lordlee Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Gents, I've spent the after looking through various threads on here and just about everywhere in fact - I want to find out which BT set up I can use to get my car to play my Spotify music. So far there are the following: Denison 500 - circa £300 Parrot mki9200 - circa £145 iSimple - circa £90 Mobridge - £500++ I cant really see which one is vastly better than the others as they all seem to have good/bad features. What are other 987 users using please? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I use one of these to connect to the aux socket: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Receivers-Streaming-Receiver-Tablet-Support/dp/B00EAEWA82/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1480874143&sr=8-4&keywords=bluetooth+3.5mm+esynic Have been using for about 6 months without issues. Battery lasts several hours. It's very basic but works fine for playing music from a phone (as well as phone sat nav audio). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1951 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Aux socket? Got a 987.1 Reg may 2008, 6 months ago is there a socket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Dunno about a 987.1 - mine is a 987.2 and it has one under the arm rest. It points to the rear so not easy to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a factory fit option, just inside the arm rest cubby hole, as @Nath says it points backwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1951 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Thank you I shall look. It'll be great if there's one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordlee Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The Parrot mki9200 is a no go as you have to buy an extra adapter adding an additional £190 to the price before fitment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I've got a 987.1 with a PCM 2.1 Sat Nav system and while there is a power socket under the arm rest there is unfortunately no audio socket. I have also been looking for a connector to link to an ipod or iphone but not found anything reasonably priced yet. I'm also reluctant to replace the radio as then I'll lose all the integration features. I have a Tooki BT phone system installed however it doesn't give you audio streaming (you can make it stream but it only comes out of one set of speakers). The m2.connect seems like a good system however the price from their UK outlet is £1200 which is a little steep! I'd be interested if you manage to find something reasonably priced.

Macthehaggis Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 So this was one of the first things I looked at when I got my 987.1 which has PCM with Sat nav. Like may others I researched and was looked at the Dension, but didn't like the flakiness of the system and the questions whether you needed to get Porsche to activate the CD exchanger option etc. In the end I took advice from a friend who worked in Car audio who said try one of the latest FM transmitters devices. Now I had tried these long time ago when they first came out 15 years ago, but I was surprised how good they are now for sound, and I am a critic believe me. I bought one from Amazon and still using it now. Plugs into the cig lighter for power and has a 3.5 jack plug which plugs into iPhone or iPod. Price was 9.99. Worth a punt to try and see if you like it or move on to something more permenant. http://www.tecknet.co.uk/f27-new.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macthehaggis Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Volume is the same as the PCM CD volume on the one I use. Considering the cost to get something permenant I guessed if it broke I would just buy another one. So far it's doing ok. I play an Apple IPod through it which is kept in the car.

villaman Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks Mac...I've been trying to find a solution for months as iive got a 987.1 with Bose and as far as could make out the only viable solution was the Dynavin which still can be flaky....and not cheap. i will try one of these as a cheap short term fix.....shame I don't have the Aux as the Bluetooth adapter looks great.

chipmunk Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've just ordered a NAV-TV POR iPod. It plugs in place of the shuttle and streams music over the MOST ring. It has a 30 pin Apple connection (perfect for my iPod) but you can use an adapter for a newer iPhones or other music devices. Best part is it works with my Tooki tel BT unit. It arrives next week and I'll let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyp Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 So how did it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Sorry - been meaning to post something with a few pictures but right after the installation we left to go on holiday. I will post something more substantial but I though I'd provide a summary in the meantime. In short the NAV-TV unit is excellent. It links to the MOST ring so needs to be installed either in the front boot or inside behind the radio. I decided to put it behind the radio to avoid punching holes in the rubber gromets in the firewall. In my case the previous owner had installed the Tooki BT phone unit behind the radio so I first needed to move this to under the front seat (recommended position). I then installed the NAV-TV unit with the iPod cable routed through a hole I made in the cubbyhole. I also attached a BT receiver to the RCA interface so I can stream music from my mobile phone. The unit replaces the CD shuttle and can be controlled either from the iPod directly or via the PCM system. There is an external interface option which allows you to use the RCA connectors (BT receiver in my case) with full control via the mobile phone. In short a recommended system that works well, sounds great, and isn't that difficult to install. Not cheap but then I don't think any of the available options are.

lordlee Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Sounds like a good result. I went for the Dension 500 in the end. Will fit it soon and let people know my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
