- - radio upgrade (http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24239)

Has anyonee upgraded the radio in a 2003 Boxster with the Bose upgrade? I want to change the radio with a Pioneer 910 but keep the exisiting speakers and sub. Any help would be appreciated. :)

thank you in advance,

Kevin

Unfortunately due to the MOST bus on the BOSE equipment I don't think you're going to be able to reuse the stock amp.

I ended up just taking out the stock radio and amp and installing a Pioneer DEH-P7100BT (I think it has a built in 50x4 amp) and running wires from the back of the deck, through the front firewall, and straight to the plug where the stock amp used to connect to get sound out to all of the speakers. I can probably take some pics and tell you which pins in the amp harness plug go to which speakers, then it's just a matter of running the wires from the front trunk to the back of the deck.

Search the site. LOTS of threads on this.
