I also swapped the old 7 " blown out door speakers for new BLAM 165RC set and they also sound pretty good.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1Original post

Hello Porsche Fam, I recently purchased an 06 cayman S and it comes with navigation system but no Bluetooth.. also don’t think the speakers are Bose since I can’t see the logo anywhere and they work okay.. any recommendations for an easy Bluetooth setup and speaker upgrade? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Welcome to the forum! Plenty of posts here on this topic. Cheapest is to use a FM transmitter or swap out the head unit. The Gen1 Caymans don’t have an auxiliary input so your options are limited.

POST 3Original post

Thanks! forgot about those FM transmitters.

POST 4Original post

Look at the Dension units. They are expensive but they take the place of the CD changer in the MOST ring. I had a complete PCM 2.1 with Bose though. I replaced my head unit and amp then did a speaker swap. I have Hertz 3-ways replacing the Bose speakers in the doors and dash tweeters. I went with their 3-way crossovers.

POST 5Original post

Thank you for the tip! These would pretty much be what I need, and can still keep the navigation system while connected to Iphone

POST 6Original post

If you have the aux input in the armrest you can get a cheap Bluetooth dongle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi there... if you're not in a crowded FM zone, the below solution should work just fine. low complexity, low cost and best money spent on the car - esp. since Waze , Google maps and Spotify are pretty much are all I run now and I require a fast charging ports in the car that can actually charge while powering those apps. See post #9 best 15 dollars I spent on my Cayman so far... i had been considering getting a bluetooth streaming kit or a CDR Aux kit to connect my phone to the car head unit. the criteria I had: - keep the power outlets if possible - prefer that it doesnt go on visor - no visible cables or messy wires - easy installation - low/no maintenance this is... www.planet-9.com

Thank you @eyeofthetiger I ended up buying an FM transmitter on amazon that was roughly $20 and works great. I also swapped the old 7 " blown out door speakers for new BLAM 165RC set and they also sound pretty good. I found out that I should probably swap the factory 4" speakers that are on the door as well --- they're not blown out yet, but might have some issues down the line.. any tips there?
