I have a 2001 996 C4 that I bought with a blown engine. I don't have the Engine back in yet so I cant get the radio code from the dealer. Can you help? The radio is Becker CDR 220, Model number 4462, Serial number 15063863. Porsche Part number 996.645.126.00 Thank You!

Heard back from Porsche of New Orleans.... Was told that it's normal for Porsche's to turn the volume to 100% so that you can hear the phone. Whew! I wonder why no other car we have OR have ever had has done this?!? Its so relaxing to come into the house , get a call and have the ringer blast you at full volume. Gotta love German engineering and why they think they have to control iPhones too.

I've got the single-disc CDR-23 going to the Harman (non-Bose) amp with the optical MOST input.

Thank you Loren! This is a great resource and deserves our support!

Forgot mileage: it's about 72,000. PDK service two months ago at the dealer.

CV joints are usually heard when shifting from reverse to drive - as a clunk. Which is free play in the CV joint. More likely tires or even a wheel bearing - though wheel bearing are usually felt and hear on the side they occur on. How many miles? When was the last PDK service (and did they use Porsche fluids)?

I've posted elsewhere but no response. It's a 2012 997.2 S with PDK. I have a rumble on the highway in 7th traveling at 70-80 mph at a frequency of about 4 seconds. It has been present since I obtained the car a year ago. Tires are newer and show no obvious abnormal wear. The vibration seems to permeate the entire car, not just through the steering wheel. It isn't horrible, but I want to catch something early to avoid an expensive failure down the road. Am I losing a CV joint?

Hi, can someone assist with a code to try on this radio: Type CR220 Model BE4362 S/N W5002637 Thank You!

Just to be clear this is CDR-32 to Harman amp?

Hi Loren, I have the Becker (Harman) 6-channel amp. I need to buy the female connectors. I’ve verified that my rear speakers work by making contact with the 3,12 and 4,13 amplifier terminals. Your wiring diagram was very helpful, thanks for sharing that. The wire harness that I bought from Porsche didn’t include the adapter harness to go from the brown head unit connector to amplifier terminals.

Your profiles say 2003 Boxster - in that year there were two option amps. Do you need the Harman amp or the BOSE amp?

Thanks for your reply Loren. Yes I have a MT cluster. It would appear that my ABS CU is not communicating with my PIWIS so I have not been able to code the ABS. I have a new/used ABS CU on the way so hopefully that will help.

Following…

Does anyone happen to know the specs for those female connectors, indicated by the yellow line? I need to order some to hook up my rear speakers.

Intake air side, air routing General information The air cleaners and the intake systems of the 3.6- and 3.8-liter engines have been redesigned for direct fuel injection (DFI) in order to achieve an ideal torque curve. The modified the air box and the air cleaner upper section bearing the new plaque with the "PORSCHE DIRECT FUEL INJECTIION" logo and the suffix "3.6" or "3.8" are the key elements that enhance the engine compartment design. Re-routing of the hoses and lines also contributes to an attractive appearance of the engine compartment. Air cleaners The air cleaners for the new 911 models have been completely revised. Compared to the single-branch air-cleaner system with integral intake snorkel in the predecessor models, the new engines feature a two-branch air-cleaner system with two intake locations and separate intake snorkels located in the rear lid. The air-cleaner system was converted from a plate filter to two round filters. These measures offer the following advantages: Lower inflow resistance values Longer maintenance intervals for the air-cleaner elements The new 2-branch air intake system reduces inflow losses and therefore the engine intake resistance. In turn, this helps to increase the engine power. The 2-branch intake system permitted wider use of the entire filter surface. More uniform soiling of the filter surface means longer maintenance intervals for the filter elements. The picture shows the lower section of air cleaner with the two air filters (L) and the sound openings (S). Sound openings in the lower section of the air cleaner In order to ensure the typical Porsche intake sound in the interior, the new air-cleaner housings also feature sound openings (S) in the lower section of the air cleaner. As in the predecessor models, they consist of large openings with inserted, nearly airtight polyamide material to avoid the intake of warm air from the engine compartment. 3.8 liters of resonance volume in the air cleaner housing Besides the additional designation "3.8", the air cleaner housing of the Carrera S models with 3.8-liter engine is, as with the 3.6-liter model, distinguished from the predecessor models by the actively activatable resonance volume (RV) in the air cleaner housing of the 3.6 l model. Activation takes place under map control and with temperature compensation via a vacuum-controlled flap (UK), which is activated by the electro-pneumatic switching valve on the right side of the air cleaner housing. Activating and/or deactivating the resonance volume improves the intake sound of the 3.8-liter engine, especially in connection with its specific intake system. Intake system As in the predecessor models, the newly developed intake systems of the 3.6- and 3.8-liter engines with resonance distributor and additional sound chambers consist of plastic. Compared to the predecessor models, the following areas of the intake systems have been modified: New design New production method Distributor tube with integral resonance tube Intake distributor with resonance chamber Adapted intake-pipe lengths and diameters The illustrations show the intake system of the 3.6-liter engine and the resonance tube (without tuning flap). The transverse resonance tube, which was a separate component next to the distribution tube in the predecessor models, has been integrated into the distribution tube. This permits a compact, weight-saving assembly. Tuning flap in the 3.8-liter engine The resonance intake system of the 3.8-liter engine is distinguished from the intake system of the 3.6-liter engine by virtue of an additional, actively activatable tuning flap in the resonance distributor between the intake manifolds. This resonance intake system, which can be activated in two stages, influences and makes use of air oscillations in the intake system at different engine speeds, thereby producing high torque values at low engine speeds, a uniform torque curve in the mid rpm range and high maximum power at high speeds by way of the better engine charging values generated in this manner. The tuning flap is actuated by a vacuum-controlled diaphragm cell (MD). It is activated as controlled by the map by an electro-pneumatic switching valve installed on the resonance tube. Under load, the tuning flap is closed between approx. 3,000 and 5,500 rpm and opened at lower and higher engine speeds. Tuning flaps in the intake distributors The intake systems of both engine versions are enhanced by sound volumes in the intake distributors. They attenuate disturbing resonance sounds in the upper rpm range (5,000 – 6,000 rpm) and make an important contribution to the harmonic, powerful sound profile at full throttle. The design principle for the resonance chambers was adopted from the 3.8-liter engine of the predecessor models. The additional chambers are integrated into the lateral intake distributors and are connected to them via a perforated partition with numerous small openings.

Yes, Should have mentioned. I have a PIWIS at my warehouse. My next steps are going from there, what kind of module and stuff etc

You need access to a PIWIS system..........

Hi Loren, On my side this link is not working ? Do you know where I can find some information about the changeover switch going from the air box to the car works ? My problem is that I want to connect a remote controler directly on the PSE solenoid. I'm trying to figure out if I can power the remote controller in parallel with the air box changeover switch power supply, I'm not sure but it seems to me that the DME drives this changeover switch by the signal return ? Thank's Daniel

I was told that the new amplifier (same part #) I put into the car had to be programmed. The old one wasn't working so not sure if that is the issue. However the connectors were working Any ideas on how to do this?

Anyone connecting an iPhone 13 pro or similar to a newer Cayenne? When you turn off car & exit , is your iPhone ringer volume always maxed out? Consistently with ours, we get out of the car and the phones ringer has always been turned to max loudness. anyone else’s? I can actually see the ringer volume slider change from current lower setting to 100% when iPhone is placed in and connects in the charging tray OR plugged into car via any one of the 3 usb-c ports. It'll change to 100% almost instantly. This does not happen when phone is blue toothed.

As I recall there are two or three places to make changes. Did you change out the instrument cluster? If not, that is likely where that code is coming from.
