- The bracket under the steering column is for the owners manual
- You can purchase a "red clip" (about $0.75) for your 996 Cab from Porsche that will allow you to activate the in car motion sensors if you park and lock the car with the top down (they are normally not active if the top is down).
- The dealer can program the door locks to automatically lock at speed with the PST2 tool
- If you don't change your yellow sidemarkers to clear sidemarkets Tim will make fun of you every time you post a picture.

You mean the one I drilled out and tossed...?
Hopefully NONE of need to have the owners manual that close at hand.
"...normally not active..."
That's strange, mine are active even with the sunroof fully open and both windows fully rolled down.

Oh, here's something I thought of...on the C4 cars with the "collapsed" spare tire, there's enough room under the trunk's false floor to squeeze a small set of jumper cables, among other things.

Here's a 996 factoid: A funny thing about the always controversial headlights . . . about 9 out of 10 non-porsche owners will pick the 996 as a newer model than the 997 based on looks.

Just catchin up GREAT THREAD! Did you know?....1. That you can operate the rear windows in a cabriolet by pushing in on the center top lock and pushing the rear window buttons at the same time? 2. you can roll down the windows and open the convertible top by pressing on the key in the door key lock. You can prevent the the battery losing charge while is short storage ( up to 10 days) if you lock the doors. Sport mufflers (Fabspeed) and Sprint Boosters are the two best additions that you can do to increase the enjoyment of your Pcar. I have a C4S TIP and proud of it. After having 6 Pcars all manual, including several with clutch pulley systems (356, 914 and 911 Targa)I love my Tiptronic S with paddle shifters in So Cal Traffic! I just feel sorry for all those 911 manuals, clutch pulling every 3 yards for 20 miles on the freeway.
