  1. Hi MRboxhead here is a link to some photos post a few years back. there are three pages showing how to change the cayman vents to the boxster . when you purchase the kit just have a body shop match the paint of your car. I had them do that with mine. as far as were to get the kit there must be someone in the UK carrying the kit. Mystery of the 987 Side Vent Removal - RennTech.org Forums good luck
  2. Hi everyone, I have a 2007 boxster. I was removing my PCM to install my Dension gateway 500 and ended up scratching the silver face plate on the lower switch panel. Is there a touch up paint for this or does the face plate for the lower switches have to be changed. If there is a touch up paint were can I find it and if not were can I get a face plate replacement. By the way the Dension Gateway works excellent I am awaiting the BTA 1500 bluetooth for hands free. secuuda
  3. Hi do the manuals include pictures of the wiring harneses of the back of the pcm. secuuda
  4. Hi who is the porsche librarian and how can I contact him as I would like a work manual for my 2007 Boxster. regards secuuda
  5. Thanks bert987 I don't Have the Cd changer sitting on the dvd navigation drive. I gues just a single dvd player unit with the pcm and stereo unit. Can I loop the most directly with the dvd navigation drive in the truck or do I go directly in to the back of pcm and then loop to the dvd nav. unit. I have noticed in the intallation guide for both of thoses units they don't show the dvd nav. drive just cd changers. secuuda
  6. Hi Friends, I have been contemplating adding a bluetooth and Ipod adapter for my 2007 Boxster with pcm. The telephone module is to outrageously priced at 1500. so I have researched Nave TV Tooki, Dension gateway 500, and Mobridge all about the same price give or take a few dollars. So out of all three which product has the least amount of problems and works the best with my pcm. I have looked at the installation on all three but not sure of the route the MOST cable takes. I have the pcm cd player for the 2.1 software in the front trunk. On the installation does the Most hook up to the cd player in the front truck for my pcm as well or bypass the unit and go directly to the main PCM and stereo player. Warren
  7. Hi I installed a new MTX rfl 200 comes on when you turn on the radio with low voltage this is the only amp to do that. place in the front trunk with velcro sticks excellent, sits on top of the cover for the tools and such near the bottom below the car amp. I will send you a picture if you would like. secuuda
  8. Hi Friends, Has any one removed the roll bar from a 2005 and up on the Boxster. I am looking for some pictures and instruction to remove the roll bar and the leather parts without damaging them. I am going to have my 2007 roll bar painted the exterior color hope some one can help with this project. regards secuuda
  9. Thanks Berty987 , I do have the sound package plus so I guess I will stick with that. Porsche never makes it easy do they. secuuda
  10. Hello every one I have the sound package seven speaker sound system in my 2007 with the PCM and have added the rear speakers, does any one know what has to be done to upgrade to the Bose surround sound system. Is it merely adding the Bose amplifier to the system or what else has to be done. Is the radio the same as the sound package or a diffent radio all togther. If any one has done the change over I would like to hear from them. Secuuda
  11. Hi everyone just got back and noticed the topic. Well I purchased my speakers from Euro Motorspeed as well and that is my 07 boxster on ebay. it was pretty easy to install only took me a about 2hrs after I assembled the speakers into the storage unit. the amp in your picture is exactly like mine but I also have PCM, what I did was get some 4 wire for that type of car install from one of the stereo installers for about 10. bucks and ran it through the fire wall on the driver side were there is a rubber gromet and made a small hole and ran the wire through and sealed it up. there are actually a few rubber gromets through out the fire wall. I added the MTX rfl amp and hooked the wires to the amp which I placed inside the trunk in front of the excisting amp with velcro works great and let the stereo installer do the final hook up to the door speakers. He hooked into the wiring out of the large plug on the main amp you see in your picture. and it was done. I hope that helps if you have any questions give me a reply and I will be more than happy to help you through install. By the way the MTX RFL 200 cost 139. it comes on only when the radio is turned on and shuts down automatically when you turn off the radio. Warren
  12. I would like to know if there is a part # for the white gauge face for the my 2007 987 Boxster tiptronic s and where I might be able to purchase the set new or used. I have black faces now but want to change them. secuuda
  13. Hi I have install the speaker system from Euro Motorspeed, "Great people to do business with " on my 2007 Boxster and it does not hamper the storage box and it does not go through or connect to the MOST on the amp. you have to use a small amp for powering the rear speakers I used an MTX amp that switches on automatically when I turn on the stereo this amp is the only amp that does that. it uses low power. The wireing from the amp connects to the wireing going to the speakers in the doors and thats it that all you do. It take a couple of hrs to install the speakers in the storage box the amp and run the wireing. when I was done, I took it to one of the stereo installation guy and it cost me $60. dollars for them to do the final connections to the wireing, well worth the money. All in all in final cost when finished about $315. total. great sound and well worth it. secuuda
  14. I saw those on Ebay as well. He had them on for $1299. from what I can tell he sold 1 set of 8. I made him an offer of $500 and he counter offered at $849. It does't look like he has sold to many sets and now he has them at $2199. I think he is trying to play that old game of higher price will sell. I have a 2007 Boxster and according to the seller they will fit. I must say they do intrigue me ,but not at that price, even at $1299. I would take a chance at $500 as these wheels are not proven at this time and no one as ever heard of them. secuuda
  15. Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has seen or heard of a Cayman spoiler for the 987 Boxster yet. I did hear that Zeintec was going to produce a cayman spoiler for the newer Boxster 2005 + but have not seen it as yet. Also Farnbracher Loles was going to produce a carbon fiber one similar to the one they produce for the Cayman, but the company that was to manufacture them scoffed off with the cash and no product. Does Any buddy know of any other company that is or will be producing one. I dont want to go through the whole ordeal of changing the rear bumper and repainting and all that so I am hoping there is another company that has finally come up with a kit. Its been like three years now and there should be some one out there any one.. regards secuuda
  16. I actually took the picture from my steps in front of my home so there was no reflection. I hope this has been helpfull to who ever wants to upgrade without spending a fortune. By the way I did most of the installation of the amp, wiring,and speaker install, at the end I had a proffesional do the final hook up and it cost me $59. Anyone wanting more information on how I did the install of the amp and such let me know and I would be more than happy to share. secuuda
  17. Hi Everyone I have completed the speaker addition to my 2007 useing the 986 rear speaker kit which cost me $118. on ebay and $125. for a mtx rfl 202 amplifier from https://www.12v-electronics.com/catalog/acc...hp?order_id=506 and it works excellent. finally sound all around. the door speakers connected up to the amp and it turns on automatically when the radio or stereo is tunrned on. the one thing that was a god sent was I had the older storage unit that came with my car so that was a plus and easy install on the speakers while still retaining my rear storage compartment. So any one wanting more sound from the standard 7 speaker sound system this is the way to go. You will see in the picture above the amp in the front trunk which I velcroed on so its removable. Also there was no drilling for the wireing as it ran through the rubber gromets in the front frame between the trunk and battery compartment. I also change my side intake to the Cayman style and even my wife likes them better. I do have a couple of things left to do but that is in the future.
  18. Does anyone have the color code or a wiring diagram for the door speakers. I am hoping not to have to remove the door panel as I think this would be a large job. I want to connect the amplifier to the speaker wire to run a set of rear speakers. from what I have been told this is the only way to wire in for the 2007 Boxster
  19. Hi has anyone got pictures on how to remove the door speakers on the 987 boxster and what is involved. Secuuda
  20. Has anyone have answers on which is the best gas company to use for better gas mileage in Canada. I have been using Husky gas with Ethenol 94 octaine since I imported my Boxster for the last month and My gas mileage seems to be dropping and thats not city driving as I am in a rural area and lots of hwy driving. Has any one else had this problem. what about Chevron with techron. secuuda Warren My 07 Boxster carmona red 12k miles
  21. I am hoping they will sound great but I won't no for at least 2 weeks as that is when I will have it all together. If the are not as good. I will replace just the speaker drivers with better quality speakers for a few bucks more. secuuda
  22. I have talked with a couple of car shops and have come up with adding the rear speaker kit from the 986 for $129. being that I already have the storage box and also adding a MTX RFL202 amp. at $169.00 they will wire from the bass door speakers and then to the amp and everything will work this way and not have problems with the main amp as theses rear speakers will stand alone and have there own ajustments. I hope this will help for anyone else wanting to add the rear speakers. It will end up costing about $298. not including the labour by the car shop. ther are other way to got but at a much at a larger expense. To me this is an easy fix as Porsche has not done anything as yet in a aftermarket product to fix this problem without going to a bose system. Thanks Loren for your pictures of the storage boxes. Secuuda
  23. this is what my storage box looks like, identical to this one and the speakers are the 986 kit so they look like it would fit into my box, so what about the connections. Can they be changed to work with my 2007.
  24. My storage box is like the 986 as it has a couple of sliding doors in the front and the speaker fit double speakers on each side. I will try to download a picture.
