There are enough people replacing radios with factory PCM and aftermarket that you can usually find an OK deal.

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.

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

Outcome without a verified action link
I found one blown 25 amp fuse and replaced it, but it didn't solve the problem, the radio is still dead.

POST 1Original post

I have an 06 Cayman S , I believe it has the base radio - no navigation or DVD or anything like that, just the radio and CD player. The radio is dead. The fuse box diagram as far as I can tell does not have a spot specificatlly for the radio although there are spots for the amp, CD changer and others. I found one blown 25 amp fuse and replaced it, but it didn't solve the problem, the radio is still dead. Everything else electrical in the car appears to work. Can someone tell me: Is there someway I can verify that the radio is fried? Are there any other fuses or circuit breakers other than the fuse block near the driver's seat that I can check? How do I trouble-shoot the problem? Any ideas what the dealer is going to charge to replace it? Is it possible to replace it myself? Where can I obtain the manual showing how to dismantle the dash and pull the radio out? I assume I can just go to the dealership and order a radio, any idea what it will cost by itself? Thanks a bunch, Craig

POST 2Original post

Is your car is no longer under warranty? I would make a trip to the dealer to see if they can find out what happened? A blown fuse is not a problem, it is a symptom of something else going wrong. Here is a link to the radio installation in the articles section. If it comes down to replacing the radio I would keep an eye out in the classifieds here and on ebay. There are enough people replacing radios with factory PCM and aftermarket that you can usually find an OK deal.

POST 3Original post

As cheerIO points out this should be covered by warranty unless you have modified the electronics in some way that might have caused a problem. You also might want to take a look at these if you have not (although your issue seems different): http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-chat/5196-radio-doesnt-work-sometimes.html http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/13819-radio-stop.html

POST 4Original post

You should be able to pick one up on ebay for around $100. I'd probably test the harness before I went that route.

POST 5Original post

my radio also died. it was replaced by the dealer under warranty. no problems since.

POST 6Original post

I just wanted to update everyone on this issue..... I took the car to the dealership and the were able to quickly diagnose the problem as a blown fuse and replaced it. This particular fuse is located within the radio itself, not in the fuse block, so it requires removal of the radio.

POST 7Original post

Glad you solved it.. Mine was toast too not long ago... Pulled the two bottom right fuses (neither said "radio" in the diagram etc, but were obviously related... amp, or something like that).. anyway, both of those fuses were "OK", but the radio did come one next time I powered it up. hope this might help someone in the future.

POST 8Original post

Also had the same issue. The Bose radio system would not function. The word " Porsche " would appear, but the stereo system did not turn on. Pulled out and re inserted fuses D9 and D10, which reset the computer, and the stereo system worked.
