Aftermarket PCM please HELP

[Slagarde]

Hello from France to everybody

1st of all "Sorry for my poor english"

i am a new owner of a lovely 2005 Boxster S 3.2 (280hp) with many optionnal equipments.

I would like to install a aftermarket multimedia navigation system ( I hesitate between a Pioneer Avic F20 BT and a Kenwood DNX 9260 BT)

But my main problem is that I have a Bose amp with 3*2, a central and a sub. No Porsche agent or tech want to remove my PCM 2.1 dvd to put the new navigation unit because of the MOST system(optical fiber).

Can someone help me ? Is there a change system existing to "avoid" this problem ?

If someone could help me that would be great because I am a little disappointed

Thank you !

Sébastien

Hi Sebastien,

I suggest you look on www.boxa.net under the incar electronics section or www.planet-9.com under the audio or featured articles. Connecting the BOSE amp to any unit other than the original PCM is very difficult and very expensive as there is only one company that offers a kit and it talkes a long time to install. It is easier to remove the amplifier and speakers as well as the PCM unit and fit a complete new system. There are many articles on both the above forums that show how this can be done.
