This is an expensive (by most people's standards) upgrade/install on a 987, particularly with the BOSE. I've been evaluating the cost of putting in the OEM PCM which would integrate with the BOSE hardware on my own car vs. the anticipated length of future ownership (which is what I'm undecided on). The PCM install is about 3,700 or so for the unit from Suncoast plus 1-1500 for the install at a dealer (it's about a day's job). If you go with the Pioneer or other aftermarket unit, you're looking at the cost of the unit, plus an audio hardware replace (if Bose), plus installation costs, so the two prices are not much different.
