What is "PIA"?
I have non bose system. Do you have instruction for that too? THX

My friend give me a new AMP from his boxter(he got aftermarket)
Are they the same AMP? Is it a easy DIY swap?
I just hate to go to the dealer 3rd or 4th time.

To get to it is a PIA so make sure before you try that this is at fault as best you can. I can give you the panel removal instructions if needed

I pulled the AMP out and everything looks alright to naked eyes.
I opened up the AMP cover and didn't find anything loose.

Should I swap to the Boxster AMP? They look identical to me???

have never tried a boxster amp. May want to look in P.E.T. to see if they are the same. Takes less then 5 minutes to pull out and no programing is needed!
