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.

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

POST 1Original post

So I've had the MOSTAUX for a few years now, and while it does the job, I'm looking to go with something a little more integrated. I have an 07 Cayman with CDR-24 and Bose. Here is what I'd like to do: 1) Keep the existing Bose speakers (they're fine for me, they work, and I listen to mostly talk radio anyway). 2) Go with this head unit: Blaupunkt New Jersey 220 CD receiver at Crutchfield.com -It's a simple dual din am/fm/cd/mp3/usb radio. Keeps all my apps on the iphone. I'm a fan of the simpler installation (no antenna, camera, etc), and outsourcing nav/mp3/satrad/etc to the phone. -It matches the color pretty closely, even the font is similar. -It has a bit of a euro flair to it, I feel like it will be right at home. 3) Assume I need this installation kit to make it fit similar to this: New Porsche 987 Cayman Custom Double DIN Installation Kit Sound Package Plus | eBay -Not sure which one I'd need exactly as I'll be replacing the amp altogether. 4) Replace the Bose Amp with an amp that will: a) support this head unit, b) support the current Bose speakers/wiring, c) fit in the stock amp location. d) support the stock powered Sub -I am totally open to suggestions on this one. So...Is this doable? Do I need to rewire the entire car? Can you keep the stock speakers/sub with a new amp and HU? Bonus Extra Credit question...Can you retain the dash display with a new HU/Amp? Thanks!!!

POST 2Original post

I replaced my head unit but kept the Bose amp. I had to use the euro speed kit to do so. If you want a different amp you'll have to find one that will work with the lower Ohms on the Bose speakers. This should be a good thread http://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman-...7-cayman-boxster-electronics/56234-latest-head-unit-replacement-avic-120bt.html

POST 3Original post

Maybe that's the route I'll go then. Looks like I can send the wiring harness to Loi, and make this a complete plug and play operation. That will save me from paying an installer, as I'm already familiar with the dash side tear down.

POST 4Original post

I did a full replacement of HU and Amp...on y 2005 Boxster with Bose... kept Bose speakers. Many newer amps out there will work with 2 ohm Bose speakers. My system sounds great for the car... after all its' a convertible, not a concert hall. All in I spent less than $750 for double din touch screen HU with GPS/Nav, BU camera, 5 channel amp and the install kit with porsche bezel...Didn't want to spend a fortune on a new system, after all the car is 10 years old and not worth a whole lot.
