According to the VIN, this Boxster is an RoW 2002 model, manufactured in Uusikaupinski, Finland.

There is no need to pull the radio retrieve the serial number. If you have a factory CDR-220:

Hold down the TP button for at least 10 seconds after you turn the radio on. "Becker 1" will be displayed. Rotate the right knob slowly, and it will display the Becker model number. Then rotate it again and the serial number should be displayed on the radio.

When you get the serial number, either post it on this forum and Heiko may be able to supply the code, or you could go to the Rennlist forum, and Loren will provide it.

my babies! I will take more pics next week, because I will have to clean it my self this weekend, and also take it for a good polish, also I will install the parrot ck3100 on it, bought new rim caps, and a key case fob waiting for those to come.
on the computer it showed it needed a sensor for the airbag, oil change, filter, plugs, the brakes it showed it was great and passed the MOT with 95%, added air condition air into it, but I have issues because when I use the brake it doesn't stop very well, its like its weak, the feeling is so great, I love it so much, I am the happiest person now, IMS, well this one has 97K KM but no sign of anything I don't know if I should change it or even if they know what IMS means here, the bose is absolutely great it has the woofer also behind, I tried cleaning the back plastic but it would not work, I ordered a special liquid, but I don't know how to clean it from inside, maybe put half the top to middle so I can reach, I don't know how to clean the wind deflector because I cannot remove it with the clips don't know how, too bad I don't have a manual looking on ebay but cannot find one. also I find it so weird that it has an OBD but not the lever, and wow so much hassle to add one I guess, I don't know if I buy from ebay a diagnose device I could change some values on it, basically I can just control the clock and reset the km driven so far that is all, other than that my dream came to be reality! I checked the trunk and boot there is no lamp inside , I don't know which one to buy so I can add them too inside I mean.

Looking nice Chris & welcome to the world of Porsche ownership & I think the wheel is on the correct side

I personally think it's far better than the red one, are you talking about the OBC retrofit if so it's not too bad when you step through it Just doing it myself, where in Cyprus are you located ?

Ha ha, it's a great feeling, I had to wait a bit longer due to family commitments for finally arrived at prosche ownership. If you need any pointers about the OBC then there are lots of instructions online.

lol, family spread out then, my mum has an apartment in Kato Pafos & I have been over a few times myself, weather was great & so was Aphrodites Water Park.

Enjoy

hmm, ok I ordered a plastic cover for my key with buttons to see if it will work but unfortunately didn't, with a new battery, I tried the steps to resynch.
oh well tomorrow I will get a new key.
however now as I was coming to work, I tried the trafficator to show right, but it doesn't hold up, it didn't happen few days ago, the left one works but the right I have to like keep holding it, any idea?
