Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I note the Sound menu in my head unit includes Bass, Treble, Balance and Loudness settings with space for another setting which is probably where the Fade setting is located on cars fitted with the surround sound option.

To get the most out of the modification I need to somehow fit fader control to allow me to independently adjust the volume of the rear speakers.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2010 Boxster S with the standard stereo with SATNAV all using the same display unit. Disappointed with the sound quality I bought a kit from the US which adds 4 speakers to the existing rear parcel shelf. To get the most out of the modification I need to somehow fit fader control to allow me to independently adjust the volume of the rear speakers. The car stereo people who fitted the kit for me said I would need to modify the head unit in order to get Fade control. I note the Sound menu in my head unit includes Bass, Treble, Balance and Loudness settings with space for another setting which is probably where the Fade setting is located on cars fitted with the surround sound option. I am hoping my head unit is the same as those with the Fade control included, but not activated on my car. That seems sensible for Porsche as it would reduce the number of variations in head units needed. Can anyone confirm if this is the case; and if not, do I need to fit another head unit? Hoping there are many people out there who have more technical expertise than me.
