  1. I just bought a 1999 Boxster and I need the radio code. The dealer put a new battery in and the code card is not in the car. I would really like to listen to some music. Here is the info, CDR-220 Serial # X5021245 Model# BE 4462 48/98 Thanks, John Try 2522 or 2520
  2. All the radios in Porsches since MY03 have been MOST. You likely need to turn options on/off in using a PIWIS so that the new car knows what is plugged in.
  3. Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  4. That signal is no longer on the OBD II plug. Almost everything on the 9x7 series cars is on the CAN bus.
  5. You need a new ignition switch - it is a common problem on the older cars. Replacing the Ignition Switch DIY
  6. Did you look in the links section? Becker of North America
  7. :welcome: P0116 Engine Temperature – Signal Implausible Possible fault cause: - Thermostat (permanently open) - Open coolant shutoff valve (only Tiptronic vehicles) - Wiring - Temperature sensor faulty - DME control module faulty I hope they did that work under warranty - because it sure looks like they shotgunned it instead of finding the root cause. I would not worry if it does not pass the zero in 180. Still you might want to check and clean the front intakes (in front of the radiators).
  8. They still call it "Sports Steering Wheel". Here it is in the parts list.
  9. 997.347.980.00.xxx Where is xxx is the color code (i.e. A34 would be black leather)
  10. Try our Search - it does work :) http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=80216
  11. :welcome: That is your clutch interlock switch. It is either poorly adjusted or needs to be replaced.
  12. Just remove the rear bumper and everything is accessible. It's pretty straight forward.

  14. Thanks Loren. Unfortunately the numbers aren't working. I got the "code" sign, pressed the number in, then pressed the "up" arrow... and nothing..... just the "code" sign again. Any other words of wisdom? I appreciate your help so much. It's amazing how many people you've saved from car-silence!!! =) Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  15. That is for Litronic/Bi-Xenon self leveling headlights.
  16. I think you have to fill out a form and have a Referee (smog Referee) verify that parts are not available. Also, I found this at the CA Bureau of Automotive Repair. "California law limits the amount of money required to be spent on repairs needed to pass a biennial Smog Check inspection to $450 minimum. If you have spent at least $450 on repairs at a Smog Check station and your vehicle continues to fail inspection, you may qualify for a Repair Cost Waiver. A Repair Cost Waiver postpones the certificate requirement and allows you to complete the vehicle registration renewal. The Repair Cost Waiver can only be issued by the State Referee. Please note that the repair cost limit only applies to the biennial Smog Check requirement and does not apply to the repair of tampered emission controls or repairs performed prior to inspection. A vehicle receiving a waiver must be fully repaired by the next Smog Check requirement. A waiver may only be issued once to an owner of a particular vehicle and may not be issued if a waiver was issued during the previous biennial inspection."
