OBD II plug under the dash board?

I sent you a PM with some info...

Loren,

Something funny happened with my race car and I don't know what it is... The RPM should have been a white wire and the throttle position a yellow and black.

I could never find the yellow and black but I did find the white and guess what... NOTHING was logging.

I finally got the RPM signal from the violet/green wire in the OBD II plug, conveniently located in the middle of the rear section.

Thanks for everything!

JM

No, it's a cup car so the OBD II plug is in the middle, behind the only seat.

Is this what you need?

Close but no cigar yet. It's the diagram that shows every pin that goes in the DME e.g. pin 80 = rpm signal pin 81 = ... etc

My manuals (pdf versions...) has everything except that! I have the 964 and 993 manuals and they have a very simple page with a view of the connector and next to each pin the function...

TIA

Can someone please let me know the pin code on the pre 2001 ECU?

I can't find it in any of my manuals and need it for a data logger - this is for a cup car but until 2001 the ecus were the same

Before you dismiss this post, I have searched this and other news groups for this topic and have not

found a definitive answer. Most of what I have found is relevant for pre 02 cars

that can be retrofited with the Litronics kit or pertains to retrofitting non projector type headlights.

I am looking to improve the lighting on my US 2002 996 C2:

1) What is involved with a stock bi-xenon retrofit?

What is the final word on the autoleveling and wiring?

2) Regarding the HID retrofit kits (e.g. http://www.xtralights.com/index.asp?PageAc...PROD&ProdID=14)

o What are the long term effects on the lens, mirror and headlamp housing?

Any personal experiences?

HIDs use 35 Watt bulbs, supposedly produce less heat but output more light in the visible range.

o What are the effects on the beam pattern?

The HID bulbs are longer and therefore may mess up the beam pattern.

What are your experienes?

Note:

The 02 has the projector type headlight units (see below) and the pattern has a sharp

horizontal cut off similar to our Xenon equiped 3 series BMW. The pattern is also much wider

compared to typical US style beam patterns. I believe this is the cause of apparent

lack of lighting, it's spread out more. When I first got the car I pulled over to

see whether the lights were actually working. High beams are fabulous though.

I already tried the Sylvania Silverstars and found the improvement underwhelming:

Can you tell the difference?

Thanks.

I'm working on the same projects for my wife's Cayenne S and my dad's 2003... Call Eli at Pelican Parts. He says you just need 2 harnesses and the Litronics (ebay is a good place for that)...

JM

Has anyone succesffull upgraded an 03 car to Litronics?

I've read all the posts and it would seem that new harnesses are needed on both sides of the car - possibly not that big a deal...

Would love first hand feedback and part numbers if you have them...

I also mailed Eli at Pelican and Gert. If I get anything back I'll post for all to see.

I'd like to do this over xmas.

JM

Is that a Ferrari you speak of?  They do not always look great, not that they are expensive so you can experiment.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, I actually bought some and they look OK

JM

So guys, was this thread ever closed? Has anyone figured it out?

Guys,

I remember that Gert and a group were trying to figure it out.

Anyone cracked the nut? Looking for a Xmas present for my dad and if I knew how to do it, I think that he would love this in his 2003 996

JM

Thanks. Very interesting but I need H3B lights

Worth looking at through!

All the best

JM

Guys,

Has anyone tried to install a Xenon retrofit kit other than the Porsche OEM?

I am very interested in doing it in my F360 and can't find anyone who's done it to talk about it...

TIA

JM

I don't know about the TP High Speed but on the old model TP there is an input for the telephone audio. Becker sells a cable to make the connection. Another option is to just use a Bluetooth wireless headpiece and save the money and trouble of installing the car kit. That's what I ended up doing.

Karl

The High Speed has the same 2 wires as the one I sold you. The only worry I have is whether I need to install some electric circuit in-between the radio and the phone. i also have a blue tooth earpiece but hate it...

Plus with an 8700 RPM redline V8, the earpiece blocks some of the music ;)

We need to talk about Quaker...

JM

Guys,

I purchased a 360 Modena in the Uk and want to install a traffic pro high speed and Nokia blue tooth car kit.

I was wondering if I could run the sound from the phone through the radio rather than a seperate speaker. I seem to remember doing that a few years back but I'm really not sure anymore... Can someone help?

Oh and BTW, if someone has done this in a 360, please e-mail me...

TIA

JM

jrotsaert@btinternet.com

I have a cable ready made. It's not as simple as it seems. You need to build a frequency converter in the wire. See details at

http://www.cb-racing.com/logger-installation.htm

I recommend that you e-mail Christopher Brown at CB Racing

He did it for his Boxster and sold me the same that he had done (version 1 did not have the frequency converted and did not work well)

All the best

JM

Many thanks for taking the time to do this for me. See the issue, is that my calipers are currently off (had them powder coated red) and I couldn't find out how to get the cylinders to pop out gently... I guess I'll do it once they will be connected to the brake system

Thanks again

JM

Thanks for that. I do have the old ones off already. Do you mean that I just need to pop them in the new ones? It seems very odd as the bit that needs to go under the groove under the piston will presumably never catch the lip then....

Maybe I didn't get it. I thought that I needed to get the pistons out first...

Any further clarification you can give me would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

JM

Guys,

Had my black calipers powder coated red. Great stuff, however the guy that did the job did not mask the seals and there are now ready to crack (not because of the heat, because of the paint...).

I ordered replacement seals from Gert but I am struggling understand how to install them and cannot find anything about them in the workshop manuals...

Anyone can help?

Thanks

JM

Could someone please tell me what connector pin on the PCM II I can connect my bluetooth interrupt line to? My manuals stop in 2001 and I need the 2003 version...

TIA

JM :cheers:

Jean-Marc, will you do the left-hand drive to right-hand drive DIY kit before you go to London or after you get there? :D

Done already... 997 C2S ordered, delivery September '04...

I'm taking the 996 with me though!

Karl,

It did that was in my car also and the PCMII that I have in my new car also does it... Not sure why, but I'm pretty sure that it's "normal"

JM in Dallas and soon to be in London!

You don't need anything for the front. Porsche has 2 holes along the front of the body that they use for when the cars get on the boats. You put a hook in there and with a long strap bring them in X shape to the back of the trailer. For the back, I used the autometrics parts or going through the wheels - I was always worried about my alignment doing that but really never felt any problem

JM

Does your car have a stock air filter? Quite a few people that messed with the air intake back in 1999 reported similar problems

JM

I would say time for a dealer visit... My language loads in less then 2 minutes when I change CDs... Sorry

JM

No they don't. BTW, if you're interested I have brand new yellow seat belts for '98-01 cars that I will let go for 50 cents on the dollar

JM

I did the install following Loren's TSB and had no issues at all. I'd say that it's a 3 to 4 hr job REALLY taking your time and counting 30 minutes to lift the car

JM
