  1. 987 Cayman/Boxster Electronics 2005-2012
    Hello! I just bought my first Porsche last week, a 2005 Boxster S with the Bose stereo and 6 disc CD changer. I am quite happy with the stereo especially once I discovered you could turn surround on high. But I kind of need Bluetooth/CarPlay in my life, currently rocking the FM/Bluetooth...

    Pumpkin AE0273B-08A Android Stereo Head Unit Install in 2006 Porsche Cayman S I just completed an upgrade from the old CDR24 to a Pumpkin Android 8.0 head unit. My car has the Bose sound system which has MOST fiber optic network between the head unit and the amp. I did a blog about this here...

    As a new owner of an '09 Cayman I came here to research the muddy Bose stereo and possible fixes, when I saw someone mention a subwoofer pillow hack to clean up the muddy bass. I found a link to the "Article" here but there are no instructions, just people reviewing the "article" and saying that...

    My car got rained on. Fortunately my sheepskin seat covers caught most of the rain, though the floors were sopping wet. Everything seemed fine, except the audio. The head unit seems to operate properly but there is no sound output. Fuses are all fine. Would it be right to assume that the Bose...

    So I went on a short drive today, and when I got back in my car about an hour later I had no sound from my speakers. Nothing worked. No FM, aux, CD, bluetooth phone connection. Nothing. No amount of tinkering could bring any sound from the stereo speakers. The stereo functions all seem to...

    Does anyone know how bad the regular stereo is on a 2014 Cayman S? I am considering buying this car and it has many great options including PDK, PASM, sport chrono, PVT and sport design steering wheel. It has everything except the Bose stereo. I do like my music but I also love the sound of a...

    Hi. Got an odd problem, wondered if anyone might be able to help. I've just installed a Kenwood DMX100BT to replace the CD24 (none bose, none SPP) in my Cayman. When installing, I ran a wire from a spare slot in the fuse box (using a fuse tap, checked forums to identify an appropriate slot) to...

    I'm nearing the completion of my DIY gut & replace of the stereo in my Cayman, and I'm going to try to document the details for any other intrepid souls that are thinking of doing this themselves. My aim here is twofold - better sound quality (I was never happy with the Bose equipment) as well...

    The PCM on my CPO 2013 BS without memory seats loses some of the navigation and stereo settings after turning the car off. The guidance volume, map preferences, stereo settings for the balance, fader, etc are not recalled after the car is shut off and restarted. When the car is restarted the...
  10. 981 Cayman/Boxster Porsche Chat 2013-2016
    Hi everyone, I've poked around but sadly, have come up empty handed. I was wondering if they made a sport/paddle steering wheel with the multi-function controls? Basically this wheel (below) with all the buttons for stereo and such. I'd far prefer paddles to my current button thingies for my...
  11. 981 Cayman/Boxster Modifications 2013-2016
    I realize that adding weight is a somewhat blasphemous topic, but has anyone added sound deadening to a 981 Cayman (or Boxster)? It's a daily driver with an aftermarket stereo and am trying to get slightly better sound quality by reducing road noise. Anyone added any sound deadening on here...
  12. 981 Cayman/Boxster Porsche Chat 2013-2016
    Is: The Stereo sys. The preferance to listen to music coming from the Stereo rather than the music coming from the sound of the car should be considered sacrilegious! Lol 2 months and my Stereo has seen zero use.... .. On the other hand ...heated seats and heater combined with a nice...

    Over the last few weeks if I've let my (987.2) Cayman S sit for a few days my radio presets will be gone (and I'm greeted with a full volume static) when I start the car. It sort of feels like a battery somewhere is exhausted (other electrical components like garage door opener seem fine and...
  14. 987 Cayman/Boxster Electronics 2005-2012
    Just decided to move forward on a full overhaul to my system. Starting with a 2011 base Cayman with CD-R 30 base stereo. Going with appradio 4, alpine v75 5 channel, focal ps165 v1 components in the front. 4" alpine coax in the rear, custom fiberglass enclosure in the rear cubby with a jl...

    Anyone having problems with the stereo system in the 2014 Cayman S ?
  16. 981 Cayman/Boxster Porsche Chat 2013-2016
    Whenever I turn off the stereo, is there a decorative screen that I can be displaying its place? Or do I have to look at the stereo channels that I am not listening to? thanks Kevin

    Ok, my 2006 Cayman came without a stereo in it. I found a nice CDR24. After I purchased It the local dealer says I need the VIN of the car it came out of so they can get the code to activate it. Of course I have no way of getting that VIN. Am I screwed? Thanks, T

    Just picked up a 2006 Cayman S. I need to change out the head unit as I am lost without my iPhone and an intuitive, current navigation solution. That said, I am looking to see what folks have install in their Cayman's within the last six months or so. My car includes the BOSE system option...

    After being disgusted with the quality of Sound Package Plus I decided to rely on the advice of my local Audio guru. So picked up the car with the door speakers only swapped out for Focal P165V30 Woofers and Audison 3.0 Midranges. With Loudness On and Bass set to +1 and Treble to -2, all I can...

    Thanks to the Mr. Tunes store in Ann Arbor, MI, I have just completed a complete car stereo transplant on my 2014 Boxster, and the results are fantastic. Gone are the Bose speakers, replaced by Focals -- 100 KRS and PC 100--in doors and behind the seats with tweeters mounted under the dash and...
