Project 88: from the 101 Projects for your Porsche Boxster book

Here is a detailed how-to video on installing a double din head unit with Apple Car Play into my 1998 Porsche Boxster.

There are several long (boring) parts showing my trying to do/fit things. Some I fast forward, some I leave, feel free to skip. I left them purposefully to give an idea of how long they take or the difficulty. There are frustrating parts, but stick with it and it’s rewarding at the end!

Could only endure the first 34 minutes. At least we know BMW has a performance driving school.
Sadly I'll never get those 34 minutes back.

How does the sirius receiver work? Did you need to install an antenna for the Sirius sxv300 too?

Do you have a link to the Pioneer stereo wiring harness and the fitting kit

I have a Porsche Boxter 986 – 2004 model. The stereo I'm fitting is Pioneer SPH-DA230DAB. Will I need to do the same install as you?

Francois Ducharme says:

Nice job, does this set up bypass the amplifier in the front? Or do you need to do anything with the amplifier disconnected or anything like that? Thanks

PLAN Fazz says:

Hello at 38:38, what did you do with that factory alarm? Did you connect it back later?

Kevin Sheehan says:

I think I would have spent the $6 for the radio removal tool. I would have had my sledge hammer out after the first 15 nimutes

How has the mic placement worked out? I’m trying to figure out the best place for mine. I’ve read that having the mic at the top of the “A” pillar seems to give the best audio out…but I really like the stealthy placement of the mic you’ve done.
