Hello all, I'm noticing the car bouncing/wallowing a lot recently. Setting PASM firms it up a bit, but not as it once did. The car has 69000 miles on the clock now so I'm thinking perhaps it's time for the shock absorbers to be replaced. What shock absorbers do you recommend? I'm considering either Porsche original parts or Bilstein B4 gas. I understand that the original parts are made by Bilstein so I'm at a loss to understand the difference between buying Porsche original and Bilstein B4 gas. Does anyone know if there is a difference? Also is it worth the upgrade to Bilstein B6? Or will it make the ride excessively harsh? Thanks in advance for your guidance. -
Boxster 987 Audio upgrade advise
crxvtec replied to sunil456's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Have you got PCM, Bose or Sound System Plus? If so, upgrading is going to be pricey. If you just have the basic head unit and non upgraded speakers, then it's slightly less expensive. -
I've just bought a Bosch Silver battery for my Boxster S - I plumped for the 80Ah version (S4 010). Engine fires up fine but I get PASM failure and PSM failure on my dash. Has anyone else had this? Any ideas how to clear it? Thanks in advance, Chirag.

I'm glad you got to the bottom of it - and nice of Dension to listen to your pleas and fix it in firmware! I presume we'll all get the new firmware as 2.12 some point soon. Did you get any benefit from the PCM upgrade?
-
Enzo, are you able to access the menus at all? Cos you need to go into the CD List, then pick Menu, then go to Track List and pick Source - then you'll see the 4 options listed there. If I have time I'll try to shoot some video of this and post it somewhere, failing that if anyone else can do that, please do! I think we're agreed though that your Dension is stuck in iPod UI mode and needs to be switched into iPod GW mode. Worth getting down to your dealer to get the firmware update on PCM, alternatively get it from the net at your own risk. Also have you tried getting help from Eric @ Bumperplugs? He's US based and may be able to advise seeing as he shifts a lot of GW500s to Porsche owners.

Enzo, your CD changer is enabled already so you don't need to go to the dealership for anything. What you do need to do is switch from the iPod UI mode into iPod GW mode. Please see MattD's post above on how to do that. Once that's done, you'll see all the info come up. I also suggest you put the latest firmware on your gateway 500. This is available from the Dension support site - current release is 2.11 for MOST bus cars such as ours. Good luck! Chirag.

New firmware on, got it into iPod GW mode, got PAGING and SELECT configured (I think!) - so now when I scroll through a list I get to the next page option and push the round knob, it starts to play the first track of the next page, instead of just displaying the page. Is that normal?
-
I got mine in and it plays, though I am getting iPod UI on the screen and not getting any track details. I'm flashing the unit with the new firmware just now but not sure what to do next to complete setup. I got it into config mode and tried to enable paging and select but that didn't do anything useful...so once I've flashed it to 2.11 I'll go looking for more instructions. Install was fairly straightforward though I have yet to fish the cables into the passenger compartment - I don't think they'll be long enough :(
-
Berty, can you tell me what colour the +ve and ground cables are going into the back of the CD Changer? I just bought my Dension Dual FOT unit and want to get it running ASAP! Also any ideas on how to get the aux in, USB and Ipod cables into the glovebox? I had a brief look but there was no obvious grommet asking to be punched out.

Hi all, My keyhead is falling to pieces so I bought another one on eBay. I can move the keyblade across and even move the remote electronics across but the transponder seems to be glued in. Is there an easy way to swap this over? Are there any other things I need to do? I don't have the barcode so can't program the new head into the car, hence the need to simply swap the plastic casing over... Thanks in advance, Chirag.

How long did it take to put in and where did you tap the power from? Lastly you mentioned it has 2 wires for power, but the pic shows two different connectors with 2 wires in one and quite a few wires in the other - what are these for?
-
Nice one - I'm getting one imminently. Have you got the latest Dension firmware? Have you found any niggles/annoyances or does it function intuitively?
