I made the mistake of not getting the upgraded stereo. Does anyone have any experience in adding rear speakers? Is it even possible to add them to the 4 speaker stock CDR24 stereo. Also is it pre-wired? Thanks

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You'll have to pull rear hatch pieces to see if it is pre-wired, you should be able to buy the speakers separately from Porsche or go with better aftermarket ones, but wiring them up could be a chore if no pre-wiring exists.

I thought all US cars came standard w/the "plus" sound package including 7 speakers (2 in the rear). At least my '06 did. The only upgrade was Bose. Has that changed?
POST 4Original post
Yes the non-S cars starting in 2007 don't have rear speakers if you get the regular stereo.

Is there an article or website that show's the proper removal of the rear hatch pieces?
POST 8Original post
Yes in our articles section (Click Artices at top) then find the cosmetic articles and there is a 2 part series on taking out the rear hatch pieces, follow those 2 articles and you are golden.

Just an update. The car is NOT pre-wired and does not have a rear speaker enclosure.
