Continental TR7412UB-OR Stereo Installation and Review

Nice, i think this is on my short list for my new boxster once i pick it up assuming it works with the Bose system. Where did you all mount the microphone for calls?

I didn't bother with the external mic. The one built into the stereo works perfectly.

This.

I have also found this to be accurate.

Although, I can only talk when the car is at idle, exhaust is too loud. lol

Hi - I have just ordered the same head unit with the MOST adapter from Bergvill FX so will post my install once I get the bits.

I am about to order this setup for the 04 boxster s special edition. Is there a usb that you can hook in an ipod lightning cable that both supplies the music and charges it at the same time or do you have to charge it from an additional source? Great looking unit.

Looks pretty sweet. My 01 has the climate control in the console, so I had space for a double din Pioneer in the dash. Always been happy with Pioneer, so it was a natural for me.

I'm older and don't like the feeling of being distracted from my driving. It's hard enough for me without some damned phone nagging me with spam calls for aluminum siding. So I didn't get the bluetooth on purpose. Love driving the Boxster without extra attention required. I remember when car radios had two knobs and you couldn't make a call in a car. So nothing lost for me.

If I hadn't just replaced my obsolete (not very good) broken OEM, I might spring for the one you chose. Really does look like it belongs.

Thanks for sharing.

So does anyone have this unit in 2003 Boxster already?
I do not have BOSE but I have amplifier in front trunk.
...will it work for me as plug&play?

Question how do you remove the old frame? I am doing a single din test on radio i didnt really see anything to pull out.

M4tus: i dont have this specific radio but doing single din and have a factory amp the adaptors from metra everything plug and play. So i would think this one is same.

BTW does look nice.

@Cunningr
But do you mean radio with optical cables? Called MOST? Cause this is the issue.
Factory setup which I have sounds fine for me. But no posiibility of USB connecting or AUX-in is problem.

Can you put a link which adaptors you mean?
