Is the 4 stalk switch with the number 996.613.219.00EAK the same as the newer part with the number 996.613.219.10EWC?
Is the older version compatible with that required for a 2004 Boxster S if not will it go into a 2000 996 C2?
I know there are many posts for the retrofit but for the 2000 996 C2 which has cruise as standard and assuming the OBC is enabled. Do you still have to run the power and ground to the switch or is it a much simpler retrofit?
Hi Nick, I used 996.613.219.10EWC on my 03 Boxster S so I can't really comment on that but I can confirm you have to run power and ground, both are easy though. The power can come from a wire tab behind the fuse box and for the ground there is a convenient screw behind the cluster that is often used for OBC anyway.
Chris.
Thanks for the update on the Boxster information. However, on the 996 with cruise is there an existing power feed to the 3 stalk switch that can be utilised? (Got rid of wifes TT roadster, she now has the 996)

Hi there, Thanks for having such an informative forum. I just purchased a black 2004 911 (996) C4S and I love this car! The most amazing ride I have ever driven.
That being said, I need some help. The car did not come with a navigation manual, it is a stock navi system with bose speakers. Is there a downloadable version in the forum (I couldn't find one). Or will I have to order it from the dealer? Any insight, please let me know.
Thanks!
The manual you are after is available to from the drop down list above under the Porsche Owners Manuals. Slect this then the Becker/Porsche Manual. The PCM manual is listed here.

C2 should have a spare tire which has an opening for the windstop. C4 has a separate windstop bag.
I am aware that the C2 bag clips onto/over the spare wheel.
I am picking up a wind stop 2nd hand but no bag....so if you know the part number.....
-
Part number for the storage bag for the wind stop fitted to a 2000 C2

I was comparing the opening sequencing of the cabrio top on my Boxster against that of my wifes 996 cab and noticed something very different.....
When you unlock the latch on the Boxster the windows drop about 6 inches to allow the top to open, but stay this way when the top is fully open.
On my wifes 996 cab, the windows drop in a similar way when you use the switch to open the top. However on the 996 when the top is fully open the windows return to the closed position. Much more useful I hear you say.
So why the difference or is this a fault on my Boxster ???
-
Does the wheel tracking need adjusting post the installation of the stock 5mm wheel spacers?
-
-
So does anyone know who supplies these ?
-
Hey, just to let you know you are not alone on this I just posted yesterday on this exact same thing in my 99 C2. As a matter of fact I have a couple of responses you might want to look down the page at please help 6 spd problem. JR
Do either of you have the short shifter fitted to your cars ?
-
-
No, I don't think so. The center vent shape is different on the MY02 and newer cars.A follow-up question, can the individual pieces of the surround be replaced by the single horseshoe as fitted to the later models?But if you want to try I can get you the parts lists...
I may try this as we also have a Boxster (assuming the parts ar the same) that we can swap the parts from to at least see if this is feasible. I will let you know how we get on.

Option code X54 is not in the code look-up so what is it ??

-
Model year of your car please and color of surround?
2000 996 C2 Cab - Black Surround
thanks

Nick the part number you want is 000 044 500 09. This part number is listed in both Techquipment books for the 987 and 986. Make sure you use the 5 mm longer wheel bolts too!
Great many thanks
-
Are the 5mm wheel spacers fitted to the 987 the same as the ones that were fitted to the 986?
-
Part numbers for the 'horseshoe' parts that surround the radio and air-conditioning controller.
(not the single 'horseshoe' that is fitted in the latter models but the left/right and top seperate parts.)
-
I concur with that too having had two visits to the OPC, they wouldn't let me anywhere near the test set though!
So is there someone across this side with a PST2 I ask myself?
-
This was the info I gave to the OPC with no joy. I just would like to try this myself without the sceptical/costly guy from the OPC.
-
Does anyone have access to a PST2 that I can use to enable the OBC and cruise on my 04 Boxster S?
I have tried two local OPCs and their PIWIS with no joy even with the detailed instructions from here, so maybe its locked out.
So if anyone can help with a PST2 that would be great.
-
...and still no OBC enable
-
All of you need glasses as the 'rectangle' as you call it has a corner missing (top left) so I correct you all in saying it is just a yellow line!!
-
The instrument cluster changed in 2001. If you have the OBC turned on for a 2001-2004 you will not see anything unless you retrofit a switch or stalk. And with a 2003-4 there is an extra step that usually needs to be done before it can be turned on.
...and the extra step is ?
