    Some people prefer a stock solution even if the non-stock option provides in some cases better functionality and is cheaper.

    Well I know you are desperate to have one for sure ........ I have just ordered one for my manual 3.4 Boxster and I can appreciate why you would want one given the customer satisfaction of this 'Manual' version. I hope they will make one for the Tip. - Nick (also Nick_USA) on Cayman Club and region 1 coordinator.

    Here are some sound clips from a 'Green' Cayman S...... and

    If you want one ask your dealer to order it from Germany.

    Answered here: PCM Link but in summary you need someone with either a PST2 or PIWIS to re-code the PCM MMI functions.
  7. Nick_USA
    You need someone with either a PST2 or PIWIS to change the car type from 'Cabrio' to 'Coupe' in the PCM MMI settings. Yes I did get this to work...... You then get the fader to work on the sound settings and not just the balance.

    It's more than likely to be the switch on the gearbox.

    1. Extend out the steering column to allow better access. 2. Unscrew fastrening screws on the steering column trim panel and remove the upper part of the steering column trim panel. 3. Fit the microphone into the upper part of the trim panel and secure. 4. Route the wiring round to the PCM tooki unit. 5. Refit trim panel and adjust steering column.

    No it is not something that a dealer would do.

    Thank you!The Dealer where I bought the parts gave me a copy of the TSB, so I knew going in the time estimate. That is the primary reason I'm so annoyed with my local Dealer. They never bothered to look! Just out of curiousity, how can I access the Cayman Club? My appointment to install is tomorrow. Maybe it will help me to better understand what they are doing. Don Here... Cayman Club the articles in question are.... PCM Install part 1 and PCM Install part 2

    PASM isn't something that Porsche made easy for an after market install as while you can get the sensors and shocks there is a different wiring loom for the car. I have never known someone to try this. Sports Chrono minus the display on the dash has been added by a software upload to the DME, it would be a permanent version although there was talk of adding the button but Porsche in their wisdom made this harder when on a recent upgrade to the PIWIS removed the ability to change this on a car without the option. The DME upgrade can be found online check out the company softronic on the web. Not only does the upgrade add the Sports Chrono setting (on request) it also adds mapping for the higher octane fuels plus some extra hp don't ask me how much ask the company how much. I recall the cost was around $895.

    Great news and write up for all to see.... A question for you, as the car was taxed and registered in the US surely you could have driven it using this for a period of time whilst you deal with the import. In my opinion would be no different than a German driving his car across from Europe on vacation then heading back after. I suppose the trick here would be to get a US insurance company to provide cover for the UK. With shipping did you disconnect the battery or if not did the keys go with the car?
  14. Nick_USA
    Apparently you can, not that anyone would ever do that ;), and even if I knew someone who has, the disc they may have copied would have been the US version.
  15. Nick_USA
    Missed the post.... yep it's a real shame.... maybe one day!!!!
  16. Nick_USA
    Is there or has there ever been Renntech decals? If not do we think we should have some?
  17. Nick_USA
    My 2 cents.... If your car is still under warranty then you should stick to what is recommended....after that it's up to you. But I wouldn't like to have a warranty claim rejected because I didn't have an approved oil in the car.

    The lower lip is 997 505 996 90 and you will have to drill the GT3 part. However, the spoiler with the holes pre-drilled for the lower lip is 997 505 983 93

    You do not refit the plastic cube on the short shifter install. The ball runs on its own in the slot with a little grease.
  20. Nick_USA
    The fibre optic cable is a 'ring' ie to work it must either route through the changer or 1. the cable replaced or 2. a loop back cable added. The later I think you can get but it isn't a porsche part.
  21. Nick_USA
    A question for you, why didn't you install it in the steering column? I have checked and the suround is removed by undoing 2 screws and removing the suround.
  22. Nick_USA
    ...and the price of the group buy would be?
  23. Nick_USA
    OK you did ask..... A dynamic decorrelator for surround sound signals is disclosed. In one embodiment, a mono detection circuit is used to detect the extent to which a left rear surround input signal and a right rear surround input signal are similar. To the extent that the surround input signals are similar, the signals are decorrelated. Decorrelation is performed by a pair of allpass filters that introduce complementary phase shifts in the left rear surround input signal and the right rear surround input signal. The complementary phase shifts are sufficient to prevent the surround signals from collapsing to the front of the listener when they are rendered using a pair of front speakers.

    Loren, that is true, however, the guy appears to be in the UK and they do not get a 4 year from new warranty like we do in the US. The nozzle is in two parts the tip which can be removed (unlikely to be this as its just a spray nozzle) and the lower stalk which comes up on operation part # 997 628 133 00. To remove this and it does need the bumper removed: Press both retaining lugs of spray nozzle together and remove it from front apron Release quick connecting lock of water connection and pull away from the spray nozzle Insert spray nozzle in front apron until it engages Push water hose onto spray nozzle until it is felt to engage

    The microphone that comes with the Tooki seems to work very well for me, according to feedback from people I've called from the car. Of course, I have a coupe. On the advice of my installer, my mic is mounted near the center of the car just to the left of the Homelink panel above the inside rearview mirror. I assume it would also work in the 'stock' position. It's just a pain perhaps to remove the plastic trim around the steering wheel.
