Default CDR23 car stereo upgrade - Boxster 2004

I have a boxster 2004 base with factory amp (not sure if it is BOSE system). I have door speakers too (no BOSE logo). I want to replace my CDR23 with a single DIN android 7.1 from pumkin. However, after purchasing the unit, I realized I have fiber optic cable (after pulling out unit) and it doesn't fit with the unit I got. So I purchased metra 70-1787 which will ship in couple of days. Do I need to get a Optical Fiber Head Unit Replacement decoder as well?

If so I was looking at this -
Amazon Amazon

Can anyone tell me if this will work? Also, am I missing anything for this upgrade? I want to do this without replacing the AMP or wiring speakers directly.

Head unit :

Metra 70-1787 :

Thanks for your time.

Take a look in the 955 Cayenne forum. There is a lot of discussion about the MOST stereo systems in there.
