    There are a couple of new TSBs for 997 both of which are Workshop Service Actions. These are VIN specific and are required on a "next visit" basis. Since your car is under warranty I think it would be wise to take it and have them check the Tiptronic controller with their PIWIS tester for faults and correct actuation. It looks to me like the selector in "P" is not registering with the controller - could be mechanical or could be electronic.

    The relay carrier is right above the fuse box. Do a search here as Tool Pants has pics of releasing the relay carrier to add the wiring connection. The headlight switch removal is also covered here in a couple of places.

    Any of these options will require wheel hub changes also. GT3 mk1 (and perhaps others) calipers will require 5 mm spacers so the wheels won't rub the calipers. C2 and C4 Rotors (steel) Front: 318 mm Rear: 299 mm C2 and C4 Calipers 4 piston GT3 mk1 Rotors (steel) Front: 330 mm Rear: 330 mm GT3 mk1 Calipers 4 piston GT3 mk2 Rotors (steel) Front: 350 mm Rear: 330 mm GT3 mk2 Rotors (PCCB) Front: 350 mm Rear: 350 mm GT3 mk2 Calipers 6 piston TT Rotors (steel) Front: 330 mm Rear: 330 mm TT Rotors (PCCB) Front: 350 mm Rear: 350 mm TT Calipers 4 piston GT2 Rotors (steel) Front: 350 mm Rear: 350 mm GT2 Rotors (PCCB) Front: 350 mm Rear: 350 mm GT2 Calipers 4 piston

    The radio should go off within a few seconds of removing the key. Hmm... I wonder if the previous owner had a third party radio/cd player and just threw original one back in for the sale. I would wonder if the wiring harness has been spliced? I think I would get a hold of some Becker radio removal keys and have a look. Don't buy your Becker keys on eBay they are asking $10 (or more) for something Becker sells for $1.68.

    Most folks use 3M adhesive remover, a little dental floss and in rare cases a little heat from a hair dryer. Keep the heat away from the 3M adhesive remover! Where to buy 3M ADHESIVE REMOVER? I cant find it here. However I found a professional liquid adhesive remover, but I am not sure is suitable because it could damage paint. http://www.carcareonline.com/detail.asp?product_id=10164

    Coupe or Cab, front or rear windows, model year?
  10. Loren
    The sunroof does the same on my car (Ferry's Ghost). I have to re-train it about once a year. Try the same on the windows. If you had other electrical faults I'd start looking at the grounds and perhaps even an ignition switch.

    Sorry, to hear about your trouble. I've heard of a couple of these. Here is a link to one of them: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=35370

    This statement was in a dealer bulletin dated today (December 6, 2005): Satellite radio IS available on US/Canadian Cayenne models with PCM.

    I show a part number and price as follows: 955 044 900 28 Compass Module -- retail $149.62 (as of Oct 2005) If you read the TSB (Contributing members can read this online here) it appears that all you are buying is a Porsche access code (IPAS). The IPAS code is similar to the one use for keys/alarm systems so only Porsche can authorize it. The TSB 7/05 9110 PCM2.1 Compass (I No. QR1) dated 9-20-05 states that you get the code from Porsche once you submit the order. Then you use a PIWIS tester to enter the code and unlock the compass option. The TSB says 40 minutes labor but I doubt it takes more than 5 minutes.
  18. Loren
    Regular Members can see the TSB listings but only Contributing Members can read TSBs online here. The TSB is 5/04 4078 Rattling Noises From The Area Of The Front And Rear Axle with an issue date of July 6, 2005.

    :welcome: 1.) Your body style is also know as a "widebody" because of the fender flares. Only C4S, TT and GT2 have the widebody design. 3.) Porsche has never made a PSE for the (996) TT. It is likely either a stock exhaust or an aftermarket.
  20. Loren
    Got to Boxster -> DME -> Coding -> change cruise setting and press F8 to code it.
  21. Loren
    They look similar but I don't know if they will fit. There is a transmission cover now too. You can compare the parts below: 996_underlinings.pdf 997_underlinings.pdf
  22. Loren
    I think I said the opposite - I doubt the P0600 and the starting problem are related. If you lose Tip to DME communication the the system goes into a "reduced driving program". The starting problem could be a bad clutch interlock switch or bad ignition switch. I could be wrong but I doubt the two problems are related. I think it might be worth your while to find a (good) shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester and find out more about the problem before you buy $1000 plus parts. You might get lucky with the Tip controller but it could be a bad connection too.
  23. Loren
    Hmm... haven't done that for a while. I think it sticks on the side - maybe pry gently with a screwdriver.
  24. Loren
    I've seen the microswitch break (most often) and also the support. 996 613 205 00 Microswitch -- retail $21.16 (as of Oct 2005) 996 637 211 00 Support -- retail $1.16 996 552 097 01 01C is the Lock -- retail $68.34
  25. Loren
    You will need to remove the latch to get to the microswitch. A contributing member wrote that up here.
