Pedro, What are the other 981 regular maintenance tasks that require a Porsche specific PWIS or Durametric tool to accomplish? For example, break fluid flushing, spark plug replacement, etc.by Blackbird - Main Forum
Guenter--What battery maintainer brand/model # do you use for winter storage? How did you connect it (Directly to battery or using the cig. lighter type 12V outlet---I don't have a smoking package but have two 12V cig. lighter type outlets available). If connected to cig. type outlet, how is wire routed to the maintainer through the door--under seal at bottom with door fully closed? Tks.by Blackbird - Main Forum

Thank you Marc---very very helpful---Jerryby Blackbird - Main Forum
Thanks Marc, How does the pill work? It does not have battery power. When the key is inserted in the ignition switch, does the cars security module query the pill and read its ID and compare it to a list in the cars module for a go/no go decision to enable the car to start? If so, what mechanism is used to talk to the pill? What is the relationship between the button circuit board and the pilby Blackbird - Main Forum
Three button remote key for 2003 S problem: I don't get a light blinking(on key head) when any of the three buttons are pressed, the key battery is good, the key will not lock/unlock car or F/R trunks but does allow the car to start and backup key works fine. Does the above mean the key head needs to be replaced ($146 @ Suncoast) and reprogrammed ($ ?) and the old key blade inserted in new keyby Blackbird - Main Forum

I am interested in the TechnoFIX KIT and taking advantage of the "very attractive discount". However, I will not be at BRBS 15. Can you provide technical/cost/warrantee information in advance of BRBS 15 so I may make a decision and would I qualify for the discount if I ordered by Saturday but was not present?by Blackbird - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
You do not use a socket. Pull the bit out of the socket and use it with a wrench or needle nose vice grips.by Blackbird - Main Forum
I used a torx bit that was an insert to a socket. Then I held the bit with needle nose vise grips. You have to jack up the wheel to ease access, then use an open end wrench.by Blackbird - Main Forum
