  1. Check with your state laws - here in California you need to document your current mileage and the mileage on the replacement. It is intended to show the car's true mileage when re-sold. So, no the mileage does not transfer over (legally).
  2. The part number is correct. 6 screws per car (3 per side).
  3. From the Lost Radio Code FAQ... "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. Did you see the diagram? That is the correct orientation. In your photo you have the shield upside down.
  5. All of the lights including the hazards go through the front end control unit. Chances are that either it took a spike or otherwise lost some of it's programming. A shop with a PIWIS tester should be able to try and re-program that module. The PSM warning is normal with a battery change and as you saw self correcting.
  6. From the Lost Radio 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."
  7. Sorry, no. The only thing I did with POC was the annual Make a Wish ride alongs at Laguna Seca.
  8. That is not a Porsche radio - so this may not work. Try 9618
  9. I would also look at these in order of known failures... - ignition switch - wet/damaged immobilizer control unit (under the drivers seat) - positive lead from battery to starter/starter solenoid - crankshaft position sensor (can usually be found with a Porsche specific scan tool).
  10. From the Lost Radio Code FAQ... "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."
  11. From the Lost Radio Code FAQ... "CDR-23 (or later): These radios do not have a security code - that is, not that the user enters.

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."
  12. If you look at my third radiator install DIY the first part deals with front bumper removal.
  13. Perhaps a pending fault since it is intermittent. Don't forget about the crankshaft position sensor.
