Front and back cameras/alerts
 
Just purchased a new Boxster basic and, being I am a "senior" citizen, am regretful that I did not opt for the front and back cameras and alerts. The dealer advised me that they do not install, after the fact, those options. And a sales rep warned me that installing that equipment can be very difficult on a Porsche.
I will appreciate any and all advice on this matter, particularly would appreciate any product referrals.

Not sure how "senior" you are (I'm 64), but Boxsters have 3 great rear view mirrors and a nice big windshield. Just slow down and drive defensively; pretend you are on a motorcycle and no one can see you!

Do a search on the internet to find aftermarket equipment that will work with the stock Boxster.

Here is one example. There are several more;

Be careful with aftermarket that guy with the loads of electrical problems in his 991 started with some aftermarket tech. Did some of the 986s have front and rear sensors? I think I read that somewhere.

This ones needs only to be hooked up the backup light wire....
