No pics, just been driving the piss out of it lately.

I love living in the desert!

Replaced Radio

with CONTINENTAL CDD7416UB-OR. Nice unit...looks very OEM, except I have streaming capability and hands free calling capability. Lighting is spot on...exactly the same color. Simple install--1 hour job, if that (with the harness).

Boxster Roadtrip

Just drove my 17year old 986 from San Francisco to Santa Barbara to Las Vegas to Grand Junction Colorado. The car was flawless. But to me, the shocker was a consistent 27-28mpg. That's better mileage than I got with my Honda S2000 and way better than I ever got with my old 911's. Am leaving the car here at a shop for a preventive care clutch, IMS and oil separator job. Will return this summer for some serious Rockey Mountain/Southwest touring, then a return roadtrip to SF. Have owned this car for about a month. It might be my fave, which is saying something after 40 years of sportcars.

I assume that this unit does not replace MOST units in a 2003 Boxster
