Do all Boxsters come with that plug already installed or did the early models needs to have rear speakers to have the wiring installed by the factory?

this was never answered , so I am wondering did the 97-99 box have this plug prewired for the optional addition?
My 2000S had one, so I am hoping that my 97 has this too.

?- yes I can check when I get home tonight - but was hoping someone could tell me so that I know if I can purchase the one I found on flea-bay.

On my 2001 S, it didn't have rear speakers and as far as I could find, I had no rear wires from the stereo either. I bought the rear speaker kit on Ebay and had to run the wires. BTW, the speakers weren't great and I ended up replacing them 1-2 years later. Also later added a new head unit that powered the rear speakers and that made a huge difference (as would have the amp from a 911) as the stock 986 amp only powers the fronts.
