Do you have rear speakers behind your head & is it the Bose system ?

I had a CDR23 with Bose Option & Amp on mine, I chose the X5600BT Double Din unit, Eurospeed double din fitting kit & this connection kit :

META_TAGS_REVIEWAutoleads PC2-95-4 Porsche Cayenne ISO Harness Lead [Autoleads PC2-95-4] - £29.99 : Car Audio 4 Less, Car Audio System


Only change I had to do was swap the Earth & +12v as it's for a cayenne but works on the Bose amp as well.

If you can get the pictures then it will make the route to take easier to decide.


That would be great, was over for National day as my dad wanted to take us over to experience it as he left in 1967..was also just over in Feb showing my boys a bit of their heritage
I have a BE-6600 MOST Ampli, CDC and CDR23. No bose system.
I will try to find a pinout and connect speakers directly from it's output.
Last question, how do I run cables from trunk to cabin?

If you go in the Frunk (Front Trunk) remove the battery cover & battery (make note of the pos & neg so you put back the correct way round) , then on yours (left hand drive?) on the right hand of the firewall you should see a large rubber grommet, use a stanley knife to slice an X in it & pass the wires through & push them down for about 6 inches.

They should come though above the accelerator peddle & you should be able to feel them

Thanks! Done it! It was a pain to get the right cables from AMP, also my pinout colors are different. I've found an aperture with a rubber cap that get straight to pedal.
If I put all speakers on common ground would this affect anything?
Thanks
