Thanx for the info, I have the durametric pro and shows no faults. I am fine without the dipping of the mirror, everything else works.

The "potentiometer" is actually the entire mirror motor assembly located behind the mirror. It is not a difficult job to replace it.

If your idling is rough, or your throttle body gets dirty,
specially those that use Gas with Ethanol, you can
turn the ignition switch ON, then OFF, then ON again
and Waite for about 1 minute.
You will then hear several clicks coming from the engine
compartment; the ECU will make the throttle butterfly
open and close several times, and possibly shake off some dirt.

I'm in CA so seat warmers aren't really a requirement for me (ironically, all of our cars have warmers) found out the other day that the seat warmers on the Porsche are dual stage. Press once, and you get the red light for high, and press again and the light turns yellow for medium heat.

Interior alarm
+1 on pushing the lock button twice rapidly will beep the horn once and disable the interior motion sensor so you can leave the dog in the car (don't ask), twisting the key in the door lock twice also works.

I bought mine and compared them to a friend's fabspeed headers. Aside being shinier and some of the weldings being beautiful on the fabspeed's the dimensions AFAIK are identical. I'v had them for over 3 years, no problem with them. Obviously, they're not shiny anymore but, who cares.

In every car I've owned, I always test the range of the car after it reaches the E mark on the gas gauge. Obviously, I carry a 2 gallon gas can when I do this. On my 03 C4S I've found that I can go 40 ish miles (going @ 60mph/24mpg) after my range on the trip computer states '--'.
Also, did you know that on a 03 C4S you can fit up to 62 liters (16.37 gals) of gas even though the manual says 57 liters (15 gals) when is really empty? I estimated that, once your range states '--' you have about 2 gals left. that is the best reserve of all the cars I've owned.
Welcome to try it some day. Make sure to carry a full gas can with you.
