moonshine Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Went to my local car hifi chap to upgrade the speakers in my SSP sound system. Aborted tho before he got going as once he disassembled the doors and removed the PCM 4.0, It transpired the factory mids had a resistance of 10 ohm and changing speakers to 3ohm would have sounded cr*p Upgrade options are limited to major works (~£3k) and I can't in good faith think that it is worth it Edited April 27, 2022 by moonshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Fitted a FitcamX dash cam (4k, 64GB, £170) (front only) For the 718 /981, you need model C. It does not power from the rear view mirror - it comes with a power cable with 3 strands, one is fused and plugs into a free fuse space on the Hot lines of the fuse box (lines B and C) and one is fused and plugs into a free fuse space on the ACC switched fuse line (line D) the final cable goes to chassis ground stud beside the fuse box. delivery took a couple of weeks. DIY Installation in <40min, looks OEM, Replacing the mirror swivel cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iborguk Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Stuck 70 miles on it and there was no return of the misfire as expected. Drove it both roof up and down dodging the rain. It feels a great place to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Skim read the basics of my drivers manual and checked my coolant. Received a refund of VED for the 987.2 I traded in, every little helps. Edited June 4, 2022 by iborguk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Verified my Ctek can charge it from the cigarette lighter socket (car has the smoker's package). Manual mentions the charging procedure off the battery itself but I saw the latest Porsche battery conditioner is supplied with the cigarette lighter cable https://content3.eu.porsche.com/prod/pag/tequipment/TeqFinder.nsf/TeqFinder?ReadForm&ma=PCGB (RL)&co=30&sp=1&ba=718&bt=982&mo=718 Boxster&ka=&kiosk=&ac=product&pr=FD93B41BA087555CC1257D12003DE273 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've not tested this out myself yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 3 Ctek chargers, but never once used the cigarette lighter adaptor, as I've always hard-wired straight to the battery using the standard eyelet connectors that come with the charger.

Menoporsche Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 My 987.1 cig lighter is inactive after about 20 mins IF not used. So I plug mine in straight after parking and it seems to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
