Weird Stereo Wiring

Hello Everyone. I am sure this has been beat to death on here but so far I'm striking out trying to find info on my particular stereo wiring. I have a 1999 Boxster and want to put a new head unit in it. None of the kits I find are the same as my car. I've been to a couple of stereo shops and they say I may have to cut the plug off of one of the harnesses then figure out which wires need to go into the bigger plug. I really don't want to get into cutting and hacking.

I have a factory amp up front and the car came with single cd player/stereo. Any help identifying which wires are which for my application would be appreciated. I am trying to include a pic of my current wiring. This is all there is for plugs, nothing else further in the dash, just this.

Thank You in advance!!
