I would find a new dealer

If the wire is all brown then that is a ground wire. The radio alarm wire is brown with a blue stripe. Hi Loren Sorry about that. I is the brown wire with blue stripe that I pulled from the left side of the radio mount. And the alarm doesn't chirp when I arm it, but it will sound off maybe 10 seconds after being armed. Should I be grounding the brown/blue striped wire? Perhaps it is a charge build up that needs to drain? I'm not sure but it is driving me nuts. Derek

I replaced my CDR220 with another deck, and I simply unplugged the brown alarm wire. Problem I'm having is the alarm is going off periodically when I lock the car - probably every 1 out of 3 tries the alarm will sound. I've taped the alarm wire thinking it might have shorted somewhere, but the problem persists. Any suggestions would be helpful. Derek

Got it installed and working in a couple hours. Didn't use the PAC OEM2 interface, but just spliced and soldered the Boxster's wiring harness. There wasn't any way around splicing even if I wanted to use the PAC OEM2 interface. Instructions were slightly off on the wiring harness connections but it was simple to figure out. This Pioneer DEH-9800BT unit is awesome. The only thing I'm missing is the iPod adaptor - Crutchfield is out of stock and will be shipping it to me asap - I can't wait. No more messing around with wires and the aux input on the Becker. Still reading the manual on the Pioneer, but I'm running into a small bump using the Bluetooth. It's a non-Porsche problem but basically my ipaq 6515 isn't automatically reconnecting with the Pioneer when I re-enter the car. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with the install, and the sound quality blows the Becker CDR-220 out of the water! Can't wait to upgrade the speakers :D Derek

Well, this kinda sucks. Now I understand why they say you need the PAC OEM2 universal kit. The wiring harness (70-1784) they supply is only good for direct headunit to speaker connections. If you have the amp, then you will need a separate wiring harness for the pre-amp wiring - which of course doesn't come with the kit from Crutchfield. Perhaps there isn't one available at all, I don't know. So you would need to either use the PAC OEM2 universal kit to down convert from the speaker outputs of the headunit into pre-amp outputs for the M460 or else splice into the Boxsters wiring harness for the pre-amp connections. What a drag. Looks like I'll splice into the wires because I'm really not keen on degrading the sound quality through another unnecessary piece of electronic gadget. Sigh... I'll probably end up replacing the M460 with a real 6 channel amp after I get Harvey's PNP rears, so I suppose it's not a big deal. Time to start cutting! Derek

I just received my Pioneer DEH-9800BT and the PAC OEM kit from Crutchfield. Wondering if anyone have done this similar upgrade because I'm not sure if I need the PAC OEM kit. Can I use the Pioneer's 5V pre-outs directly into the Boxster's stock amp? Derek
