    To add to what Todd I think you only get the dot matrix display if the OBC is on. From the MY03 Boxster Owner's Manual
  2. Loren
    Yes, I agree with RFM - you are bypassing the safety stop. In an accident you could shear off the seat bolt. I think I would want some kind of stop there.

    I don't have a Tip but it looks like it is held in place with the 4 clips just like the 6 speed boot. The service manual says nothing - so my guess would be that you just pull straight up like the 6 speed boot. Item 30 in the diagram.
  4. Loren
    It was an option in MY04.
  5. Loren
    Really... that is so unlike Porsche. Don't the Cayenne's have a custom wire harness?
  6. Loren
    There is not gasket on the cam cover - just a bead of sealant. It has been discussed here before. It is best to borrow or make a "cam holder" but not essential.
  7. Loren
    The heated steering wheels were options - just like the wood steering wheel so I doubt the wiring or controls are there.

    :thumbup: Great job! Many folks were likely afraid of the 4WD -- until they read this. Thanks.
  9. Loren
    Old is a relative word - if you bought it new today (or had it replaced under warranty) you would get 955.642.204.11. There is likely very little difference.
  10. Loren
    See the A and B dimensions? and D is the flat at the bottom of the ones. That sets them at the proper angle and distance.
  11. Loren
    Where are you located? I will do it for free if you are local. Hey Loren, if I make the road trip to your neck of the woods, would you extend the offer to me? Sure :D
  12. Loren
    If you want a plastic one instead of metal (yes, it seems everyone has raised the price on these) then just find one with 14 flutes and 74 mm diameter.

    The 997Turbo rear tires are spec'ed as 305/30 ZR 19 according to the Porsche TSB. This is the same for the 997 C4S.
  14. Loren
    I have not seen a Traffic Pro installation TSB from Porsche for a 993. This is one for the 996, and 986. Here is a diagram of the Traffic Pro wiring connections - perhaps this will help.
  15. Loren
    Please have some patience... Just the Tiptronic portion or the whole center console?
  16. Loren
    Try 8825 or 8823
  17. Loren
    Try 7752 or 7750 Please Read - Read - Read -- I have covered this many times in previous posts here.

    I have no idea if this will work on the older radios like this. But here goes... Try 4985 or 4983 Sorry to ask, but how do you enter 9 and 8. The radio only has 1 through 6 with no second function that I can see. Thanks. Sorry, I don't know that radio well enough to tell you.

    How embarrassing. Of course it's Polar Silver (I know the difference...). The paint code is L 92M PT, therefore water based. I assume water based paint is the more current system (environmental reasons). Is this water based paint clear coated? Any advice on taping the windshield before re-install? Thanks. Yes, the water based paint was required in various countries (including the US) a few years ago. So that is what most shops have now. On a 993 there is an upper and lower frame (gasket) that the windshield sits in. Porsche has a sealer adhesive that is used to bond the two to the body. Chances are this needs to be re-done by a good glass shop. Curing time on the adhesive is 3 hours - so you should not plan to drive the car for the almost half of a day. On some 996's Porsche has a rope bead that installers are allowed to use to help get a tight seal and guard against squeaks and rattles. The might help some too - so I would ask the shop about that too. BTW... there is no reason they can't re-use your old windshield as long as it is not damaged.

    Are you sure it is Arctic Silver and not Polar Silver? Do you have the paint code? For MY95 993 Polar Silver (metallic) was available in both conventional (oil based) and water based paint. The paint code will tell which your car is. 92E = Polar Silver (metallic) (conventional paint) 92M = Polar Silver (metallic) (water based paint)

    :welcome: Check the fuses - there is one on the main fuse panel B2 (second row from the top - second fuse in from the left. The other fuse is on the back of the radio - and the radio will need to be removed to check/replace that fuse. You will need radio removal keys to remove the radio - most sound shops have these.
  23. Loren
    Only difference that I can think of is the diagram layout of the components section since the (emissions) parts sit in different locations on the Boxster.
  24. Loren
    Try 7070 or 7068 Read the thread here.... there are other suggestions...
  25. Loren
    955.642.204.10 is PCM 2.1 Control Unit -- it has now been replaced with 955.642.204.11 What about the DVD Navigation Drive and rest of the installation hardware?
