    Perhaps 911.613.113.00 changeover switch -- US MSRP $12.86
  3. Loren
    All MY02 and newer cars use DME 7.8. So that DME 5.2.2 manual will not have all the new codes in it. The DME 5.2.2 is pre egas so it won't have that info either. You want WKD 484 121 DME 7.8 OBD II Manual -- US MSRP is $387.84 but check with Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) to see what their price is.

    The air pump starts when you start the car cold. You might unplug it (briefly) and see if it is the cause of the noise.

    So, you think it's safer to splice into the brown ground wire instead of running the ground wire with my new wiring kit directly from the ground output on my new amp to the battery? And I'm kind of stupid on this, but what's the difference between the switched and unswitched wires? With radios and amps it is all out ground loops and interference. A ground to the chassis might be better. I mean no disrespect... but if you do not know the difference between switched power and unswitched power - then perhaps you should leave this to a pro. Switched power means power is only there when the key is in the "on" position. Unswitched power means that power is always there - even when the key is removed and car is locked (or unlocked).

    :welcome: Currently the parts list (PET as of August 1) shows option I171 - Acoustic package and option I176 - Sports exhaust.
  7. Loren
    Glad you got it straightened out - we knew it could be done. A few of clarifications: 1. That has been stated here before. You will see nothing on aMY01 or newer Boxster (MY02 or newer Carrera) until you have a switch. 2. Also covered here.

    Any DME fault codes? Did you hear any noises? I assume from your comments that the engine runs and revs fine?
  9. Loren
    Try 4895 or 4893
  10. Loren
    I would start by checking the connection under the seat and at the control module. Be sure to disconnect the battery or you will trigger an airbag light when you remove the seat.

    Terminal 15 = Switched +12 volts Terminal 30 = Unswitched +12 volts Terminal 31 = Ground
  12. Loren
    The consumption rate would depend on the number of miles/operating hours. Porsche says 1 quart in 800 is within spec. How many miles on the car?
  13. Loren
    Carefully measure the voltage across the battery (with a good voltmeter) while the engine is running 13-14 volts is normal. If it is below that then you either have a voltage drain or a bad alternator/regulator.
  14. Loren
    IMHO... if you are using the factory Mobil 1 (synthetic) then 12K is fine. The oil will go actually go further. But if you drive a lot of dusty roads or go offroad you likely want to cut that in half.
  15. Loren
    :welcome: A little white smoke at start up is fairly normal for a flat 6 engine. Check to see if the oil level is too high. If it is at the top bar it could be over filled.
  16. Loren
    LOL... probably a hundred different faults. It is done to protect the transmission from damage and to keep the car "safe". You will need to get the fault codes to see what is really going on.
  17. Loren
    You will need to run a PST2 or PIWIS on the car and check for fault codes. Chances are the Tiptronic fell back into "limp mode" because of a fault.
  18. Loren
    Try 3135 or 3133
  19. Loren
    You need to read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  20. Loren
    The OEM shifter is not "as short" as the B&M.
  21. Loren
    Remove the cover plate (remove the small round plug?). Underneath are 2 screws to open the rest of it.
  22. Loren
    Try 9093 or 9091

    Looks like the Porsche Preparation For Mobile Phone. "Telephone preparation for mobile telephones contains an antenna integrated in the radiator tank, various wires, a microphone, as well as a bracket for the mobile telephone holder. The hands-free microphone must be set to the type of mobile phone (see Technical Manual, Group 9, Part ID. 9157). The respective rigging set of the mobile telephone, which enables phone use with the hands-free unit, is connected to the 18-pin plug in accordance with the VDA standard (VDA = Verband Deutscher Automobilhersteller - Association of German Automobile Manufacturers). If the mobile telephone is not installed at the same time, the 18-pin plug and the antenna coupling remain under the center console. The holder contained in the set including mounting elements should be left if the vehicle for later installation of the telephone." To mount a cell phone there you need the second part of a kit to install the correct brand of cell phone.

    :welcome: Sorry, but if your car did not come from the factory with PCM the wiring is not there. All Porsches have custom wire harnesses built to order specs at the factory - so adding some options later can be a lot of work. PCM 1 is not a very good NAV system by today's standards - many folks replace them with much better (and easier to wire in) after market NAV systems.

    Yes, I know the economy is not doing well and... we have to pay for the TSBs we get from Porsche too. Been on the site for over 2 years and and you haven't noticed the Donate buttons? ;) Just click on any Donate button at the top left or very bottom of any page. Thanks!
