Yesterday I changed the battery on my 2014 981 Boxster S. I used a power source to keep settings. After replacement I told car battery was changed ( no change to battery type or AH rating ) and also did a full scan of codes - most were trivial and cleared. One code from Front end controller - key battery flat will not clear -- I tried replacing fob battery but code still will not clear -- anyby JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
The glass window has started to separate from my Boxster top -- the rest of the top is fine -- is it possible to reglue? Can this be done successfully - if so any shops in South Florida that could do it??by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
If you look at older Ferraris and Aston Martin and Audi R8 you will see all of them with the manual bringing more than the auto, even if the auto is a single or dual clutch box. Time will tell if the Porsche will do same but I guess it will. My 981 is a PDK, but I plan on hanging onto my C7 Z51 Corvette with 7 speed and Aston V8 Vantage with 6 speed.

My dealer told me my 2014 Boxster S is due for these updates: WF27: Perform PCM (with XM radio) update - WF86: Re-program DME - WKJ3: Replacing tank leakage diagnostic module. I am not having any issues with car and subscribe to the if not broken philosophy. Has anyone had these done and if so experiences. Where is the tank leakage diagnostic module located? that one gives me pause.by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum

I have the Durametric Cable and software for the car - the PDK controller has not logged any faults; I checked all of the controllers - no faults loggedby JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
I have a 2014 Boxster S, PDK with Sport Crono option. In the last month twice when I put the car into Sport mode the PDK continued to operate in normal mode. It would upshift etc. in the normal mode all the way to 7th at low speeds instead of holding at 6th. After 5-10 minutes of driving the car returned to operating in sport mode I think.

Here is a picture of the camera install on my 981 .by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
This is the part , plus you need a backup camera to go above the license plate. The entire install with parts and labor was $1100. My car does not have parking sensors installed.by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
I just had the Nav-TV backup camera interface installed in my 2014 Boxster S. No issues to date and the system works as advertised giving me a clear backup camera view on the PCM screen when in reverse. I located an audio dealer in the DC/Northern Virginia area to do the install; he had already done a few and they did an excellent job. All in all 2 thumbs up for this product -.by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
I have a new Audi switch Meyle, part 1009050000 leftover from the 1999 Boxster I just sold. Brand new in the wrapper -- $15 shipped -- if you want it PM me.by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
Its not a big deal but it is a poor design. Once you put a condenser or rad this close to the road surface wide open it will take more hits. Good news is I have all the equipment to service AC including vacuum pump if it finally blows down the road.by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
Must be my unlucky day. I avoid rocks, dump drucks etc. as much as possible. In this case just before I reached the area where the rocks hit a car passed a dump druck and I can only assume that is where the rocks came from. The picture shows the damage from the very small rocks - condenser is still intact but who knows down the road in time?by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
Today during a 100 mile drive some small rocks were thrown up by a car passing in the opposite lane. I try like most to avoid rocks but sometimes they seem to be laser guided toward our cars. When I got home I noticed 2 small rocks trapped below the AC condenser coil ( rocks were small no larger than 1/4 inch or slightly larger ). One had bent a few fins and also one of the condenser tubes. Therby JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
I am going to have my 2014 wrapped next week before I really get a chip - I had the Colgan Bra on for my 500 mile trip back from BRBS ( all interstate ) - one rock flew from a trailer behind a SUV - it hit the headlight then bounced on the hood above the bra and also made a tiny nick at the very top of the windshield - talk about luck or not!!! The Colgan bra just does not cover enough of the hooby JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
Had a blast at BRBS 2014 - thanks to all who made it possible. I normally use a old style Colgan Bra for the long run to and from the event and then run "bare" for the event. That strategy with my 1999 986 resulted in exactly one tiny paint chip in the 15 years I had that car. Now with the 2014 I can see just looking at the paint it appears thinner than the '99 was. I already have picked up a fby JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
Almost new 2014 Boxster S. Trunk light inside not working. Checked bulb - its OK. Could be the microswitch that tells the light the trunk is open? Anyone know where its located on the 2013-2014 models? On the older models I believe it was part of the lock mechanism????? Joe in VAby JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
I sold my 1999 Boxster - I have a complete set of the factory 1999 model year wiring diagrams, which includes both Boxster and Carerra models. The Boxsters covered in the book are 97 through 99 and there is also a copy of the factory parts catalog micro fiche. I also have the 1998 Service Introduction book PNA 499 721 98.

First the good news, My 981 S ordered on October 17th arrived at the dealer on December 18th, a full month early. 300 miles later its home -- but somehow a tiny chip on one wheel -- not having any luck locating correct color to touch up the wheels, any ideas?by JoeU ontheriver in VA - Main Forum
