Berni29 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hi Seat back, check the fuse first! Then make sure the connector under the seat is secure. Berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfirstboxster Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Oil pressure / temperature gauge part 2 , I thought the single oil pressure gauge looked a bit off so I added a oil temperature gauge just to balance things out a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevM79 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 2 new rear tyres today & came home to my Amazon £12 remote central locking kit. Really easy to wire, it took me longer to remove the passenger seat! I think I may have an issue within my drivers side lock mechanism though.... Removed the passenger seat to get access to the Immobiliser module: Where all the magic happens... So, as you can see below, you splice 4 wires (lock/unlock signals & L&R indicators), ground 2 more, find a permanent 12v and earth. It’s a 15 minute job once the seat is out the way. Module loom, I taped up the unused wires: Result!! 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 @KevM79 - if this substitution doesn't create any unexpected/undesirable outcomes then you may have personally saved a bunch of people some horrendous spend in the future. Please keep us posted on any wrinkles that emerge. Good. Work. Sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berni29 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi This is great. Shame it does not do the frunk/trunk, but that would be asking too much! So it locks and unlocks the car, but also sets the alarm? I think from memory when I use the key in the door to unlock my car it does not unlock the passenger one. I have to do that from inside. Maybe my car has a problem also, or maybe its normal. All the best Berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant claim this one to be fair, its been done before! @Berni29 , another 20mins would have the boot button working also, but I havent gotten round to it yet. My car has cable releases, but a 2-button key, so the rear lid does have a working actuator. I have a few wrinkles to iron, but we are 95% there.

Cheddar Bob Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I've ordered a few graphics for the box to spruce it up a little. Something for the bonnet, boot and the little wind deflector window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice surprise is that they have already rescinded the blanket 80km/h limit change on all roads that were previously 90km/h and raised the limit again on a lot of sections so makes N and D road driving more enjoyable again. Although I noted that The Netherlands is going down the 90 to 80km/h route later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berni29 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Hi I think the best matching ones come from the VDO range. I think the 5 bar versions are most appropriate. I wanted to do this but have done the console delete. I would like to find somewhere else to put the oil pressure.

stevemag Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Today I've ordered from Paul Adamson of this parish, the rear speaker grills and the 4" speaker hangers I'll soon have rear speakers in the 986...... Must get some actual speakers , speaker wire, connectors, plugs to attach to the rear of the cdr22 unit......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Berni I didn't really fancy splashing out for the VDO ones, as I am unsure if I would be happy the final result. But yes a 5 bar oil pressure gauge would be the appropriate choice with a volt meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(See 101 projects and threads on various forums), you get voltage and oil pressure gauges at the extremes of the dash that are blanked out on the 986. You'd need a good friend with PRS 2, PRS3 or PIWIS to reset mileage if the donor wasn't close to your mileage, programme in OBC, cruise etc. as applicable. With this you don't have to find anywhere to put them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berni29 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi Agree dash replacement would be best, and if the 996 dash was the same price as a gauge then I would consider it. Berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berni29 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Hi I fitted one of these cigarette lighter FM units today so I can stream music from the phone and make hands free calls. Works acceptably well and is a simple and cheap solution to the problem. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07XYY9W2X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Berni Edited July 27, 2020 by Berni29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
