This is a replacement radio and optional installation parts for  997 & 987 Boxster/Cayman.

Flagship Kenwood Excelon Navigation Radio Loaded with All of the Modern Day Features You Are Looking for.

This upgrade is designed specifically for your '05 through '12 Cayman, 911, or Boxster. Optional kit available with all of the parts that you will need for a complete installation. We even offer to pre-wire the radio, check for and load any software updates, and load a Porsche startup screen for that factory look.

Kenwood touch screen radios stand out from the crowd because of their glass touch screen. These screens are just like the screen on your smartphone. They are far superior to their plastic film counterparts that you will find on other units.

Full Step By Step Installation Instructions with Photos & 1(800) Tech Support 

Features of the Kit

This kit has been designed to be installed with just basic hand tools. Full  step by step instructions with detailed photos and 1(800) tech support makes the installation smooth, trouble free, and the final product predictable. This kit is for both the professional as well as "the do it yourself" type.  Some of our customers want to dig into this project themselves and are comfortable with the multiple connections (some familiarity with such things and patience is required), routing wires and cables from the cabin into the trunk area, removal of trim panels, factory radio, etc.  Some of our customers take their cars to a local shop and have part or all of the work done there.  We see many happy customers with both options.

Add the Proper Hardware to Complete the Install

Is your car Bose equipped? 
If your car is Bose equipped there will be a Bose badge on the door speaker grill.

 If there is no badge on the grill, it means that you have either the Sound Package Plus or Base sound system.

Our kits are Bose compatible when you add the optional HUR (Head Unit Retention) module. This device allows you to retain your factory equipped Bose amplifier. This dramatically simplifies the installation process and is near plug and play when the pre-wire option is selected. 

HUR Module For Bose Equipped Vehicles

Non-Bose Equipped Vehicles

If your vehicle is not "Bose Equipped" you don't have to replace your factory amplifier and you don't need an HUR either. Of course you will want to upgrade your amplifier if you want a boost in sound performance and or if you would like to add a subwoofer. 

Add a 997/987 dash kit. Available in anthracite Grey (Silver '05 - '08) or in Black ('09 - '12). We offer a premium dash kit that uses precision machined spacers to firmly mount the radio in the dash with a steel locking cage.

Near Plug & Play Wire Harness

We offer a wire harness that is specific to 997/997.2, and 987/987.2 vehicles. This harness is pinned specifically for your particular vehicle. There are many generic Euro harnesses  that claim to be a fit for these vehicles but are in fact not pinned correctly for Porsche. These universal Euro harnesses are dangerous to use. Our harness however is pinned correctly for your vehicle and comes with additional circuits as well that can not be found in the factory radio harness (car side). Save yourself a lot of frustration with our near plug & play Porsche specific radio harness. 

Optionally you can choose to have us make all of the connections from your harness to your new radio for you. This dramatically simplifies installation.
