  1. Did you use the procedure in the Lost Radio Code FAQ to get your serial number? If you did not, then please do and report back here. If you did and this code does not work then I am sorry - someone has changed something inside that radio.
  2. The door panel removal in the Porsche Service Manual is 18 pages..... :eek:
  3. Please read the Lost Radio Code FAQ "How to get your radio serial number? CDR-23 (or later): These radios do not have a security code - that is, not that the user enters. These radios are security tested on the MOST (fiber optic bus) system to see if they are the "programmed" radio. The radios are programmed and recognized by the car’s DME and can only be replaced by a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS. These radios will not request a code when battery power is disconnected."
  4. No fluctuation in the voltage (one bad diode in the regulator will do that)? If there is no fluctuation then I would clear all the codes - turn everything off - then re-test all modules. Report the codes again here.
  5. These are the only door parts available - so I think you may be looking at a new door panel.
  6. Check with Sunset Porsche (in Oregon) for better pricing - though this dealer is not bad since Porsche's MSRP on each rear axle is $881.65. Use the jack points in the owners manual only. Close inspection of the other axle is also in order - you don't need this happening again on the other side. You are fortunate if the transmission was not damaged - as that can happen when the axle or CV joint breaks at speed. You might find these DIY articles helpful... http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/117-cv-boot-replacement/ http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/134-wheel-bearings-101/ http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/131-rear-wheel-bearing-102/ If you do not have a long breaker bar (for the axle nut) and torque wrenches for both ends then leave it to a reputable Porsche repair shop (not necessarily a dealer).
  7. I am pretty sure fault 907 is based on the voltage measured at the generator/alternator. If you measure that voltage (carefully) with the engine running it should be in the 11.4 to 14.4 volt range. If not, then you may have a bad alternator or regulator. Check for damaged wires while you are there too...
  8. Do you mean this part? If so, then yes the door panel must come off first.
  9. From the Durametric website: Version 6 system requirements differ from version 5... Windows XP, Vista, Win7, and Win8 (32- or 64-bit versions) 1.8 GHz Pentium-class, dual-core processor or faster (ARM processor such as on Windows Surface using WinRT not supported) 1 GB Memory (RAM) 1 GB available disk space Available USB port Internet connection (for installation and updates) Screen resolution of 800x600 or greater Microsoft® .NET Framework 3.5 sp1 (free download). Not required on Windows 7. - .NET Framework version 4.x not supported. Adobe® Acrobat Reader (for viewing and printing documentation) Durametric 2nd-generation cable
  10. Please read the Lost Radio Code FAQ "Can you give me a code for my PCM? These units are manufactured jointly by Siemens and Becker, and the only place where you can get the codes required is from the dealer/OPC. The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested. Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."
  11. As I recall the fender bolts attach from inside front trunk.
  12. There is no upgrade path from Porsche. I think you are looking at a real challenge with a system from a 2014 and trying to put it in a 2006 car - 8 years and two generations in between. A 3rd party aftermarket solution might be a better investment IMHO.
  13. Please read the Lost Radio Code FAQ "Can you give me a code for my PCM?

The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested. Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."
  14. Fault code 1809 Left temperature valve servo motor Possible causes of fault - No or incorrect basic setting - Short circuit to ground - Open circuit/short circuit to B+ - Servo motor flap stiff - Servo motor faulty - Front air-conditioning system regulator faulty
  15. Porsche replaces sub-assemblies so I doubt they ever had them either. If an amp (or immobilizer, or other control unit, etc., etc.) fails - Porsche just replaces the whole box. You could try a few salvage yards or just replace it with a 3rd party newer style amp.
  16. If your battery is 4 years old or older - replace it. It will not likely make it through the winter anyway. You need to do more diagnostic work to narrow down the issue. (click to enlarge) The control unit is a couple hundred dollars so check the other items first.
