I just got a Pioneer AVIC-D3 and it came with the backup camera, but I don't even know where the backup camera can be installed.

Plus I don't think you need a backup camera on a boxster.

Did you get it from Crutchfield's? I was looking at the D3 and it comes with a backup cam. I'm thinking of getting it for my Box, but I'm a noob when it comes to car stereos. How much work is involved installing it?

i am happy with the 9800bt thats why i bought it. just keeping you guys up to date with whats going on in my boxster which wont suffer from crappy radio syndrome. i dont need back up camera's or dvds i drive the car and watch television in my living room. and my kids go in the suv so no need for dvd's in my boxster. i will post some photo's by the end of the week when my stereo upgrade should be complete. also i will ask my installer to make more subwoofer enclosures for the jl audio 8v3 subwoofer and maybe sell them on ebay. make a killing and set the market, just like in the perfect storm.

I'm also seriously interested in the enclosure if you can have the shop make extra ones. Email me with the price if you think that could happen!

Cool, Bill. Can't wait to see the pics when it's done.

BTW, where did you drop it off?

i live in long beach new york. i am a nyc firefighter and work in far rockaway queens. there is a stereo shop nearby the firehouse that does all this specialty stuff. they do all the rap stars cars so i figured they must know how to get some bass in a car. i saw some of the guys custom work also very clean good with the fiberglass.
