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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I want to fit an aftermarket headunit my late 2002 Boxster S fitted with BOSE system as standard. I've been told that it is the MOST system and the BOSE amp has an optical cable meaning that the only way to fit the headunit is fit an aftermarket amp and re-wire all the speakers. Anyone know of a fitting kit enabling an aftermarket headunit to connect to the BOSE optical system?

POST 2Original post

You mention Late 2002 model however I believe the Fiber Optic Cables weren't put in until the 2003 model year. What headunit are you running now? CDR-220?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It is a facelift 2002. Audio shop had a look and said it had the optical cable and that no other option but to re-wire. Have the CDR23.
