Aftermarket Stereo Recommendation

[Boxster22]

Thanks for the help. Can I go to any aftermarket audio store for an install or do I have to be careful to find someone that knows Porsches?

Recently upgraded to a Pioneer which has XM radio and a USB cable if you want to add a thumb drive to play music. Aux insert for IPOD. Love it! Purchased the system with installation from Crutchfeld online for only $350.00. They will send you installation cards and you choose a local instal company. I was very pleased with my installation. Best $ I have spent so far on my Boxster. Also, did not have to change the amplifier.

When I added the Pioneer I currently have a audio shop did the work. Its a very basic install. If you are upgrading to a double DIN from a single DIN there are pleanty of pictures here of this change so you may want to take pictures with you so that you can show them what you want it to look like when its finished.

Good luck. Post pictures when its done.

Great responses and help but I still really don't know what to do or where to go to get it done. It is becuase of my unfamiliarity and also not wanting to screw up the car.

Called Crutchfield, they said no way, can't help you because of the diffulty level of the Porsche and existing stereo. Can't even tell you where to go to get help.

I thought, OK, be safe and just upgrade to the factory Bose system. Dealer said $3,500 minimum (what?) because of the complexity of the wiring and system. That just ridiculous.

So, I am still stuck.

Help and advice is really appreciated.
