Title says it all. Is the key out of the ignition sufficient or do I need to disconnect the battery as well?

TIA

mooty

well, it is summer of 2006 here in CA.
so you got the car?

i disconnected the battery and it worked. never tried the key out of ignition method.

LVDell

Nope, no car just yet. But doing a GT3 seat insall in my plain ole 996. I figured the battery disconnnect would be the best.

The air bag is activated by the key in the ignition.
That's why so many air bag lights after changing seats, the steering wheel or doing the OBC hack.

Yup, just key out, put it in the door. Don't listen to the radio during the procedure
Also during the procedure if you flip the door latches to "closed" the lights on the doors will turn off to save the battery. To unlatch, just lift the handle as if you were opening a closed door.

if you are doing the rollbar too..it's best to disconnect the battery cuz while you are horsing in the bar you can set off an airbag...

LVDell

I went ahead and disconnected the bar since I had the harness bar, the seats, and a few other misc projects. All done though.

Appreciate the input from everybody!

Of to the track in the morning :brunout:

mooty

have fun dell.
now you are experience in installing all the fun stuff, i bet the itchy for GT3 is getting worse LOL.

LVDell

Well, just got back from the track and the seats were fantastic! Bad news is my weekend is over. Blown oil/air seperator

Loaded her back in the trailer and came home to a matini!

Please, pardon my ignorance. What's an oil/air separator?

LVDell

Try asking if Porsche would cover it using the "Good Will" program.
