    Have 06 C2 myself; when I was in the buying mode, I too wanted the full nav pack...which I found. That said, I use my Iphone all the time - very accurate, touch/voice controlled and no update DVDs to buy.

    Just got a new one from Advance Auto Parts, Fort Myers...same deal as Cassiebox (above); $175 less 15%, less $50 coupon - brought it into store and they installed it for free. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Battery,-Group-Size-94R,-730-CCA-AutoCraft-Gold_2130011-P_2916_S|GRPBATTAM2___

    Phillip: Can you please advise what size the hex screws are? Thank you.

    Loren/All: Any possibility that an "optional" field could be added (to the registry) that would allow members to identify their local PCA affiliation...and that this field also be added to the Search filter dropdown? Or if State is 1:1 with PCA organizations, then perhaps adding State (from profile) to Registry Search filter dropdown? Thanks for listening.

    I saw one up close a few years back; like the photoshop'd pic at this link http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=499815 , I think it would look better in satin or matt finish. From a resale perspective, I've got to believe that a fixed ragtop would fare better than a broken one, with a hardtop...additionally, I found my former Boxster far too noisy (engine noise) with the top up.

    Hey Arad: When I went looking for an extended warranty for a 06' 997 C2 with 31k, my research told me that there are really only two non-Porsche players that can trusted: 1. http://easycare.com/; Accredited by BBB, backed by Motor Trend and Insured by Zurich 2. www.warrantydirect.com ; Accredited by BBB, and referenced by several on this site I decided to go with EasyCare...even signed the paperwork, but then found out (and this is a long story) that a former CPO warranty would still apply - EasyCare gave back the deposit with no questions asked; I'll likely go back to them once the CPO runs out. I believe EasyCare's price for Primary Care was $2500 for up to 4 years or 60k. Let us know what you decide.

    I had the same problem with my 2006 C 2S. I brought it in for the problem and it was tightened up and now opens fine, and does not rattle anymore. It is however slighly out of position when compared to the passenger side. RB1 RB1: Super thanks for the response...dealer called me today and said that it was wear and tear, so would not be covered by CPO...total cost to me will be $80...will let you know the result. thx again. RB1: Fixed and looks the same as the passenger door - all for $67, noting my dude did a 30/70 split; turned out to be a cable inside the door, not the handle itself

    As long as the name of the owner (and other personal information, like address, etc.) is NOT provided, there are no Data Privacy Issues. Try again, asking VIN only. I recently called a California dealer and got a verbal confirmation of service and repairs. Best of Luck

    The PCM manual is separate from the Owner's Manual; you can find them in the "Documents Menu", above; this is the specific Cayenne PCM Manual that was listed: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/1131-cayenne-pcm-manual/

    In the spirit of sharing...I had a Les Schwab XTreme Power Battery installed yesterday in my 06 997c2 - it was recommended by a Porsche Service Manager. It cost $99 plus $10 install. · 24 Month Free Replacement Warranty · 84 Month Pro-Rata Warranty · 590-900 Cold Cranking Amps http://lesschwab.com/batteries/xtremepower.asp Have never heard of Les Schwab Tire Centers. Are they local to you ? They don't make their own batteries so could be the model you bought was made by Interstate for them and explains the similarity of the two. I'll reach out and provide any relevant updates. I believe they are NW only.
