You got the wrong kit for your console.

It came this way with the car.

So I found this kit at Crutchfield:

This should be the right one for my 2002 Boxster Base. Has anyone had any experience with it?

This is the one I bought, it is made by a company called CONNECTS2, they also do all the different harnesses aswell and great customer support, they know their stuff. The ebay seller that I got this from, Dynamic Sound is a distributor for Connects2.
