I am surprise. I did not buy my Porsche from this dealership, but take it to then for repairs, and they always been very helpful. I remember seen the manager Accessing the radio function manually to get the radio serial number then calling Porsche headquarter to get the radio code. They can also use the diagnostic computer too
to get the radio code.
It sound like your dealership might want to charge you to get your radio code.
Good luck.

Just got my car back from shop..
Nice front bumper. Have you resolved the air bag light issue. I have the same problem. the airbag light just came lit on my '01 S. I contacted Porsche Dealer in Fremont and they told me they had to run full diagnostics, possible change the seat buckle and upgrade the entire air bag module? all this for "just " 1,500 to 1,700 bucks! ouch!!
they also told me if the airbag is the problem, they would have to replace it, but it is not just a simple code reset. as one thinks.
Keep us posted.

My airbag light came on several weeks ago and the dealer ran a diagnostic on it for $0 and determined the airbag was OK and functional. The light was on because Porsche's of earlier years had tin contacts on the seatbelt harness connectors and they go bad over time. New harnesses with gold connectors were offered for $750.00. I decided to pass on that for the time being. They did reset the light but it came back on after a day or two. I just live with it for now.

^ That bumper is fiberglass. Its the GT3 MK II version that was 'retrofitted' to work with 97-04 Boxsters and 99-01 911's. You can get the GT3 MKI version in factory polyurethane from DE Parts aka DPS motorsports and others for $900-1000. A much better value than fiberglass which never fits as good as lazer cut factory parts made from a mold. Fiberglass can sometimes require allot of body shop labor to get the precise fit before prime and paint.

That's too bad. I actually like the MkII version better than the MkI look. Oh well. Thx. for explaining.
