  1. Have a look at Boxster TSB 3/04 Telephone Module (Option I No. 666) (dated 4-1-04). It will show you how to check and which optical wave guide to order. As well it has a complete parts breakdown for that option. 996 642 207 01 has been replaced by 996 642 207 02 but the 01 version should still work on PCM2.0.
  2. Carnewal is for real. He sells genuine Porsche parts - his quaility and service is one of the best I've seen.
  3. A - 955 347 980 00 xxx Carbon Steering Wheel (needs your interior color code at the end of part number) -- $1190.56 (retail) B - 955 424 980 00 Carbon Shift Knob -- $302.53 (retail) C - 955 044 800 83 Handle package wood/carbon -- $1075.53 (retail) D, E, F - there is a package kit that the part number depends on whether you have heated seats (I4A3, I4A4) or not. -- $2151.41 (retail) For a source try the link at the top of the page "Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost". Sunset Imports will sell those items at cost plus 15% shipping and handling.
  4. Satellite radio?
  5. I'm sure John is working on it. Probably doing an upgrade. Looks like it is back up now.
  6. Sorry, I just saw your reply. That bolt is a metric triple square - 8mm I think. I don't have a set of these -- but I guess I need them. Here is a link to an SK set. SK are very good tools and usually expensive so you might be able to find them cheaper somewhere else. http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/sk19704.html
  7. A MY03 has a CDR-23 radio and no code is needed as it is matched to the car VIN. On a MY99 (actually MY02 and older) the CR-210, CDR-210 and CR-220 and CDR-220 all require a 4 digit code be entered as a security precaution.
  8. The car should not be disabled. If the battery dies and the car is locked you will need to unlock it manually with a key. The radio code will need to be reset - it is a 4 digit code that is usually in your manuals, docs, etc. If you do not have the code a dealer can look it up for you with your VIN number and proof of ownership. Some dealers as well as Becker (radio manufacturer) now charge for this service so don't be surprised with they want you pay. The DME (engine computer) will also be reset so the car may run a little rough when you first start it up. It will "re-learn" it's idle and driveability setpoints during the next few startup and driving sequences.
  9. Do you mean like this? Try Carnewal.com
  10. The visor has no wires that go to it - all electrical contact is made through the metal clips when it is seated (see pic). It is going to be tough if your visors don't have the electrical contacts built into the visor clip.
  11. Scouser has updated the VIN Decoder to now include the 987. The VIN Decoder is here. Many thanks to Scouser for his work and updates to this fine tool! :clapping:
  12. A scan tool can't pull codes that are not there anymore. You would need to get a recording tool that catches all codes and then later you dump the codes into a computer. I think Autozone sells one but I can't remember the brand name - maybe Datalogger or something like that.
  13. Well, some options could have been added after the car was delivered. For instance my car was delivered without Litronics or a CD Changer - I added both (factory parts). The Certificate of Authenticity is good and likely worth the money if you want to prove what was originally delivered with the car. I have one for my car. If you can look at your transmission while it is on a lift sometime try and find the part number. A LSD transmission has a part number like 996 300 020 xx. A normal transmission (from MY99) would be 996 300 010 xx. P72? P72 hasn't been used since the early nineties (as I recall). There is an X72 which is a walnut and aluminum shift knob. X369? how about M369 comfort seats?
  14. We have added the MY04 Cayenne, MY03 GT2 and MY03 TT Owners Manuals. They are available to download here.
  15. If the curve matches the bumper (which I think it will). It's just soft plastic - I have a spare standard aerokit one in the garage and it's amazing how much money they want for bent piece of plastic. :lol:
  16. Thanks! The rivets are the same size - the number of them is the same. So it's just whether the holes line up or not.
  17. Yes it can be retrofit. The package you buy for retrofit will depend on what (MOST) options are already on the car (i.e. CDR23, CD Changer, Amp, BOSE). There is a 10 page TSB with installation instructions and it estimates about 3 hours of work. You will also need to have a shop or dealer turn on and configure the PCM2.1 option with a Porsche PIWIS tester after the install.
  18. I think so. Someone was going to do that and report back here... but I never heard. Perhaps now you can... ;)
  19. If you have PASM then changing springs would also likely include changing the PASM programming. The PASM chassis is already 0.40 inches lower and programming adjusts the shock stiffness based on Normal or Sport setting. If you have the Sport Chrono package it will adjust the accelerator response, high speed cut off, PSM and PASM. All the triggering levels for PSM and PASM are lowered for optimum response to steering and handling changes. The 997 RoW springs are different than the US so that might be a good place to start. Perhaps with 997 RoW springs and a changing a PASM setting with a PIWIS tester??
  20. I would try a 996 505 986 92 Spoiler Lip as used on the mk2 GT3 it looks pretty much the same as the Cup car spoiler which is 996 505 986 91. Anything that ends in 91 usualy must be ordered through Porsche MotorSports (and costs 5X). You will also need 999 507 557 40 Plastic rivets to hold it on place (11 of them). This is the spoiler on a Cup car - I think it looks a lot like the mk2 spoiler. It might wrap around the side a little more than the mk2 spoiler.
  21. No bluetooth. Just the prep kit inlcuding: Parts List (parts included in installation kit) Part Number Qty. Description 955 647 106 00 1 x Telephone antenna (Item A) 955 642 310 00 1 x Hands-free microphone with lead (Item B ) 955 647 206 00 1 x Antenna lead, rear spoiler (Item C) 955 612 952 00 1 x Grommet for roof rail (Item D) 955 612 951 00 1 x Grommet for rear spoiler (Item E) 999 607 004 00 2 x Fuse; 5 amps (Item F) N 908 401 02 1 x Screw M4 x 14 (Item G) 999 650 356 12 2 x Pin for cross section 0.52 (Item H) 999 650 398 12 1 x Cable lug, A6-1 - DIN 46225 – (ring eyelet) (Item K) 955 647 212 00 1 x Interior lead for antenna (Item M) 955 612 950 00 1 x Electric wiring harness (Item N) 955 552 715 00 1 x Holder including mounting (Item O)
  22. We would need the wheel width and offset to tell you.
  23. Even though the part numbers are 997 numbers the parts diagram looks just like the 996. So the answer based on that would be no adjustment for the brake pedal. The clutch pedal should have a very small amount of adjustment by using the the threaded rod on the clutch master cylinder.
  24. For what it's worth, on my XP Home laptop I had to rename the 'porsche.scr' file 'ssporsche.scr' for it to show up in the list of screen savers for me to choose from. This may save someone else some time if it happens to not show up in the list. Dwayne Give me a few minutes and I'll upload a new zip with the filename changed to ssporsche.scr. Done.
  25. If you are on Windows XP you can just right click and choose install (once the file is renamed to ssporsche.scr).
