I plan to replace my 1998 Boxster instrument cluster with a used one I get from EBay. Does anyone know if the mileage on my current cluster carries over and will appear on the replacement cluster or if the mileage on the replacement cluster will appear?
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).

Bought replacement radio for my 2003 Porsche Boxster on Ebay and need the radio code. Model #BE6612, serial #35051265. Thank you!
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." -

Did you read my Q?
Did you see the diagram? That is the correct orientation. In your photo you have the shield upside down.

#1 cause is the clutch microswitch.

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.

Hi Can you help provide code for
Model number BE 2580
Serial number 65151489
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." -

Hi Loren,
A pleasure to connect with you. I've read your responses on this forum many times. Thanks for your efforts for Boxster owners. Are you the same Loren as used to run monster 911's in POC 15 years ago?
Sorry, no. The only thing I did with POC was the annual Make a Wish ride alongs at Laguna Seca.

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).
