Sold my '04 Boxster S 550 and have an '09 C2S Cab arriving at dealer next week :-)

Was wondering if Porsche makes a device for 997 Cabs similar to the red clip they made for Boxsters that enables the passenger compartment microwave alarm system with the top down. I found this to be very useful due to providing additional protection when conditions allow for not closing the top.

I understand that the red clip was designed by Porsche originally so that service techs could check if the interior alarm system worked with the top down.

I've never heard of one.

I've noticed that sometimes it works with the top down and sometimes it doesn't. One of these days I'll have to RTFM.

Thanks for your responses. Maybe the 997 Cab passenger compartment detector IS enabled with the top down and that is why there is no need for a "clip".

Never tried the clip - too cold now, but I will try it out in the spring -I still have one from my BoxsterS-thx

Check the manual under the alsrm section. The '07 manual states that when the top is down, the passenger compartment detector should be DISABLED.

Thanks for the info. This is what i figured - just like the Boxster. Well, maybe Porsche does make the clip for the 997 similar to the Boxster. I will check with my dealership parts folks.
