    I was having this problem (2005 MY) and replaced the battery inside the key. Whether it's coincidental or not that fixed the problem. I'm thinking that the transponder uses some current? Or maybe merely the act of dismantling and reassembling the key to exchange the battery put things right?

    +1 on this setup, I have the same on my 2005 C2S. Nice tires and the "sportcup" rims from Tirerack are fine for the winter use.

    Thanks for the advice Phil. I was originally looking at 996's but after reading about the issues they have I thought an 05 997 would be a better buy. I guess I'll have to go one notch higher and start looking at 06's. I read that some of the 05's have the larger IMS bearing - does this mean they would be just as reliable as an 06? How can one tell if an 05 has one of these engines? The engines did not get the update until mid 06 model year. Sorry, but Porsche did not publish a change-over VIN or build date (to our knowledge). I don't think that's 100% accurate. I opened up my 2005 C2S to do the LN Engineering upgrade only to find that it already had the upgraded IMS from the factory. I think the changeover occurred at some point for MY 2005 cars -- I don't know precisely when. I didn't buy the car new, (I'm the second owner) but it was delivered in May 2005. Safe to say that not ALL 2005 cars should be tossed under the bus.

    Good timing -- I have the same issue. Broke off my face while inserting a SIM card. It's a delicate thing. However, my unit is still functional -- the drawer still slides in and out, it just looks a little "off" without the face on it. Thinking about just gluing it on, or simply going without.

    +1 on the Dakota Combi. It's a backless booster, fits like a glove, looks good and is only about 35 bucks.
