The question refers to any 996, my particular year model is a 2002

Is anyone aware of anything behind the dash with a 5v bus?

This might sound like a silly question, but I assume this will replace the auxilary connection to the CD changer?

That's correct. I don't know about you but I've got a lot more than 6 CDs on my iPod... :P

I've had both 99-01 and 02-04 Carreras... The 02-04 model wins hands down.

They went through and fixed all the problems. It's the little things, makes so much of a difference - SO much nicer.

I'd never go back.

Do you have an aftermarket shifter?

Nobody should have to live without a swivel joint and a 1" extension.

Makes life SO much easier, and only cost like $20

I needed some wiring diagrams and various manuals and Keith definitely took care of me!

If you ever need any kind of shop manuals or wiring diagrams you should certainly shoot him a PM on here!

Thanks again

Forget all that I say Bravo! 12,000 track miles, operating beyond the engines manufactured capacity. That is amazing pure and simple, I have not seen 12kmiles track racing and you don't want to know the failures I've had! This should not come as a surprise, but unless you're gonna break the engine down and inspect it after every race as the pro's do then you couldn't hope to know about it and I would have to say that even with an inspection you would not find it. :D

Amen! If you're gonna race, stress, push, and abuse it; be prepared to pay to play.

What I stated isn't just what I FEEL, but I have collected the data to support the claim-

:cheers:

You're a dying breed, sir, and I applaud your ethics.

No, CD changer does not have the built-in ability to display track info.

You can try calling Becker directly, but I assure you, they will be far less than helpful.

I have quite a bit of experience in the venture that you're pursuing.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

That's happened to me before too.

Sucks

Just slip your fingers around the back side of the panels and pull laterally towards the side of the car.

You might have to put some muscle in it, they aren't gonna break dont worry.

Male, under 25, Texas, '02 911. No wrecks. I pay $2500/yr for full coverage, comprehensive, uninsured, towing, etc etc

Where's a good place to get wiring diagrams?

Thanks Loren

What am I looking for?

High resistance in wires? Melted wires?

Popped light bulbs?

I really don't know anymore.

Welp, I spliced all the wires back together and reset everything by disconnecting the battery for half an hour...

Didn't fix anything.

I'm assuming that the short damaged some control unit somewhere. Does this sound feasible? If so, which ones should I check?

Hmm, I think I may have found a contributing factor...

I KNEW there had to be a common point SOMEWHERE.

I'm off to get some flux, these wires dont take too well to solder.

Once I get everything back together I'll come back with updates.

Hopefully nothing else was damaged by the short(s)

'02 911 C2

18.9 MPG.

Mostly city driving, some highway.

Battery is 2-3 years old. No problems turning over or anything else.

I'll have it load tested, though.

Wiggling the key does nothing.

I'll try that right now.

It seems like one hell of a coincidence that brake, reverse and interior lights all malfunction at the same time.

Are there any fuse/relay locations other than drivers footwell?

Does a single control module power these systems together?

No, I said that before they are not connected. Interior are off the alarm/central locking control and reverse is off the

How is your ignition switch? If you wiggle the key do things change?

I'll try that next. Thanks.

I just tried bypassing the switch - no deal.

Any other ideas/starting points?

Thanks again

Reverse lights also not working.

I assume that's related to the brake lights.

Are there wiring diagrams available online?

Will this cable work with a Cr 220 with Navigation? I have a 99' C4 with the double-din deck and navigation...heard there were issues with simply hooking up an adapter cable? If it's as easy as you make it sound I will be very happy! If anyone knows how to hard wire an ipod to my deck please let me know so I can get ridof my changer...really getting tired of changing CD's.

Thanks!!! 808C4 :)

No, neither of the abovementioned cables will work with your NAV unit. Sorry.
