Dash Buzz
dimsdale replied to dazzpowder's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
Are you sure it's not the rear view mirror? I had a buzz from the mirror, but it sounded like it was coming from the sport chrono, and all kinds of other places. Next time you hear hit, try (gently) pulling and twisting on the mirron and its base. Just a thought since you appear to be at wits end. -
Thinking about changing my own oil on the 2007 997 C4S. Are there any DYI tips around for that? thanks!

The dimensions are only correct if you use the 2/2S specifications. The manual says the 2S can have front 235/40 R 18 and rear 265/40 R 18 <-this is what I have from TireRack or front 235/35 R 19 and rear 295/30 R 19 The manual says that the 4/4S needs front 235/40 R 18 and rear 295/35 R 18 or front 235/35 R 19 and rear 295/30 R 19 Doing the math, the 4/4S setup has a closer revs/mile than the 2/2S setups. The fact that Porsche explicitly recommends my TireRack setup for the 2/2S and NOT for the 4/4S gives me some concern.

TireRack sold me a winter setup which is on the car now, and I just did the math and I'm not sure about it. Thought I'd check in here. The revs/mile different between the front and rear for the TireRack setup are twice that of the factory recommended setup. TireRack sold me this: Rear: 265/40/18, which has revs/mi of 765 Front: 235/40/18, which as revs/mi of 794 Difference: 29 revs/mi or 3.79% more revs/mi on the front. The Porsche recommended setup for winter tires is: Rear: 295/30/19, which has revs/mi of 777 Front: 235/35/19, which has revs/mi of 792. Difference: 15 revs/mi or 1.93% more revs/mi on the front. They swear this is OK. Obviously, my concern is the center diff. Anyone have any opinions on this? Many thanks in advance.

Yes.... I have an '08 C2 with the sport chrono package plus and was able to activate DRL's through the PCM. Also, I was able to activate the automatic door locking system. Great that Porsche put this in our hands. Harvey in Md I have a 2007 C4S with sport chrono and NAV and I can set the DRLs in the PCM screen. One note! The car has to be "On" (but not necessarily running). I tried to do it with the key in the ignition, and couldn't do it. Tried again in "on" position and could get to the screen. I think you get to it by going to "MAIN" and then hitting "SET" and dialing to the "Indiv Mem" option from there.

I'm looking to hardwire my V1 into a 12V source from the interior lighting pod by the rearview mirror on my 2007 C4S. This would be light pod "1" in this diagram: http://www.autoatlanta.com/model/997-05-08/903-04.htm There are four wires that connect pod 1 to the car. I'm guessing there is a ground and a 12V source. Has anyone looked into this before? The center bulb is at 12V. http://www.autoatlanta.net/action.lasso?-d...=10&-search I'm getting ready to get out the voltmeter, but I just thought I'd ask around here first. I'm guessing there is a 12V, 6V, ground, and ?? (And btw, I do realize that this source would not be switched with the ignition). Thanks!
