The head unit is by Xtrons, this is the third car ive fitted an Xtrons unit in and they are really good. This one is the TA7091PL - https://xtrons.co.uk/double-din-android-9-0-ta709ipl - look on ebay as the same unit is cheaper and its from Xtrons using a different ebay seller name.

The cage is from a company called Connects2 who I use for all my cages and harnesses for double din head units. They have a great back up customer services aswell.

The ebay seller for this cage is Dynamic Sound who is the official distributor for Connects2 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Stereo-Radio-Double-Din-Fitting-Kit-Fascia-Panel-Adaptor-Black-for-Porsche/352465150023?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Also the harness came from the same company and the only wire I had to install was for the illumination of the head unit which I took from the feed for the bulb on the cigarette lighter. This harness is for a boxster with built in amp but NOT fibre optics - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CT53-PO01-CD-Wiring-Loom-Harness-Active-System-Adaptor-For-Porsche-911-Boxster/401631954462?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 .

They also do the harness if yours does have the fibre optics

It was all really easy to install and only took a couple of hours. I do have a reversing camera to fit which I will do one day

Click on the link for the cage, that's the surround for the head unit and the other surround for moving the climate controls

Just looked at yours and you have the same facia as me, its the head unit thats wrong. They do state on the eBay listing for the facia that some Chinese head units are too big, which is the problem you had. The Xtrons unit fitted perfectly

Many thanks.

I fitted that a few years back and at that time could not get the correct facia so cut that oneto fit.

Your looks much neater.
