Hi All,
Firstly can I say, what a great forum and a pleasure to have the wisdom of so many Porsche owners available!
I have just purchased my pride and joy, a 2007 2.7 Boxster. Unfortunately it came with one of those horrible Parrot systems installed (the MKI9200) and I wanted to remove it with a view to eventually replacing it with this: Bluetooth A2DP Handsfree USB SD AUX Adapter For Porsche: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
I also noticed that there was no bass coming through the bottom door speakers (I believe I have the Sound Package Plus as I have the amplifier in the 'frunk') and think it might be something to do with the way this Parrot system has been installed. Over the weekend, thanks to many tutorials available on the website I managed to take the PCM out of the dashboard and have a look behind - I disconnected the Parrot amp (blue box) however the wiring loom is still intact as I believe the power cables have been spliced in (there is a red cable which goes into the Parrot loom from the black ISO connecter into the HU and a brown/orange one which goes to the ignition). Will post pictures shortly!
Does anyone have any ideas as to a) how i can safely disconnect the Parrot wiring loom and b) get some bass through the doors? I'm aware that the ASK amps are known to fail however I want to see if getting rid of all that Parrot stuff makes any difference before removing the amp!
I love driving my car but having the sound system sorted would be the cherry on the top!
Much appreciated,
Krishan
