What do I need to install it and will it work with my car? I have the Bose upgrade system and I'm dying for my XM or pandora. I hate the radio haha shame to waste such good speakers on FM.

I wasn't looking to buy today, but just to get some information so I might be able to get one at Christmas or something. I got this car for my birthday so a present well spent I turn 25 in 4 days hehe. (Oh I paid for the car myself, it was a self present, just thought I'd clear that up before someone thinks I'm a free loader lol)

The spec's on that stereo is a Double DIN unit (2 DIN)
It will work with some dash modifications described in the Dual DIN post in the DIY section. Dual DIN 7" Touch screen radio install

I would highly recommend the install kit for 2 DIN on ebay. It's pricey but eases the installation with the wiring connectors for the Boxster.
It also includes the key tab thing's to remove the old radio, and a nice filler plastic bracket to fill the open of the stereo.

Just be ready to loose both DIN's on top of your dash.
Sacrificing the cup holders was no biggy for me..lol

You will have to cut a small plastic cross piece between the two DIN's but real easy stuff..
