I've installed all the necessary wires except for the illumination wire for my navigation unit.  I have a 2003 boxster with the MOST system.  The illumination wire is not part of the porsche stock harness.

I tried to tap into the illumination wire on the side switches, but without success.  The side switches have an (+) and an (-) wire connection (the right and left side, respectively while facing the back of the switch).

I spliced into the (+) wire without success.

Any suggestions?

What kind of navi are you installing?

Hello,

Any recommendation for wheel spacers?

Would 17"mm wheel spacer all around be too much for my 03 S with 18" carrera lightweight wheels?

Any inputs would be appreicated.

The ghl is loud around 2k to 3500 area. so far i am pleased.

It sounds nice and I don't feel a drop in power.

Finally after 7 hours I finally got the GHL muffler installed. The hardest part was taking out the U pipes. I had to wd40 them and wiggled them out. Those took me like 1 1/2 hour.

Wow the muffler sounds very throaty and nice. The muffler isn't too loud that everyone states...must be the 4 cats in the 03 S. I have to say this is a very nice exhaust.

Help guys

I removed all the nuts and bolts...but those two long bolts in the top bracket are killing me. I removed the nuts but the bolts are too long and does not push out. Plus those pipes that connects to the exhaust does not slide out...I used a lot of wd40 and I cannot wiggle it out. Do anyone have any tips or tricks. I been working on this for 3 hours now and I seen other done it in 2 hours.

I have a 03 Boxster S.

thanks

Hello Smart Top Users

When using smart top to raised the roof the lid is flush with the rear but I notice the lid is not completely flush with the rear of the boxster when the top is completely lowered. Is this normal?

I am going to swap out the smart top module with the oem and see it it does the same thing later today.

Hi,

I was wondering has anybody installed a ghl muffler or pse by themselves?

Is there TSB available that shows where all the nuts and bolts are located?

Thanks

I installed the smart top module. This is the most easy upgrade ever done to my Boxster. It works like a charm. Highly recommended.

I just place an order for one. I can't wait to install it and test it out.

Great post

I have a Kenwood 915 + 4100 nav. I was going to install it over the winter but it got too cold. I am going to take a crack at it once it gets a little warmer here in NYC.

I wanted to ask you is the GAL speed senor wire and Reverse signal wire located at the same spot in a 2003 Boxster?

Many thanks

where is the website for smart top?

plus what is the cost for it?

I have a few electrical questions

Would anyone know where the car speed signal harness, reverse lamp harness and car light control/dimmer harness are?

I just received a new radio/navigation for xmas and I would like to install it.

Many thanks,

Hi

I have 265/40 18s mounted on the rear would that be a problem for me?

It is on 18" Carrera 5 spoke 9x18 52 offset wheel.

Thanks

Is the wires from the amp to the speakers fiber optics? or it is just regular copper?

Thanks,

Thanks for the info...this looks great and very helpful.

I was wondering would you have the pin outs for the 490 amp in the front trunk.

I also have the Porsche rear speaker kit wired to it. I believe it is a 4 channel amp.

Many thanks,

Hi,

I have a 03 S with the Hi Fi option plus CDR23 unit. I purchased a Kenwood 715Dvd radio last week. I installed the radio today and I mounted it in the upper console. The install went fine and everything fitted perfectly. But I am stuck now with the harness.

I removed the CDR23 unit and there were 4 cables connected to the back of this unit. 1, the large plug. 2, the smaller yellow plug above the large plug. 2, the fiber optics plug. 4, the antenna plug.

What are the pin outs for the larger / smaller plugs so I can connect it to the wire harness?

What is the fiber optics plug use for?

Is there an antenna adapter so I can plug it to the reciever contronl unit.

Can I disconnect all the cables in the amp and connect it to the radio harness?

Would that give me sound?

Any help would be great.

Many thanks,

I wanna replace my factory radio with an Alpine IVA-D300. But the MOST bus is not compatible with the alpine radio. Also can the amp in the trunk be removed if I changed the radio?

I heard the factory alarm is tied into the MOST bus, is that true.

What kind of modification I can do with my audio system?

Many thanks,

03 Boxster S

I live like 15 min from the bridge. I'm going to try to do the install over this weekend if weather permits. I think I should be fine.

Any feedback on the SSK?

Thanks,

Nelson

Hi,

I was wondering does anyone has a more detailed instruction to install a SSK in my 03 S Boxster. I remember reading on marking some cable with a marker or something.

Many thanks,

Nelson
