My 03 Boxster has the MOST system. I installed a head unit similar to what is being talked about.

The OEM setup uses the fiber optics to turn on the radio and amp if equiped. The fiber optics may get its commands from CAN BUSS, I don't know.

To get my installation to work I simply had to find a way to turn on my head unit without using the MOST control. I needed an accessory on power supply.

I found an accessory on power supply in the center console just below the HVAC controls.

There was a plug for a mobile telephone, and it had an accessory power supply I used.
