Today I had the brake fluid flushed and new DOT4 added.

I had the shop save me a 1/2 pint sample of both the old fluid and the new fluid.

I am in the process of testing both samples; will post pics and data…

I have this same radio in my ‘06 987

is it possible to integrate an iPhone connection ?

OK; I just had some 70K service done on my 2006 987, no problem.

But, in the recommendations box it says to replace the fuel pump and filter. 
I

Dont understand how that could be recommended on an excellent running. 987 !

any thoughts ?

I would like to get the part # info too. So when mine break, I’ll have the replacements.

Is there a DOT preference for 3 or 4 ?

PSM alert went off after driving a couple of miles. My belts came back without the buttons that keep the latch from falling. Sent SafetyRestore a message; maybe they don’t include the buttons ?

Big thanks for the tutorial; the red seat belts are in. 
One Question: The PSM alert is on, I read somewhere that is will go away after driving. Is that so ? Or, does my Indy have to reset the computer ?

I got the retractors out after a lot of twisting, prying, and swearing; what a fit 

Question: can I grind off. 1/4” off the end of that pin ? Or am I missing something ?

I’m going to do a conversion to red using “

How long is the webbing for each belt. ?

Update: I tried to rig up a siphon to start the draining in order to detect when the warning comes on. Well, the washer reservoir will not allow a tube to be inserted.

             So, I'll resume using the washers and when the light comes on; I'll measure the amount needed to fill.

Question: What is the capacity of the washer reservoir ? ; My car is an '06 987 

The washers were not used for approx 1 month. Today, I filled the washer tank again to Full. It took about 28 oz.

I am assuming the tank got filled at the start of my experiment. 
There is no signs of water on my gsrxge floor.

I think I’ll siphon out the water into quart bottles and see when thy he alert comes on

Good point.

I will check this weekend. I didn’t use the washer and the light hasn’t returned.

Will update 

Any tips on purchasing and having the PCCM installed. 

Still haven’t installed the sensor. Ran a test: I filled the reservoir to the top and used the windshield washers until the warning light came back on. Then refilled with a measured volume. The reservoir took 66 oz to refill; the warning light went back out.

My next test is to not use the washers for awhile, say a week or a month. Then check the level again and determine whether the reservoir leaks when driving.

Otherwise, now I’m going to tackle cleaning the top

This went smoothly. I was surprised at the dirt that got into the area where the headlight assembly sits.

I put silicon grease on the rails that the headlight use as guide. Went in very easy

After looking at a UTube video, it looks like the Round plug to the left is where the access is. 

My 2006 987 needs a headlight bulb replacement. I’m looking at the owners manual for guidance; but need a little help.

I opened the carpeting to view the plugged opening. There’s a lower black plug and an upper blue plug. Is the black plug ghe one I use ?

and are there any tricks to using the unlocking lever

I love the operation of the intermittent wiper operation on my 2006 base Boxster 987

My question : Where is the rain sensor located ?

And, how does is work ?

Ok, I locked the car with the key fob, the Central Locking  Switch flashes. 

According to the owners manual, the part just behind the windshield ( see pic above) is a temperature sensor and GPS antenna

If it’s in the same module as the manual spoiler switch, you may need to order a new module; also known as a Stab Switch.

Dealers can get you the right one based on just the VIN, mine cost around $125.

Ok, that’s what I thought. What would I do to activate it ?

I thought the part in the center was an alarm light, but not certain what is goes or how it works. It’s part 1 on the PET diagram IIRC
