    I'm pretty interested in this too. I went for manual air con due to the sales brochure stating you have the ability to set different temperatures for the upper and lower cabin areas. After looking long and hard and asking my local dealer, it seems this is not the case so I want to go for a climate upgrade. Loren's diagram is the correct unit for my car but doesn't climate need more than just a new control unit ?

    Thanks Loren. I don't get it either, I called them up, explained the issue, got booked in. When I turned up, they decided to change tact and asked me to wait 10 minutes so that they could hook my car up to check forlogged faults. When a fault wasn't logged, that's when they said there was nothing they could do. Wasted my time and fuel getting over there.

    My 987 has developed an odd fault. When starting from cold, I get a message of "indicator failure" with the coolant symbol next to the message. The coolant warning light continually flashes. The temp needle doesn;t move until the car is up to normal operating temperature then the needle jumps up to it's normal position, the message disappears and the flashing light stops. I took the car to my local OPC and they said no fault was logged and as they didn't see the message there was nothing they could do. Ah Ha, I thought, as I'd taken a pic with my camera phone and showed this to them. The OPC still refused to look at it. :angry: Sounds to me like a loose connection or something. Any ideas ? PS :renntech:

    I may be wrong, but don't 997's come with PCM as standard WITHOUT the navigation module. The option you may be looking at is to add just the navi module to an existing PCM. For the 987, you need PCM (screen) plus the navi module. I also believe the aerial elements for the 987 sat nav are embedded in the windscreen, but you may be able to get around this with an alternative one.

    This is a first post so go easy on me. I was told that Porsche regulalrly run a few Boxsters through Stuttgart as part of contingency planning if the relationship with Valmet ever went sour. Then they would still have the capability and knowledge on the production line tocontinue building Boxsters. This also adds to factory lead times quoted at 7 months when cars actually arrive in less than 3 in some instances. Again if things went wrong at Valmet and they switched production, Porsche could still safely quote the 7 month lead time and meet their contractual obligations.
