    That could be a real challenge. The 997 NAV and CDC-4 communicate with fiber optic cables (MOST network). Did you salvage those too? On the DVD Player A1 is ground and A2 is power. You will need the fiber optic cables off B1 and B2 also. On the CDC-4 A2 is ground and A1 is power. B! and B2 are fiber optic again. With that said I have no idea if they will function onside of the car over the network or if they still need at least one network controller. Let us know how you make out...

    The Durametric Tool does some special things with Porsches that factory tools costing thousands of dollars can do. So I don't thing you can compare that to a more generic ISO tool. If you need the features of the Durametric software then you might want to consider it plus the Car Code OBD-2 Vehicle Explorer Scan Tool that I reviewed here.

    Sorry, guys the 996 wiring is not even close to a 997. 997 series cars have easily 10 times more CAN (network) and CAN controllers - that all interact. Apples and Oranges really.

    A few pics from yesterdays Work Cars Day... Can this be a Boxster cluster? (project 1) Done a few of these too... Once again proof of how easy these cars are to work on... Back to that cluster... (installing a 996 cluster in a Boxster) Adding one wire from the cluster to the engine compartment oil pressure sending unit Where the new (996) sending unit goes... Installed and wires connected MY2001 Boxster with a fully functional 996 cluster and a B&M short shifter. Special thanks to Anne (she did most of the work - including providing lunch) and Rich (who took most of the pics). Anne is pretty good at this stuff I think she could give Eileen in the Bay Area a good contest :lol:

    Mike your list is out of date. The latest Approved Oils List is dated April 11, 2007.

    Try 6781 or 6779

    You can download your radio owners manual here.
  8. Loren
    It was an option. Option M476 - Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
  9. Loren
    You need to give us your radio serial number not your car's VIN. If you read through some of the posts here (in this thread) you see how to get your serial number to display. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=74043

    It appears that all of that communication now resides on the CAN bus - so nothing is on pin 9 of 997's. The only signal that looks close to me is one called "Engine Speed Sensor" on C45 of the DME.

    Please the thread here.

    M9670-643 with X50 is a 340 KW (or about 462 HP).

    Back on topic please - this thread is for those that own one of these tools & are willing to help folks.

    Yes, together. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=83062 Thanks Loren. Now I know that my Lo speed fans are not working. At one point only the passenger Lo speed fan came on at the lower temp. And "our famous Tooner"(Sorry I have the word Looser on my mind) tried to convince me that Only the passenger Lo speed fan comes on at the low temp setpoint!! But he even somehow managed to disable the Pass Side Lo speed fan on one of my many drop-offs at his shop after his allegation that the "job was complete". Thank you again. The fans are controlled by the DME which is getting (shared) information from the cluster. This is why Todd said it was important to get all the pieces that work together. There is a lot of communication on the CAN bus on the MY02 and newer cars that just was not there in the MY01 and older cars.

    Hmm... I just went through the 9 page list of Porsche approved oils (dated April 11, 2007) and Amsoil is not there.
  19. Loren
    It would be helpful if you would state the model and year of car... (it does vary by year)

    I would think no more than 1 hour of labor - it should only take a few minutes.

    :thumbup:

    Hmm... without the power assist to the steering that may be normal. There is some resistance and noise when you move the steering gears without the fluid pressure.

    LOL - 1 to 1 conversion schematics? Those don't exist unless you or Todd whats to create them. You need a service manual with schematics. Please read through Todd's posts (in other threads) to see where he got the pin tools. Replacing a car harness is a 2 day job - even for someone that is familiar with it. I don't recommend it.
