  1. Loren, I had it checked out. They could find no fault codes and could not clear them. They suggested it might be a bad level sensor but had no explanation as to why that would not register a fault code. Do I replace the reserve ware sensor or pull the light bulb?
  2. Loren, It is the Brake (fluid level/distribution) warning light I'm having problems with.
  3. At 65K on MY2002 Targa, my Brake (fluid level/distribution) warning light came on. A check shows no fault codes, so nothing to clear. Had the brake fluid replaced at 60K service. How do I clear out the brake warning light without just pulling out the brake dash light bulb?
  4. It is cemented in, but I used a very small screw driver to wedge it out. The 996 tube is slightly longer so I hot glued it in with the far end pointing slightly up. The remote will definitely not work but the guts from a 996 (coupe) should fit.
  5. I have a 997.2 key head and swapped out the glass tube (not the immobilizer) so the key works. The remote does not work with a 996 (different immobilizer), but you should be able to switch out the guts if you have a coupe. I have a 3 button targa and need to fabricate a silicone insert to make the 996 targa guts work with the head. Don't know why you would need to do any fabrication but post your pictures.
  6. The Targa has an OEM roof transport system! It is specific to Targas and lists for around $600 but if you google it, you might find it for just over $400. Good luck! Also, mine does not squeak anymore than my coupe did.
  7. My local dealer's service department confirms that at least one customer has a 997.2 two button remote fob working on a 996 coupe. Since they did not program it, they were unable to confirm if it was operating on the integrated 315Mhz transmitter or if the electronics were imported from the integrated transmitter from a Carrera GT design fob which they had previously mated for the customer. Since one of my two fobs is not transmitting, I will pick up a 3 button 997.2 and try to get my Targa matted to it. If it doesn't work, it will be a snappy looking spare key.

  8. Isn't that because the Design Key fob only has 2 buttons and a Cabriolet and Targa have 3? But my question is can the 997.2 Targa fob be mated to the 996 Targa?No - they are different immobilizers.I was told by the dealer that a 996 Coupe fob can be mated to a 996 Targa if you give up a button (The dealer can program the second button to do what you like - just had that done), so if the Design Key fob will work with a 996 Coupe wouldn't it work with a 996 Targa (I remember reading that in your forum)? Since the Design Key and the 997.2 fob have the same electronics, doesn't that mean that it would also mate irrespective of the different immobilizer?

  10. I've read that a 996 can be programed to accept a signal from Carrera GT fob and that a 997 and Carrera GT have the same electronics. The new 997.2 fob apparently works on the 997.1, so can a 997.2 fob update be possible? How about for the 3 button Targa?
