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.

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

POST 1Original post

Had my Windshield replaced and the installer botched the connection of my antenna booster . It is a 987.2 2009 Boxster S . I did not notice how poor the reception was on my radio until I have been driving with the top up. I removed my pillar A and was shocked to find loose, hand wrapped 16 guage wiring. photo is attached below... I removed the antenna booster from the pillar and re-seated it. I could not figure out how to remove the black square connectors on each end of the booster (997-647-117-00). I am assuming this is totally wrong. I barely have any AM reception. Does anyone know what the end connectors are supposed to connect to? Is it the Windshield antenna? Currently it is a 9" loop of wire connected end to end. -Callahan-

POST 2Original post

i have the exact problem i bought my boxster with windshield already replaced , i didnt until i found out that there was no windshield antenna and no antenna booster , so my AM reception is terrible btw, is that the passenger or driver side? i am hoping i could buy the antenna booster with connectors.

POST 3Original post

Picture came out upside down... It is the driver's side. I ended up taking a 18" of 16 gauge cable and soldered it to each exposed end of the antenna booster . I wrapped everything in electric tape. I looped the cable so that it runs the length of the pillar. It is a 90% improvement for AM reception, and 80% improvement on FM. My Toyota can hold some of the weaker FM channels, and the Porsche losses them. In retrospect, I spent all my time making sure I got Saint-Gobain-Sekurit OEM glass (identical to what was replaced), and ended up with someone who has not worked with a Porsche before. -Callahan-

POST 4Original post

care to share where you got the windshield and how much?

POST 5Original post

In Toronto, I had the windshield installed for $400 Canadian or $305 USD. The install is fine and the car Windshield holds up under high speeds. I have had no issues other than the antenna hook-up. I am thinking of removing the other pillar A cover to examine if there is a 2nd antenna booster . -Callahan-

POST 6Original post

hi guys... not sure if the cars are identical in right hand drive format but mine was like this. I can't recall if mine had the booster but if the car setup is the same - this cable should run the length of the right pillar and possibly connect all the way to the left where your booster is located. I couldn't trace mine as it goes into the pillar near where the connector is. Hope this helps.

POST 7Original post

2 weeks now and my radio is working great.... In spots were I had no reception I am getting full sound. I am glad my modification seems to of done the trick. -Callahan-
