Default Is my Cayman stereo fiber optic?

I'm hoping someone can tell from the photo if my 2006 Cayman S with premium Bose system and NO Navigation is fiber optic.

It does not appear to be, based purely on the braided wiring.....fibre optic does not take well to that treatment.

What year is your car? build date will help the experts on this forum nail it down.

Alternatively, can anyone post a photo of their amp if they know they have a fiber optic setup so I can compare? Thanks.

I can check based off of your VIN number, PM me if you need help. If you have BOSE or sound package, I believe the sound is sent to the amp in standard wires, then the sound is sent out of the amp in standard wires. Usually the optic cables are a separate plug with two orange wires, but looks like you might not have that with your setup.

Your car will still have a fiber optic network though, the plug is located by your brake master cylinder. If you add a CD changer, XM, or navigation, you use that connection.

Default Fiber Optic Connections on 2014 Bpxster?

I have a 2014 Boxster S with a non nav CDR-31 radio head that I would like to upgrade to an Android head. Does my car have a fiber optic system that complicates that modification?
