THAT is a good looking car!!!!! Welcome to the addiction and good luck on Monday. Don't get frost-bite standing at the end of the drive looking for the truck.

You can replace the radio with with a double DIN, just understand that you will also be replacing the amp.

If you just want to add BT for audio streaming and hands free calling. Google the iSimple Tranzit Blu. It's about $80 and will work with the Bose system (or any other radio). It connects through the antenna so no over the air FM modulation issues.

I bought this system for an 03S a few years back but sold the car prior to installing. Last summer I stuck it in a 2002 4Runner and it works great. It pairs quickly upon starting the car and the hands free is very clear. Audio streaming is basically FM quality as far as stereo separation and dynamic range are concerned.....not CD quality but certainly listenable.

Yeah, on second thought I'll just be adding an aux into the existing head unit. I'm not looking to create headaches. Thanks for the heads up before I spend hours sorting through all the different units out there.

Drive on.

I'll bet you have a CRD-23 radio so you will not be adding AUX...sorry! Just look on the radio face to see your model number.

Great looking car BTW! It has my favorite Boxster wheels...

Congratulations! That is a fantastic looking car!

Nice job on finding it - it must have been extremely frustrating to have all those people not call you back, then have that one dealer sell the car out from under you, but in the end, you wouldn't have this car unless you went through all that, so it worked out!

Side markers - I'm probably the only person on the planet who likes the cracked egg headlights and orange side markers (I think they look good on my Speed Yellow 01 S), but I think in your case, since you already have the clear headlights, you should swap out the side markers for clear ones.

Those are also my favorite Boxster wheels!

Have fun!
