Glad I could help save you some $$. Why did you move the window and seat function buttons? I moved my window buttons from the front spot to the rear. I'll probably switch them back to the original spot next time I'm digging in that area.

Couple reasons:
- because my center console has some miles on it, kinda loose fitting
- blanks and unused buttons in the horseshoe were annoying and pointless to me
- proper number of blanks and unused to swap, so it was a good match
- would like to fabricate or redesign the factory console to include cup holders and a spot for my carry piece

If you're wondering what Der Faszination is, it's a Porsche films/local Las Vegas/enthusiast group.
Really glad I got to meet some member and made Porsche friends.
The PCA doesn't really do it for me.

For the Deutsch speakers, we know it's supposed to be Die.

I hit 168,000 miles a couple days ago, so I decided I should clean her up a bit.

Temps in the upper 90's and low 100's, overcast all day yesterday, was a good day to take off work and do some car & truck stuff.

I used Optimum Opti-Clean concentrate to clean her off, some Goo Gone because I'm still finding residue from the wrap, and a vinegar based window cleaner to clean the wheels.

An amateur photog grabbed some snaps of my Boxster from Cars & Coffee and Cars und Kaffee a couple weeks ago.

I tracked him, Anthony Greene, down on IG and he sent me the pics.
His instagram is @theautorama

They show the road grime incredibly well.

So, the stereo harness adapter came in from Bergvill.

I had the CDR-210 factory unit, you need this adapter to connect Continental head unit TR7412UB-OR.

Bluetooth and radio work great, stereo is great, reception is great, no complaints.

How the Bergvill harness connects to the Conti stereo.



How the Bergville harness (left) connects to the factory harness (right).



I did have to shave off a little of the inside frame so the stereo retention sleeve would fit.
Don't forget to bend the 4 inside tabs and two bottom tabs on the retention sleeve to prevent it from sliding back out.



All buttoned up and fully functional.

Going through the process of extracting media from Photobucket, bear with me if you're looking for pictures.
