    I had a similar problem. I took it to the dealer (Roger Jobs in Bellingham) and I was told there are 22 different key numbers. They kept trying each one until they found the right one, then they had to special order it. It took less than a week and cost me $24 plus shipping.

    Thats exactly what i need to know, I was trying to get ahead of myself because i don't receive this unit until the 8th of this month, so i don't know what exactly i am going to get but the unit is supposedly in original package, unopened. Can I get back to you when i receive it? I'll photograph what i receive and get together with you on installation, perfect ! Bob Leslie Sure PM me when ready. We'll post progress for future use.

    I have done the CD Changer for a CDR 220 radio. I have photos for cabling information to the back of head unit if needed. What cables, brackets, etc came with your purchase?

    I think the mesh wind blockers located between the roll bars actually do reduce the wind and noise inside the cabin. To prevent an easy theft or to keep them from blowing out, I would suggest using cinch ties to keep them in place. I used white in the photo to make them visible. When the ties are the same color as the mesh or rollbar and the extra tail cut off, you can't see them.

    Not sure if you are replacing the entire barrel unit. If so, I highly recommend also removing the gauge cluster and steering wheel plastic skirts. It really simplied the replacement for me.

    I have the exact same jack pad. First $30.00 takes it.

    Both the AMP and the Stock CD Changer are in the front trunk behind and above the spare tire.

    Sounds like the AOS has gone bad. Run a search on AOS (Air Oil Separator) using the search feature on this Board. Here is a link to Mike Focke's Web Page PRESS HERE

    I stand corrected. It is the unused harness for the OEM Cell Phone (not PCM) as JFP in PA suggests. Great Pictures JFP! Here is a photo shot of my current setup with the power cord running to the lighter socket. You can see it is a very short distance to the instrument cluster behind the 4 way. I ordered the needed wiring harness from Escort. Here is a LINK to the harness.

    I have the same unit and thought about a more permanent installation as well. I'm not sure the dome light is the best place to get power from however (fuse capacity). I was thinking of taking power out of the center console and running up and out of the back of the gauge cluster directly behind the 4-way flasher. There would only be a short wire exposed and it would be on the same side that the 9500ix requires. In the console at the bottom there is switched and unswitched power supplies from a unused PCM wiring harness or you can also run power directly from a spare slot in the fuse panel. To remove the gauge cluster you only need to loosen 2 easy to get at torx screws. I had the gauge off a couple of times. Once to install the OBC 4 way stalk and the other to place a microphone in the OEM microphone slot. The torx screws are loacted behind the 4-way flasher. Push 4-way to have it extend out and pull. The other is behind the microphone slot on the left hand side. Need a plastic uphostery tool to pry the round mesh cover out.

    Is the creaking sound inside the cabin underneath the airbag on the steering wheel?

    I replaced my horns with a set from Griot's Garage. LINK HERE. I followed a thread on horns not to long ago, that included a post from Loren that was very helpful. Thread Here. Since the installation I have had several instances where the extra loud horn came in extremely handy. Good luck and good choice!

    +1 on the IMS Bearing

    Is the code active? Some alarm codes just have a counter that you can't reset. Reset the code with a Durametric and see if it comes back and the count frequency increases by 1.

    If your cap ends in 01, It should be replaced. I replaced mine last summer and I believe they end in 04 now.

    I have one. I had it made. I also have a short 10mm triple square you can use. The Porsche Tool however, determines the tolerance in the opening to help see if a new RMS will keep. My RMS wasn't leaking bad so I figured it wasn't to far out of center (eccentric) and it wasn't going to be an issue for me. Worked for me. Let me know.

    SOme leave the radio wire shorted out which will cause the same thing as leaving the armrest compartment open.

    Here is a link with some info that should help. PRESS HERE Also: 1. Make sure battery is disconnected and keys out of the ignition 2. Invest in a long T30 screw driver for removing air bag screws 3. The airbag screws where really tight and I used a pair of vice grips to gain additional leverage 4. After removing airbag turn steering wheel and front tires dead center before removing the steering wheel for reference on re-install Very straight forward and an easy DIY Project.

    Shoudn't be a problem.

    Leave your coolant breather locking clip open, Section 19 of Bentley Service Manual.

    Gaps are 6mm on the clam shell I sent you a PM with more details.
  23. kbrandsma
    Hi Bruno, Not sure exactly what you want. On the door the gap dimensions are: front side (under mirror) - 5.0 mm bottom - 4.4 mm back side (next to vent) - 4.0 mm What do you mean by small lid? Rear trunk?
  24. kbrandsma
    Very nice indeed!
