Is the RJ-45 connector of the Samtec HSX-ISO board being for the OBD II cable or for the network cable to connect the VCI to the PIWIS 2 laptop over the LAN? What the middle connector is for? Can the BMW OBD II cable for F-series can be used for it?

Key FOB Programming procedure for?
alex222 replied to 996C4SC's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
For the steps #1: I don't know of what are the doubts about these steps as for the sq. #1 there is same button on the keyfob for all 996/986 to lock/unlock. Which cannot be pressed TOGETHER as it is just the same button. Brrr.... Steps #2: I never tried these steps but for 996/986 programming the keyfobs and immobilizer are separate procedures. Even if hypothetically these steps would add the 2nd keyfob to the car with shortened pins #1 and 4; the key needs to be programmed to the immobilizer. -

987.1 Boxster Secondary Air Pump replacement
alex222 replied to alex222's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Your picture is a 986.1 (with a rear Plexiglas window in the upper right corner of the picture) and a different airpump. I was asking specifically about 987.1 and my pump. -
What are the steps to replace 987.1 Boxster secondary air pump 997 605 104 00? Is it located inside of the Passenger side air intake manifold?

Soft Top Left Transmission Part Number
alex222 replied to alex222's topic in 987-1/987C1 Series Part Number Requests
Martin: I don't need you guys for this issue with my 987 but I do see you offer 355 F1 parts that I do need to buy from you that I haven't been able to find b4. You guys are awesome! -
Hello, My chassis serial number is 886U 711171 which is greater than 702823 (match for the lower condition) and also less than 722145 (upper condition match). So which part number is for me out of 2?

Do the 987.1 ECUs require registering a new ECU to the system? I purchased a spare ECU 997 618 603 02 which is a Motronic ME 7.8 from the same 2006 Boxster 2.7L as mine to just to have it for just in case and when I plugged it in to test it out, the engine was not starting up, no even starter clunking in. I do have a spare ECU for my '99 Ferrari and I can swap 'em any time and both of them do work just being plugged in. Those are Bosch Motronic 5.2 though.

Anyone can suggest a part number for the door film on the upper front inner edge? I am not seeing it in the PET parts catalog. I only able to see in the PET catalog the 2 films on the bottom of the door (#16).

Anybody knows of what's a difference in between of: P/N: 000 044 002 27 and P/N: PCG 901 032 40

Thanks but I don't do any aftermarket "improvements" whatsoever and remove along the way as I go any "improvements" the stupid mechanics did do previously. I go strictly by the factory PET catalog to a single screw and washer.

The 996 Owner's Manual refers for the air compressor for C4 all-wheel drive only stored in the spare wheel storage while the PET parts catalog states the air compressor comes with any 996 C2 or C4. I had bought my 996.2 C2 Cabrio used with no air compressor with it and bought it separately. It had a sticker that it came from a 986 Boxster donor car. There are no 4WD 986 Boxsters; all of them are having same spare as 996 C2. Is there a designated storage for it in C2/Cabrio/Targa? In front of the CD Changer? Or in the spare wheel cover in the pocket?

I had a similar problem on 996 and the Error Code pointed to a particular cylinder misfire. Replacing the coil solved the issue. The matter is if you have 2-3 misfires here and there the ECU will not throw the code as to throw the error code out the error needs to repeat itself 3 consecutive times and there are thresholds for every kind of errors like a particular number of misfires are counted as 1 error so with 2-3 misfires then the engine works normal (failing coil) the error counter resets and there is no check engine light. But you can scan if there are errors on your particular cylinder without the Check Engine lit up.

What the 2 protective films 996 537 337 00 on the bottom of the inner side of the bare door are for?
-
Looking for something else I noticed these plastic slides on the parts diagram. Anybody knows of what these are for? Seems like 4 are intended for the 996.
