Haven't seen question/ answer on this and am not optimistic, but ...

Dashboard was changed for 2003 so it had a glovebox, but the central radio mounting and the switch horseshoe was changed, too. Basically the cup holder system was changed so it didn't take up an entire din 1 slot, and it coexists with two such compartments.

Can't really tell how this was accomplished ... are the central vents smaller?

But pertinent question is is the new configuration an easy retrofit to older Boxsters? Sure would be handy when contemplating a double din radio installation if could still have cup holders.

I've installed double din sound systems in both dash types, but never tried a swap of the central horseshoe/vents.  You may have to try it and let us know.  You could probably pick up a used newer version online.  Removing the dins is pretty straight forward.
