Replying to: pcarrunner (Sep 01, 2007 10:42 am) Just got it last Friday and took it out to a road trip without reading the manual. Overall the UI is OK and can use some improvments, I guess it is the problem with the PCM, I think Mobridge and some other vendors have to make use of the existing PCM UI. However, it crash on me once, not sure whether it was iPod's problem or Mobridge. I can see the content of the iPod and goto the track I wanted but it won't play. Resetting the Mobridge by unpluging the power didn't help. Unpluged the iPod and it won't play the track neither. Reset the iPod then everything works fine. I never had that problem with my iPod, but again I've never put it in the truck of the car, it is hard-drive based and vibration might be the problem. Need to talk to Mobridge and figure that out. Will let you know more my after I another week or 2 of using it.

Replying to: pcarrunner (Sep 01, 2007 10:42 am) I also just got a Cayenne S. I love the car but i want an IPod hook too. Do you have the web site for MoBridge, I can't seem to find them so I can check out the IPod intergration?? All the shops around here are telling to put in the Nav-Tv kit. Also does anyone know how to take off the trim around the radio so that I can get to the screws? I can get the bottom of the trim off but when I get to the top around the heat controls it won't pop off? Thanks
