Deposit paid - Collect tomorrow. Very excited, more details once the keys are in hand 😁

…. Off to view a car tomorrow first thing - fingers crossed 😉

Thank you everyone - some really good spotting on the spec changes!  I was also slightly confused by the leather on the console but had assumed was bad photography!

In general it is about the right spec for me - not so bothered about Chrono (which I had on my 718 but didn’t really use it) nor PASM which I have on my 987 and which is truly awful on UK roads when in ‘sport’ setting!!

in terms of the one I queried, think it might have been sold as no longer on the dealers website.

will keep looking - if anyone sees something must haves are:

- S

- PSE

- Bose

- heated seats (and really want heated steering wheel, but not sure even an option as never seen one listed!)

- PDLS lights 

thanks again for all the comment 

Having owned my 987 (non S) for nearly 2 years, and loving it, thinking of flipping it for a 981 S.

One has appeared which has an unusual spec and wondered if anyone on the forum knew any of its history.

It is black, very common! ( 2014 MY) … it however has GTS bumpers front and rear, plus a duck tail rear spoiler.  At this stage I don’t know if these are OEM or aftermarket. I have a VIN check for options in process but assume, whilst the bumpers may have been a factory option (it certainly was for my 718), the spoiler has been added later.

Any insights welcome….

have you tried using the blue (accessory wire) to power the Bose adaptor?

That was the issue - now sorted!  Well

The site i got it from is no longer trading. Make sure you get one with a stencil included. It makes alignment and spacing so much easier

I’ve got one coming via AliExpress. I bought a Boxster badge from them and the quality looks pretty good, albeit i hadn’t realised it was the smaller font type from the 981 - my bad as I hadn’t realised they were smaller when ordering.  PM me if you are interested 

Think I might have tracked down the answer - the Connect2 loom has an amp switch cable which needs connecting to a switch cable on the head unit wiring (the pioneer wiring isn’t very clear, but is  has a loose spur cable connected to the antenna power cable) - will try in the morning, but makes sense

Apologies for dredging an old thread but looking for some guidance on fitting a new pioneer SPH DA130,DAB head unit to a Bose system. I have the Connects2 ‘plug and play’ wiring harness with the Bose adaptor but I can’t get sound out of it!  The wiring diagrams on both the pioneer and connects 2 are a bit sketchy but most of the plugs can only go in one place.  
 

I think issue is that the Bose amp isn’t be getting power (or at least not being switched on) - the fibre optic isn’t showing light when the head unit Is on - that said, the wiring diagram aren’t showing a separate switch wire?  
 

heLp!
