Options Decode Help.....

I've tried to decode the options for my car using the Rennlist decoder. However there are a few which aren't listed. Any clues about the following?

XRL
236
288
689
695

I'm hoping one of them is CD multichanger pre-wiring.

 
Not sure about XRL and 236 without further research, but the PET shows:

288 - Headlamp Washer
689 - Preparation for CD Changer
695 - CD-Radio CDR-22

You are in luck! Should have the bracket and cable in place.
 
That was quick! Many thanks. One of the options was a five digit which means it's from the "Exclusive Manufacture" range!!
 
XRL - 18" Sport Design Wheels
236 - 18" Tyres

Oh, and if you don't have the On-Board Computer, I know a guy down the road from you in Wallingford who can activate it for £100 - see www.wrightune.co.uk
 
I should have guessed about the wheels! It has an OBC already thanks, although I think the button on the dash makes far more sense than the column stalk. I miss having cruise control though. Tony's hardwiring my RoadAngel in next week in fact.

Now, anyone know where I can get a CDC-3 other than by spending a gazillion quid at Reading or bidding in Euros on eBay?
 
Is the cdc-3 the same as a Becker 2620. If so contact wwww.sempal.co.uk as they had some? in stock.
 
Does anybody know the what the following options are please

XRM
237
376

Have searched many sites and lists and can't find them anywhere
Thanks

I was just browsing the Design911 web site, and they have the CDC3 Changes for £150, plus VAT presumably.

Look in the Used Porsche Parts section.

XRM - XMR? - Leather sun visors?
237 - Don't know
376 - Sportseat backrest shell (right) - according to the PET
 
Thanks Richard. It was £150 + £9.95 postage in fact. Arrives Wednesday. [;)] Hopefully I can persuade Tony to fit that as well.....

What year is your car? If it is a facelift model with fly-by-wire throttle (e-gas to the Americans) then I think cruise control can be retro-fitted relatively easily. There are a few threads on this subject at www.renntech.org

It's a 2001X pre-facelift car so AFAIK it's fly-by-wire (I thought e-gas was a Yorkshire expression!). Will have a look at Renntech although, it'll probably be ££££ to do it properly.
 
John

If it's a 3.4 then it is a cable throttle, and the retrofit is complicated and expensive. 3.6 engines with electronic throttle can be retrofitted with cruise relatively cheaply. There is a Renntech thread on how to do it on a Boxster, and a chap from somewhere in the UK did a splendid write-up. Cost him about £90 in parts to do the cruise and OBC retrofit combined.
 
I sit corrected. I was under the impression C4s had the FBW throttle irrespective of age. Ah well, umbrella on the accelerator it is then. [:D]
 
No, John, it's me who sits/stands corrected. You are right - apparently all C4's are FBW throttle, I have just found out. I'll make some more enquiries about the cruise retrofit.

BTW, in Yorkshire it's probably e-by-gas!
 
Hi John

I have done a bit of digging, and it looks like it would be possible to retrofit the cruise relatively easily. It involves fitting a new 4-lever switch stalk, connecting it up to the DME, instrument cluster, and fuse box, and then activating it with a PST2.

I have spoken to Tony, and he will work out what it costs, so you can decide if it's worth doing.
 
I am at the point of giving up as I didn't get much response from an OPC I phoned
[:mad:]

My 1998 C2 has option 014 which I found from the PET CD is 'Sports Package 996' so what does this consist of ?, the other options on the sticker decode as Sports Suspension, Sports Seats, TC, LSD, etc; but what does the 014 actually refer to, does anybody know ?

Thanks

Mark
