There is a bracket you need that sits within the red plastic pieces. I tried to find a pic. Mine is mounted below. Pretty sure it’s a Porsche part, mine doesn’t seem to be aftermarket. It has two din slots in it.

I think this is it right here... https://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2004-2005-Porsche-911-Boxster-Stereo-Bracket-Support-Mount-99655211502-/182296145521

Thanks man. I dont see any red plastic pieces that are associated with the lowest din slot. Any further detail that you can remember?

Yes, i am working the lower console piece you linked

I’ll be getting into mine tomorrow or Tuesday and take some pics. Installing an oil pressure gauge and voltmeter. My controller is in the bottom slot. Been awhile since I’ve been in there, but I’m pretty sure it just clips into the receptacle. I was referring to the red pieces in the picture above, thought it was your pic.

Okay, Geof thanks very much.

I would be interested in your gauge set up

I will post the interferences I am encountering. They may be hard to photograph but I will give it a go.

Different approaches can be taken; I think I am going to Dremel relieve the console in certain places.

For the radio to go in the top slot, two corner sections have to be whittled away a bit so that the metal frame does not catch.

For the Hvac controller, the top bearing pads interfere with a lip inside the lower slot; planning to channel that out enough to allow full insertion
