I do not have an external CD player but he says he will give me instructions to program a aux setting for the radio.

You can only use it if you do NOT have a CD changer however, as it uses the aux input.
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.

Does anyone know where I can buy a connecting harness to install a satellite radio in my 99 Boxster?
I don't want to cut the factory harness.
If not available, can I buy OE Porsche connectors to make my own harness?
Has anyone with a 996/997 BTDT?
Thanks in advance.
Len
SW Stereo offers the part you are looking for (
http://www.swstereo.com/
), installed it in my 996 and it works like a champ. You will need a mini stereo to RCA cable and dont forget to ask for the radio tools.
Cheers

I called them, [phone removed].
Nice people.
The cable they sell for $25 connects a XM or Sirius tuner via their RCA conn to the aux input of a CDR 220.
Its a direct plug n play.
You can only use it if you do NOT have a CD changer however, as it uses the aux input.
Perhaps a switch can be fitted to have both.
Now I am looking for a CDR 220 at a reasonable price.
I will let you all know how I make out.
Cheers.
Len
Thank you. Hopefully I can do the install this weekend and most likely disconnect my CD player. Unfortunately it is a leased vehicle otherwise I would sell you my CDR
One more bit of info I hope is correct.
I am told Crutchfield has a wire harness adaptor to install a DIN mount XM or Sirius radio in a Boxster or 996.
A direct plug-in (?????).
This replaces the Porsche CDR 220 or whatever you have or have not.
I have not, as this was a salvage car & the radio was missing.
It looks like I will go this route.
I will let you all know how it works.
Len
Smile, you own a Porsche and there is NO substitute.
The Crutchfield harness part is Nr 120701784, and antenna adapter is Crutchfield Nr 1040VW12.
This allows an aftermarket XM or Sirius radio to be installed as a direct plug-in to the 996.
Depending on the model year, you might also need a OEM-2 Amp interface.
So, lets see how this works.
If anyone tries this before me, please post your results.
Cheers,
Len

I talked to SW Stereo tonight. They seem to know what you need to hook up an XM or an MP3. I will see how it works and report back. I do not have an external CD player but he says he will give me instructions to program a aux setting for the radio. We will see.
Put the connector in today. Works with both XM and MP3. When I had a problem I called them up and worked it through. Great help. Hard to believe someone here in the USA will still do that for you
