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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I'm preparing to replace my Cayman's CDR24 with an aftermarket head unit. I don't have Bose, but I think I have Sound Package Plus since I have 9 speakers and an ASK amp. Currently, my ASK amp is broken (creates low frequency buzzing), so I've unplugged the fuse for the amp and I've been going without the bass speakers. Will this be an issue with the new head unit? Also, I've bought this wiring harness: Porsche Boxster Aftermarket Radio Installation Wiring Harness Antenna Adapter | eBay Is this all I need to get everything hooked up?

POST 2Original post

Don't know, but I just replaced my entire system from my 2008 cayman. It has the sound package plus and was working fine. I have all the old parts including the amp. If you want the amp pm me.
