When I was at the local dealer, it appeared that the gas cap/door is unlockable/unsecured. Is this accurate? Is it tied into central locking system? Dealer didn't know!!! If it is unsecured, does anybody know of a high quality locking gas cap for the 997? Preferably not a $12 Stant POS.

 

Yes, it is tied to the CLS.

 

Thanks. GREAT WEBSITE!!!!!

 

I found that one out a few months ago when I tried to be a little "safer" at the gas station and lock the car while pumping gas. I got out, locked the car, and then spent a couple minutes trying to figure out how the lid got frozen shut. Then I unlocked the car and marveled at how easy it was to raise the gas lid. (blush)

 

At least you blushed!!!! Dealer didn't.

 

Must be a german car thing. My '87 BMW does the same thing.

 

Porsche started doing this many years ago when gasoline was getting stolen out of their tanks in the 1960s.

 

Same here.

 

You guys know the outside mirrors are heated, standard too, right? And the windshield washer resevoir.


Gotta lotta love zee Germans.

 

I also learned there are headlight washers, too. Don't know when I would ever use them, except in my next off-road rally race.

 

I live in So Cal and don't even know where the switch is to turn on the headlight washers...Got em, never used em in 3 years!

 

I live in So Cal and don't even know where the switch is to turn on the wipers. Got 'em, never used 'em in nearly 4 years!

 

Where in hell does this damn key go? i can't wait to turn this think on....

 

You probably get more use out of the fire extinguisher.

 

zing!!!!!!!
