The radio in our Porsche Boxster does not work. Sometimes, if the headlights are on and the defroster is on full the radio will work....what's the problem?

if you are lucky it is written on the radio, in the service handbook or on the paper sticker on the underneath of the hood. It may also have been input into the ECUs main, an ECU reader may give you this.Falling that there are companies online who claim to decode it for you from the radio s no. I have had varying success, sometimes they work sometimes not. The Porsche dealer may be able to tell you if it is the O/E radio but he may charge for the service.

It is known for ignition switches to fail. Sometimes they won't turn, other times they leave the starter engaged and sometimes the radio, A/C or wipers won't work. You may crank the car to start sometimes and the key does not spring back from crank to run. Check this first. Good luck....

The dealership it has been serviced at can usually refer you to an advisor who can give you the code for your radio. Our son had the same problem
