  1. I have a problem.... I have bought a pcm1 16bits navigation 996.642.122.12 EWD When I switch on the NAVI IS OK, (I can insert cd) but after 12-15 seconds the two leds lit on and off (flashing) and display says: "wait........" but there is no end, I can not introduce CODE and cd slot don´t work. I dont know what to do, please help!!
  2. I need to know which disk (or file) is necessary to update version 3.85 to 5.43 when old pcm1 8 bits is replaced by new pcm1 16bits. That´s all :cursing: Regards.
  3. Yeah, now there are three options,.. including black cap.
  4. 996.642.131.05 I think it is pcm nav unit........... 8 or 16 bits? What is? :lightbulb:
  5. I would like to know if a PCM 04/2001 is 8 or 16 bits. Regards.
  6. I want to update my old PCM1 8 bits to PCM1 16 bits Navigation System and I need help. 1) Only Changing cd reader should be necessary? 2) How is the procedure? I need all info about this. Is it easy? (plug and play). Can I do myself? :help: :help: :help: Boxster MY99 2.5 Row. Manual Transmission Best Regards.
  7. Sandy, when key is in position "1" with engine off (before ignition) What about digital displays illumination? is It controlled by sensor? :lightbulb:
  8. I think Sensor illumination is off when exterior lights are on. Digital D display only can be controlled by left hand knob.
  9. After reading your post I suppose 0586lb is in the right way Let´s see.... ..... there are two kinds of illumination in cluster: 1) Entire panel: Only lights when switch exterior lights. Can be adjusted by switch on cluster. 2) Digital displays: can not be adjusted by switch on cluster. Here is where sensor illumination works. When environment light is dark, digital display is darker. When environment light is clear, digital display is clearer. Always to keep optimal vision of digital displays. Am I right? :) :) :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Please confirm my reply.....

  11. Illumination control does not work with lights on. When lights on, intensity can be changed with switch. When lights off, cluster is not lit.
  12. But then... cluster is ALWAYS lit? (with more or less intensity....)
  13. Loren, when lights are off.... cluster is illuminated?
  14. Yes, that works! when lights are on the switch works ok ... But when lights are off No light on cluster !! .... <_< <_< <_<
  15. A MY01 Boxster cluster is the newer type and quite different from the pre MY01 cars - apples and oranges. Here is the cluster arrangement for a MY99 Boxster (from the service manual): Item 10 - Q is the check engine light (CEL) - it will light up solid if there is an emissions fault. If there is an emissions fault that could damage the catalytic convertors then it will flash. The car should not be driven if the CEL is flashing. There is no "CAT" light. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But then my sensor illumination doesn´t work....... because there is no illumination when lights are off and environment is dark ........ When "sensor illumination" works ? I need info to know if I have a problem. :o
  16. Here a pic to explain....." :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:
  17. Thanks for your help!! 1. There is a illumination sensor just on tachometer, when headlights are off, this sensor catchs exterior light and gives accurate light intensity on board instrument. But Mine only light up when position lights are on. 2. "Boot Ajar"? :o 3. Ok, I see it is normal 4. CAT light is always off, even when turning key, ......broken bulb?
  18. I have some questions after reading owner manual boxster MY01. My 986 is MY99. 1. There is a illumination sensor on board to give accurate intensity to light board. My On board instruments only turns on when position light is on. Is it broken? 2. To turn key, fourteen warning lights turn on, but there is no light for luggage compartments lids. Is it broken? 3. In owner manual, digital speedometer is under analogic speedometer, but my digital speedometer is in centre, just under tachometer. ... Is it normal? 4. I have been able to see a warning light turned off with "CAT" or so, in yellow. What Is? :help: :help: :help: Regards.
