Subject: Porsche Boxter, only DME communicates Wed Nov 25, 2009 5:06 pm
Working on a Porsche Boxter, VIN: WP0CA29881U625237 Build date: 03/2001 Porsche software 15.0 - Canbus II connector.
ABS, Air Bag, Instrument cluster and other body modules will NOT communicate. Only DME will communicate. I tried building it as a 911, Boxter and Cayene but only DME would communicate. The ABS light wasn't on, so I assume its communicating with the car, just not the scanner.
Also, can "module locking" be added to the Tool? The Air Bag module was replaced and it needs "locked" to the vehicle, which I don't think it can currently do.

please explain module locking....thanks paul
When a new module is fitted to these cars, they come "unlocked" After installation, it must be "locked" to the car. I guess its Porsche's version of module coding (like a BMW).
The unit will be non-functional and will display warning lights in the Instrument Cluster until locked to the car.

thanks..it's like codeing on the pre 2004 vw and audis .......most of the coded modules on the newer vw and audis are similiar but they have to go through the factory fazit system ...the tech needs a password and direct on line connection to the vw factory ....the newer porsches are probably the same
