security system

[deliriousga]

As long as it has a security system, it doesn't matter. I don't know why they would give you the system without the remote on the key head, though. The alarm is automatically armed when you lock the doors. The motion sensors are infrared sensors that look like little microphones in the dash.

The seat sensors let it know if you are in the car too. It won't turn the motion sensors on if someone is waiting in the car and the doors are locked.

little microphones in the dash?

The motion sensors in my 97 are above the dash by the center convenience lamp. That little microphone looking circle thing on the passenger side in my car is actually a temperature sensor for the air conditioning if I'm not mistaken.

But they sure could have moved them in later years. Mine was one of the first to roll off the assembly lines.

Oops. You are correct sir. Sorry, getting old and the memory is going first.

I have found different codes under the front hood,

M9822-851
08801-00
c02 232 391 898
L2A1 SJ

Can anyone tell me what these may refer too?

this is what I found.


c02 = us emissions
232 = factory 17" alloys
391 = 17" boxster design wheels
898 = cant find it, but i think that is
the storage space under the top
behind the seats???

forgot to add

l2a1 and sj are your paint and interior color codes

I havnet found a website that decodes these very
well.
