I don't beleive there is an emergency release cable on the 997. I've searched this forum and the web and looked on both sides, driver and passenger, of my 05 C2S and didn't see it. Unless Loren can post some diagrams of the 997 front, otherwise I believe there is none. The only option for you Tom is to go to the dealership and give them your VIN and proof of ownership and they'll make you a key for $50-$100.

I rest my case...

Thanks for the diagram Loren. also thanks for the other replies. had a tow 90 miles to home where spare key is located. judging from my history of stupidity and repeating, i need to locate it before my wife gives me back my keys. it's not easy getting old. thanks again, Tom

The emergency release cable is in the right front fender well.

ok. i give. tire is removed. searched for manual cable on right side, passenger side, inside wheel well. any more help is greatly appreciated. thanks again. tom

The easy way is to unlock the door, add power thru

the cigarette lighter and use the door switch.

can't open the door. I unlocked the door and opened the trunk at the same time,using key fob. did not open the door. placed bag in trunk, not knowing my keys were in my hat that i set on top of my bag. automatic feature will relock door if not opened within 60sec. power is not the issue. my stupidity is another issue. i was wondering if a cable or release is present. i don't see one in the manual.

2006 997 C2. Is there an emergency release cable for year 2006. I have only found electrical release per key fob or lid button near door. keys in trunk, door locked. have spare set at home. thanks

anyone have a 997 c2 shop manual on disk? had one for my 996 but haven't located one for 997 yet. thanks

I have a 2006 997 without nav. has anyone installed the dice unit to power up an ipod touch. any negatives. thanks, tom

What became of your situation? I bought a 2001 C4Cab a few months ago and the alarm still goes off intermittently (after the car is locked - not when sitting in the garage unlocked). I tried pressing the door lock button on the key twice rapidly in succession, and then three times. That didn't work. I also had an independent shop put a computer on it and they said the code showed the motion detector was bad, and they replaced it. (They admitted they couldn't clear the code, which should have been a hint, because it didn't fix the problem.) The radio has been replaced - once by the prior owner, and once by me (with a Sirius capable unit), and the prior owner did install a radar detector infront and back, so there have been a few hands in the wiring harness. Any other thoughts?

i disconnected the horn. the system only went off once in awhile. now, only the get the flashers. haven't noticed any. maybe it is self correcting.

if it's a factory radio (becker), i believe you have to enter a code if you disconnect the battery in order to power it up. a code bar should appear.

Seriously, how do we know you own the car and don't just want to know how to steal one? Not trying to suggest this IS true, but this is the internet and you just signed up with no intro....

I'm 58, retired airline pilot. if i wanted to steal a car, i'd go for a 2008 GT3. any help on that security system? but first i'd have to break into the garage and past the 3 pit bulls.

central coast calif. paso robles. local shop did'nt have tester. guess i will have to go to santa barbara porsche unless i can find the test equipt. thanks for the help. tom

I guess i stumped everyone on this.

I have a 1999 996 c2. The alarm has gone off at different times in the garage and out. locked and unlocked. Nearest dealer 2 hours away. I have disconnected the horn but the lights still will go to timeout. Is it possible to disconnect the entire alarm system, still able to use the remote locking key.
