Updated sound system
 
I really don't like commercial radio and I would like to swap out my original CD/AM/FM player in my 2004 Boxster S to a unit that has either USB or Bluetooth to stream my own music. I have the fiber optic cables and amplifier and I enjoy simplicity. Do any of you have suggestions? Thanks, much appreciated.

I have an 01 Boxster. I pulled out the silly cup holders and the stock radio and replaced it with a nice Double Din Pioneer from Crutchfield. If you get one of their package deals, you get everything you need to easily install the deck (adapter kit, wiring adapters, even the little things for pulling the old stereo out of the dash.)https://www.crutchfield.com/g_168550/In-dash-DVD-Players-Video-Receivers.html?tp=20217

The one I have has an aux plug port on the front, a usb port (tho I don't know if it's anything more than a charging port.) And a single CD slot. Bluetooth was available, but for some reason, I didn't choose it. The aux port can connect to anything, I used to use a cable to connect to a Sirius XM receiver (don't like XM anymore, tho.)

I replace the cd storage crap too. with a delete plate from BMW that costs about $12 or so.

I posted a response but apparently the mods never okayed it. Bottom line is that Crutchfield can provide everything you need to make an simple clean installation of a Din 2 Pioneer (or other brand) AM FM CD deck with an aux input and Bluetooth. It cleans up the dated look of the dash and you can get a deck that was actually designed in this century!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1507383953.jpg
