Not today, since it's 7 a.m. here, but yesterday evening I got some projects done.
- Desnorkeled
- Swapped the illuminated vanity mirrors with broken hinges from the sun visors to new ones without lights
- Removed the Navi unit and replaces it with a tray
- Replaced the ashtray with a storage bin
- Removed the handset.
Now I need a piece of trim for where the handset has been.
And wow, the intake noise after removing the snorkel is awesome!

Any reason you removed your NAV unit? Would you up for selling it?

I might, though it's an 8-bit system with no map updates available since 2001 and I live in Sweden, so shipping might be a bit pricey. I also like to have the option to restore the car to factory specs.
The old PCM 1 navigation is actually quite outdated and I would advise you to look at other options.
Edit: And the reasons for removing it are that I don't use it and I prefer to have a storage bin instead.

Hi. Today I have taken out the seats and prepped for re dye, changed the drivers side spoiler ram and removed the centre console and carpet to help in the long search for water ingress. Busy day.

Finished mounting my tweeters
Plug straight into the factory harness, and sound pretty good. I need to do some tweaking, then I'll decide if I will try something else, or keep them and move on to replacing the door speakers.
(Stock bose mids and tweeters are for sale if anyone is interested)

I have an 06, no switch that I can find on the cover. I even took the cover off.

Ah, assumed you had a 986. Do you have your manual? I think your switch is on the center console

The switch is in the center but feels like it only goes down, but has arrows that point both up and down. Don't want to force it up. Anyone know if it goes up? I feel like a total idiot on this one btw.

If you don't have the manual, I would try asking someone on another forum like Planet 9 or Rennlist. If you are PCA member, you could also try the Boxster Register. My knowledge is with the prior gen 986. It sounds like maybe the switch needs replacing. Don't feel like an idiot at all! I have asked some pretty dumb questions. We're all in this P car thing together! Good luck.

I did look at the planet 9, sounds like it does push up. I'll have to give it a try!
