I'm not quite clear about what you have got. If you have a CDR23 with Bose (MY03-04), then it will be a MOST system, and you'll have trouble connecting an AVIC or Alpine system. If you have a MY02, then you should have no problem - it should be more or less plug-and-play, as the analog Bose has ISO DIN connectors which plug into the back of the existing radio.
If you have MOST, then you could always bypass the amp completely and connect direct to the speakers, or go the whole hog and fit a new amp. Do a search for a post by member "pwafer" (Paul Wafer) who fitted a fantastic Alpine system to his 2003 car.
edit: There are quite a few posts on Renntech.org by people who have fitted other systems, so it might be worth doing a search there.

Remember that at this stage I dont have one - I have lined up one car that is looking like the one that I will purchase. This car is a 2002 996 Turbo that was built IIRC June 02. This has the CD player in it, and the bose upgraded sound system which I believe to be the analogue one from previous posts (ie not the MOST system). I know that the Bose uses an amp that is located in the front luggage compartment.
Good to know that it is easy to fit though - gives me some hope. I am really impressed with it.

Hi Richard
Having now placed the deposit on the car that I have chosen, I can be a little more specific. The car I have bought is equipped with the CDR23 system with BOSE, and is a Model Year, 2002 (specifically Jul 02).
I am hoping in vain that the head unit is plugged to the amp via RCA leads, which will allow direct connectivity to the Pioneer units?
