    Try 7199 or 7197 Neither worked :( Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  2. Loren
    Does "P" show in the cluster signifying you are in Park?
  3. Loren
    Try 7199 or 7197

    Did you look on the back of fuse door - all cars come with them originally. I do not have any 2008 schematics yet (which is normal for Porsche).
  5. Loren
    Start by cleaning the throttle body.

    Most of this has been covered elsewhere and there are plenty of other folks that can answer this and give you their opinions. For my car I use: I use Mobil 1 0W-40 (although I used 15W-40 when I spend a lot of time at the track) I run 32 front and 36 rear (cold) - but for most folks you likely want to stick with the factory specs of 36 front and 44 rear. I believe that tire pressures need to be dependent on your driving style. So, there is not a tire pressure that works for everyone. But somewhere between those ranges should be good for most folks.

    Well, let's start by moving this thread to the Cayman forum (rather than 997). P23 is an order guide option number rather than the Porsche option code on the car. Likely the option code on the car's option sticker is I610 P23 = PCM 2.1 w/Extended Navigation Allows navigation on unmapped roads via GPS and compass.

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11667 996.512.250.00 Rear Wall -- MSRP $84.20 (as of June 2008) Sunset Imports for $68.24 (as of August 2007)

    JMHO but I think you are asking for trouble installing two alarms on the car and expecting to use the same circuits.
  10. Loren
    Thanks, I'll have a look on the next 9x7 series I see.
  11. Loren
    Model and year of your car please...
  12. Loren
    Thank you RFM. We know you can reset it with a PIWIS - do you know if you can change the interval (from 1 year to 2 years)?
  13. Loren
    Yes, it could have been added afterward. 09991 = manufacture from the exclusive-programme This just means the car has one or more Exclusive options (X options)
  14. Loren
    Thanks for the response, Loren. So, is PST2/PIWIS the only way to reset my service indicator? Durametric's website doesn't have a tool listed for the 997TT... only the base 997 and the 996TT are mentioned. Can the dealer reprogram my service indicator to go off in 2 year intervals? Interesting... I just got back from Wally Mart with a case of 15-40... j/k!!! :D I think they have added that - check with the folks at Durametric - they are always adding new stuff. I don't know if the interval can be reset with a PIWIS. I would like to give it a try.
  15. Loren
    I wish I did... I'm still trying to figure out why 15W-40 Mobil 1 came off the approved list after being - practically the only approved oil for 5 years. I guess further testing of oils and engine wear must lead to this (along with Mercedes and BMW having longer intervals too).
  16. Loren
    Will the Carrera GT keyhead's transmitter work with my '99 996? Thanks Yes, 000.044.000.83 Design key work on any Carrera MY1999-MY2005 You put your blade, transponder, and circuit board in the Design Key.
  17. Loren
    Yes, I do not think is any harder than a 986/996 but you have to remove more - especially if it is a Cab with the BOSE woofer in right front tunnel. Coupe would likely be quicker (I would guess 30-45 minutes for those experienced) but I would say with a Cab and BOSE add 15-20 minutes to remove and then install the extra parts. Of course we know this now since Martin's car was a Cab with BOSE.
  18. Loren
    You might check with Todd Holyoak - I think he went from throttle cable to egas on a Boxster.
  19. Loren
    Need I say more...
  20. Loren
    Buy your keys from Sunset Imports then take them in with the tags and have the dealer cut the metal part and program the button part to your car. If you have any keys left you should take them in also - because you can only program 4 keys total into the immobilizer.
  21. Loren
    No, I think that means that this is the third occurrence and the DME reset the first 2 or perhaps it has occurred 3 times with no DME correction)
  22. Loren
    And a few more... And the strange one for the day...
  23. Loren
    Here are some pics that David took.
  24. Loren
    if you don't clear the alarm code they will stay there until someone with a PST2 or PIWIS clears them. No I have never seen anything strange ;)
  25. Loren
    Hi Loren, i knew i could count on you to reply! Is the flashing light indicative of anything in particular? I cannot find any reference to a flashing light only to steady light. Since i hear the relay in the cab top control unit click should i assume that all non-top related microswitches are operable; such as parking brake, etc? I do not have access to a PST2 but i thought to check some pinouts on the connectors. Well, a PST2 or PIWIS will tell you what motor or microswitch is failing to respond. Without it you are just guessing. here is a list of what the tool can check/test.
