Hey folks,

Mean while back at the farm.....Uncle Jessie.............................

I have a 996 01 and 2007 997.1 GT3. In the 996 Carrera the windows can be opened and closed with the key in the door by turning forward and back. Not so in the GT3. Any thoughts? Is this a setting the dealership has to activate? In the trailer the door cannot be opened so I have to climb out of the window Dukes of Hazard Style. It would be nice to be able to shut the window with the key from the outside and reopen later.

Thanks!!

One of the features on the remote key for 997.

It is something that the dealer can program but it seems that most don't know how to do it. A number of Cayman owners have had it done but a far larger number has been told it's not possible. The steps are listed here:

Edit:
One more thing. Changing those parameters can also be done with a Durametric Professional version. Instructions for that are here:

i would still vote for mods4cars unit. it is true - it does not do anything your car does not know how to do already, so it is possible to have most features activated with PIWIS or durametric pro but with mods4cars box you can turn it off or on yourself as you want and you also get passenger mirror to tilt down when you get in reverse gear, all in all it is not such big of expense but works very nicely. plus dealers will not do some things mods4cars does - like windows closing with 1 tough, etc., as it is considered a 'safety hazard' in USA.

That's crazy! My pickup truck and my 11-year old 911 will allow a window to be raised or lowered with the key but a $90 4-year old 911 does not have that without jumping through hoops!!!

Why not close the windows with your remote key?

tscanlan

The key fob does open the windows.

delanobe

Yes, it opens and closes the windows.
Why do it in the key hole if you can do it with the remote?

How do you open and close the windows with the fob? Didn't know this was a feature.

in my car i can open it with remote but cant close it

utkinpol

same on mine, it does not close, only opens.

Okay, just walked in from my garage. I have my 996 and 997 side-by-side. The 996 windows go down when the key is turned in the door and close when the key is turned in the opposite direction.

997, nothing happens at all.

Does the windows go down on the 997 when you hold the key fob ?

delanobe

Just tested this and mine does go up or down with the remote.

Cheers
