These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am looking at a 1999 911. There have been many modifications with the interior of the car. There is a hole in the instrument cluster area (see photo). What is the purpose of what was punched out? Was it a sensor or air vent? Can I safely cover the area withsomething solid or do I need air flow there? Any advice is appreciated.

POST 2Original post

There is a cover for that hole. Why is your voltage at 15V? Look at dashboard trim for your year http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p..._911_parts.php

POST 3Original post

Not sure what it is but here is what the cover looks like on my 99.

POST 4Original post

Maybe it was the microphone for the hands-free phone option? I doubt airflow is needed.

POST 5Original post

Frisbee is right, it was originally intended for the hands-free microphone for the OEM integrated phone. The factory option didn't really fly over here in the US because of compatibility issues with the Cell service providers... it quickly became obsolete. BlueTooth for the win!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks so much. And— I will check on that voltage.

POST 7Original post

This is what the original OEM mic looked like....

POST 8Original post

Here's the part number for ordering. You'll need to paint to match your gauge cluster color. Porsche part# 99655262602A03

I learned something new today....Thats very cool... I haven't updated my stereo yet, seen many posts here....why isnt that used for the mic for the current updates? Perfect placement to talk on the phone while you drive?

POST 10Original post

Interesting, that's where I have the mic for my tranzit blue microphone!
