Reported cause
I had a custom audio install done on my R8 V8 about 10 years ago by Gary Hallwood in Essex - it was the first R8 he had done.

Suggestion
If it’s the same Bose set up as the 996 it gets a bit complicated, I believe the speakers are a strange impedance and the amp uses a fibre optic connection, so you may struggle to find an amp to suit, I’d have a chat with Car Audio Security (CAS) they have a good YouTube channel and seem to understand what’s involved
Leading evidence: 'first r8 he had done' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'first r8 he had done' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Use fibre optic connection' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

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

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.

Hi has anyone got rid of Bose system in 997 Turbo. My amplifier has died ,I am looking to put a apple type unit , any advice appreciated ??
I've never owned a 997, but there are a good few installers in the UK who have updated/upgraded the audio system. I had a custom audio install done on my R8 V8 about 10 years ago by Gary Hallwood in Essex - it was the first R8 he had done. I was impressed by his work, but it didn't come cheap as I had a custom subwoofer / amplifier enclosure made.
Take a look at the bottom of the web page below where you will see a YT video of an install he did on a 997 Turbo. Obviously the subwoofer is a custom add-on. If you call him I'm sure he can advise what is achievable with the budget you have. He's done plenty 911s over the years.

Is the factory amp the ‘Ask’ brand like the non-Bise setup?
If so a guy in norway fixes the factory amp for £130. A did this a year or two ago as it was a lot less hassle than considering an aftermarket upgrade (which would escalate to head unit and speakers…).
