Porsche has launched a navigation radio that fits the DIN-1 slot space in older models.
It is operated by two knobs, six buttons and a touch-sensitive 3.5-inch display.

Two knob shapes are supplied to best match the rest of the dashboard.
In addition to radio reception and navigation, it has interfaces for a variety of external music sources that can be controlled from the display. A smartphone can be connected via Bluetooth. Built-in and external microphones are included. The integrated amplifier delivers 4×45 watts and can be connected either directly to the loudspeakers or to the original sound system using an optional adapter cable.
Radio reception has been optimised for the built-in aerial supplied ex-works which was generally only a single telescope.
Drivers have a choice of arrows and two-dimensional or three-dimensional maps to display the route. The maps are stored on a microSD card with eight gigabytes of memory and are updated regularly. In Germany, the new radio costs EUR1,184 including VAT.
