The radio stopped working (no sound) on my 2000 Boxster S. The radio itself seems okay...the tape player plays..everything lights up. The DSP unit below does not light up, however. I took the car to an independent car audio place since my Porsche dealer is 170 miles away. He took it apart and checked all the fuses and connections. He sent the DSP unit and the amp to an outside repair guy who couldn't find anything wrong but said he had no way to test it. Fortunately, none of this cost me anything. He would be happy to sell me an after market radio of course.

So, what next? Is the DSP repairable? Should I look for a used one? Any recommendations?
