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.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 1 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Thought I would share my story of making my CDR-30 much better... I recently purchased a 2011 Boxster . The basic CDR-30 (non Bose ) was not good. It did have the AUX input option in the center console but that's it. I have improved it to the point that it's actually pretty darned good. Not amazing, but about as good as average "premium" sound in my other cars. Here is what I did: - Installed rear speaker kit from Suncoast . Check Youtube install videos. Use a knife, not a dremel (tried both). Wires tucked into center console, not door sills. - Installed iSimple ISFM22 for bluetooth audio (I spliced into the Aux audio in, and used the white "power antenna" wire for power. - Installed Kenwood KSC-SW11 subwoofer. This is a compact powered unit that I put on the floor behind the drivers seat. It would also fit upright behind the drivers seat. I couldn't quite make it work under the passenger seat, but that would have been ideal. As it is, there is little to no loss of drivers seat adjustment. Power is switched form the white "power antenna" wire and is powered from the same wire that powers the CDR-30 (red/brown) using a tap behind the CDR-30 . I tapped the rear speaker wires for the source. All in all, it was a minor PIA to get all the taps to make solid connections. There was a little trial and error. Also, I'd string suggest running all wires through the center console. Lots of room and you can just tuck them in there, no need to take apart anything, and no need to deal with door sills (as some instructions suggest). It is a visibly clean install. Here are the settings I use. There was quite a bit of experimentation, and I even used a spectrum analyzer (not too useful for car audio). It now sounds pretty darned decent. These settings work well at all volumes and top up or down. Don't expect miracles, but I'm much happier. As soon as Carplay goes wireless, I'll replace the CDR-30 , which should improve things quite a bit further. Radio: Bass -2, Treble +3, Loudness on Bluetooth: Bass +2, Treble +3 Loudness on Sub: About 3/4 the way up

POST 2Original post

Wow, very cool. The CDR 30 is just about useless. That's why I'm going to install a louder exhaust ...

POST 3Original post

Interesting, does anyone know what kind of amps that white antenna wire can handle? I’d like to install both a Bluetooth unit and a USB phone charger…
