The Porsche dealer around here (B----vue) recommended that we go to Benchmark Motoring. Does anyone on this forum have experience with them? I'd rather just go to my brothers girlfriends fathers place (the junkyard). Is there somewhere around Seattle where there is a Porsche dealer (or someone with a PIWIS) who isn't a total knob? Thanks.

Ok, I'm ticked off now. The Porsche Dealer around here first said that it couldn't be done. Then they said it could be done. Then they said that they couldn't do it on my car because "someone" had messed with the radio (I've installed a Denison Gateway). I'm wondering if they're just incompetent or if the Denison really made it so they can't turn on "Indiv Mem". Arrrgh.

Right, "Please observe the chapter “Individual Memory” in the separate PCM operating instructions." Does anyone have that chapter or know where it is? I couldn't find it.

Hey there: I have a 2006 C2 Carrera Cab. I've looked in the PCM for Indivd (individual memory) and it isn't there. I have the PCM with the sport chrono package, so what gives? I'd really like daytime running lights. Thanks!

BTW, I've already downloaded the manuals from this excellent site anyway (THANKS!!!!!) and printed them and put them in nice leather binders. I'm still a little pissed at the Downtown LA Porsche guy for saying, "Oh yeah, it has all the manuals." I've e-mailed him twice now with no response. I know that car dealers are snakes, but don't you expect a little bit better from a Porsche dealer? When I bought my preowned BMW they went to extremes to keep me happy! (Tho I do have to say, the car itself is in terrific shape so.....maybe...just maybe....I whine too much.....Naw!!!!!!)

I'm not knocking the CPOCPETCSAFD program. I'm more knocking the dealer. Believe it or not, I've also bought quite a few used cars in my time. From complete pieces of cr-p to my current beauty. I just expected more from a Porsche dealer and former owner. BTW the dealer did wind up sending me the 2nd key, but not the little extra key.... He/they never got back to me about the manuals.

They can't check everything, true, but they do say that the Porsche Certified Pre-Owned cars go through a "rigorous" 100,000,000 point check - or something like that. I just expected a little bit better quality than a Craig's List car and don't feel like I really got it. Maybe that should be a warning to other prospective buyers (i.e. buyer beware)?

Hi All: Thanks to this forum I've already managed to install a Denison Gateway 500 in my wonderful black/black 2006 911 Carrera C2Cab. Just a few minor glitches when installing (blew a fuse/dropped a small screw driver behind the carpeting) but it works beautifully. I actually like using my USB hard drive with music on it more than my Ipod. Anyway, I just bought my car three weeks ago in LA (downtown LA dealer) and had it shipped up to Seattle. All the shipping etc went fine. I bought a Porsche Certified Pre-owned thinking that it would be in almost new condition, and the car itself is absolutely fantastic. Yet, it doesn't have all the manuals (though I was reassured that it did) and I only have one key. I've called the dealer and they said, "well it should have all the manuals" and "the other key should be around here somewhere...." Doesn't this seem a little shabby for a "Porsche Certified Pre-owned" (fancy-way-to-say-used) car? Thanks, Serge.
