  1. Hi, there. I described an occasional and very annoying squeaking noise coming from the rear of my new C4S cabriolet. It turns out that it's coming from the rubber gaskets at the rear of the convertible top (one on the car and one on the top mechanism). What might be the best way to deal with this? Silicone, WD40, ??? Marc
  2. Thanks for the replies. No track, no hard driving though. Sounds almost too "squishy" a sound to be metal.... Anything it might be in the convertible top mechanism? I'll have the dealer check the rear sway bar, though... Marc
  3. Hi, there. I currently have an incredibly obnoxious squeaking coming from the rear of the car. Unless the car is stopped or running on a perfectly smooth road, the noise is present. It sounds something like old bedsprings; almost as bad as styrofoam rubbed together (well, maybe not as loud). The sound is far worse over bumps, but even accelleration/deceleration incite the darned thing. One final hint: This started a few weeks ago then completely stopped. It's now back. Any thoughts? Thanks... Marc
  4. My PCM II install went pretty much perfectly, and the unit is a joy to use. Stupid old me forgot to take pictures of the kit, but I'll describe it here... The functional parts of the kit are: The PCM II head unit, a Nav module that goes INTO the head unit, the GPS antenna, and an extension cable for the GPS antenna. The other parts were mounting hardware (a bracket, the fascia, and some screws). There is NO other harness or wiring needed. The installation should take 2-3 hours at MOST (pun intended). There's really not much to do - take out the head unit, move the ventilation unit below, connect the cabling to the PCM II (radio antenna, gps antenna, MOST cable, and power cable), program with PSM2, and put everything back together. The only piece I forgot to get was a trim piece with rounded bottom for the ventilation unit (which is at the lowest part of the "stack"). I'll post some "after" pictures later... Don't know about missing the OBC though... Marc
  5. Thanks, Loren! Any idea what the "module" is? (There doesn't seem to be any wiring for it). Also, are there instructions for installation or is it "obvious"? Take care. Marc
  6. Sorry to have omitted important info! I AM having a dealer install it, but I have less than 100% confidence that 1) I have everything I need and that 2) the tech will know what to do. Call it a hunch. I have Bose sound, no changer, no phone. The kit part # is 000 044 900 70. Thanks for looking into this for me! Marc The PCM main unit is 996 642 224 04 A05 The cable is 996 612 009 00 The antenna is 996 642 206 00 The "module" is 996 642 205 01 There's a metal bracket/frame, a plastic bezel'ish thing, and a few screws.
  7. Hello, all. I'm replacing the CDR-23 in my '04C4S Cab with a PCM II. I ordered the part (a kit, actually) and am sitting here looking at the parts. Besides mounting hardware, there's the PCM, a GPS antenna, a cable (?), and a 1x2x4" "module" that connects to cables on either end. Can anyone tell me if the kit's complete? Are there instructions for installing these, or a clue as to how the various things connect? I ask because my local tech here sounds clueless... Thanks! Marc
  8. I got the same $ amount from my dealer. He wasn't sure if there were other parts required (cables, etc.) Thanks for your help. Marc
  9. Does anyone have an idea of the cost of the changer and an estimate for cost of installing? Somehow, this sounds hellish. Marc
