The Boxster audio wiring is different depending on which stock audio system it came with.

For instance the Bose system in mine did not have a switched 12V lead in the harness.

Antenna power and amp turn on are both +12V so they are interchangeable.

I have a 2002 cdr220, it's the easiest setup to upgrade. Pretty much my avic harnesses are missing a blue connector. I only have one for system remote control, where as the instructions suggest that there should be two, unless both system remote and antenna connect together to the blue boxster harness.

So I hooked up the HU and it works great with exception to my door speakers. I can't get either to work. I think it has to do with the red harness as the front will work fine and will work in either the front or rear avic harness outputs but not the rears. I'm going to try the old radio again and see if the door speakers work if they do I know it's the harness.

Otherwise the radio kicks ass and the eurospeed installation and bezel look great. I can't wait to mess around with it some more.

I got it to work, I didn't realize the door speakers were sub woofers. They were working the entire time. I wonder why they aren't connected to the sub woofer channel? A question I have is if I buy the rear speakers that go on the sides of the pizza oven, where do I connect them?
