I put the same adapter on my 99 boxster. Due to the security feature on the radio the Bluetooth adapter is always powered on which caused them to last only about 6 months. I put a switch leg on the red wire on the adapter harness which powers down the Bluetooth adapter. Should last a lot longer.

Thank you for this video !

You’re welcome thank you so much for watching.

Great video! Thanks for explaining this, I bought the same adapter and looking forward to adding this capability to my 996. One questions is this bluethoot adapter always on? Even when the ignition is off? I am just wary that this could pose a battery draw when the car is switched off.

I’ve never had a problem with a draw and the unit is powered through the factory radio so it would not receive power if the radio was powered down. I confirmed this by checking for Bluetooth signal with the car off and there is no signal. Thanks for watching.

@@branchoffice1327 Good video, however I can confirm that the bluetooth can still be connected, even with the radio off. Unsure as to how much battery draw there is?

Great video. Thanks! My question is, does this work as a hands-free to use the phone? Do I need to add a microphone? I have a 1999 Boxster. Thanks!

I honestly can’t remember. This one is still in winter storage but should be coming home in the next week or so. I’ll get back to you.

Far too complicated. $10 will buy you a similar device plugging into the cigarette lighter outlet. It will stream audio directly to the Becker radio, in good audio quality. It can be used for handsfree phone too.

I have been watching Amazon and this has been out of stock for awhile. There are similar ones with the same install available.
