    The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect March 2006 pricing for both the US and Canada. We will continue to try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available. The April update should be here in the first couple of weeks of April. For March 2006 the price lists support - US: 202,715 parts Canada: 202,712 parts Choose your price list from the drop down menu

    The PSE defaults to always open (loud). The DIY is here.

    I have made some changes to the backend and the database structure. Previously you could only do a search for a minimum of 4 characters - which left out all of the Porsche abbreviations (i.e. PSE, PCM, PSM, CDR, etc.). Well, you can now do a full text search for a minimum of 3 characters. So, you can now search for PSE, PCM, PSM, CDR etc., etc. Of course you will want to add more keywords that just the 3 characters or you will get way too many results. Enjoy... :D

    Could be it hasn't made into the model or Tequipment list yet. You might try calling or emailing Sunset Imports.

    Yes, the fuse box covers for 987 and 997 are the same. The (February 2006) parts list only shows the fuse box cover in satin black. Did the order guide offer it in colors?

    I can tell you that the Durametric Software works fine with everything I have tried it on so far. That includes DME 5.2.2 and DME 7.2. I have not yet tested it on a DME 7.8. DME 7.8 is the most complex so I am waiting until I can try it on a one before I finish writing the review. If your car has either of the early DME's then it will work fine. If you are looking for an inexpensive code readout and fault resetting tool - then this is the tool I would recommend. At $197 this tool is much less than the $3600 I paid for a used PST2 (that needed a new battery and hard drive - LOL).

    Download the Becker Traffic Pro Installation TSB located here. It has all the instructions for the reverse wire and grounds.

    MY00 US/Canada Boxster's have egas (E-Accelerator).
  11. Loren
    You will need your VIN and proof of ownership. Worst case they will have to remove the PCM and get the serial number to look it up. Most dealers will change for this or give one lookup free.
  12. Loren
    Any of the 3.6 liter PSE's will work on any 3.4 - but not the other way around. The latest PSE (kit) part number I have is: 000.044.200.21 PSE (for MY99-04) -- MSRP $2090.77 (as of Feb 2006). I'm sure someone like Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can get you a better price than that. The dash switch is NOT included in this kit and must be ordered separately.

    997.553.261.02.V04 Laquered frame in galvano silver (for the Boxster S) -- MSRP $149.76 (as of Feb 2006)
  14. Loren
    These are in the 996 section but the Boxster is the same... Oil Change Brake/Clutch Fluid Change and Bleeding Instructions

    The chirp means an alarm zone is open. The most common causes are the center console lid not closed (or microswitch broken), the front (or rear) trunk microswitch, or the alarm connection on the radio. If the radio was replaced with an aftermarket then they put the original back in - it could be they did not reconnect the alarm wire. I helped a guy here with a 996 that had a similar problem and it was the alarm wire on the radio. My PST2 pinpointed it -- as it was the only alarm fault. If you can find an independent shop with a PST2 they can hook it up and tell you exactly which zone (or zones) are causing the "open" fault.
  16. Loren
    Is it a Porsche radio (if so which model) or aftermarket?
  17. Loren
    Any beeps from the alarm when arming?
  18. Loren
    What kind of repair? In most cases the dealer would have to cover the cost or Porsche does -- or you do. In a few cases the dealer will pay parts and you pay labor. If you have a good relationship with your dealer and the car has some history with them - then you have a chance. (IMHO)
  19. Loren
    We have the TSB here. Contributing Members can view the TSB online here. It has all the details...
  20. Loren
    Email Gert... I think he will tell you the part number for what he sells.
  21. Loren
    Did you buy the retrofit kit - with the wiring pins and harness? There are 11 pages of instructions in a TSB for installing the CDC-4 including two and half pages on hooking up the wiring. You need to tap into the fuse carrier.
  22. Loren
    Make sure you don't have an optional knob with a set screw. If so remove the set screw.
  23. Loren
    B&M Instructions say: Using Channel Locks - twist collar 90° clockwise.

    Switch ignition off and remove ignition key. 1. Unclip switch cover from below using a plastic spatula and disconnect electrical plug connections. 2. Insert a hexagon-socket wrench sideways into the screw connection of the PCM detent hooks. 3. Close the detents (2 each side) with the hexagon-socket wrench A and carefully pull out the PCM. 4. For re-installation, open the detents with the hexagon-socket wrench B. Note: - The number of plug connections will vary, depending on the I No. (CD changer, Bose, amplifier). - The variant without additional audio components (external Most control units) has a jumper (output to input) connected to the optical waveguide plug. 5. Unlock and pull off antenna plugs A, E, F. 6. Unlock and disconnect the electrical plug connections in the order C, B, D.

    Might I ask why you want to remove it?
