996 option codes

Hi All Have just got a 2002 996 4s. Can anyone tell me how I can find out how to decode the options as I have 17 of them on my service book and can only find out a few of them. thanks Tracy xxx

You'll find a link on the Rennlist site!

Hi Tracy, there are a number of sites where you can get these from, but none seem to cover them all, post them here & we will see what we can do for you. Cheers Grant

Hi Grant . The ones I can't find are 375 376 539 540 00501 09991 Thanks for your help. Tracy x

Hi Tracy, the trouble is Porsche have so many option codes & things become particularly difficult once you start choosing from the Exclusive catalogue The code 09991- is a pre-fix that means items have been selected from the exclusives option list, these are "special" items fitted at the factory, but additional to the usual long list of options. So your beast has some exclusive items fitted & this is one of the reasons why it's hard to track down the codes 376 is painted sports seat backs 375 may be "clutch without aspestos", but suspect it is another exclusive. If you want to know exactly what the options are your best bet is to contact Porsche GB Phone 01189303666 & ask for customer relations, providing your car is a UK model (you can tell by checking in your hand book or under the bonnet, the first number of the option codes on VIL sticker is the country code, this should be C16) they will check & get back to you. Best of luck, sorry I couldn't find all the options let us know how you get on.

Not always the case mine begins with 030 (sports suspension) despite being ordered and delivered to Lovetts in Bristol C16 does not appear on my sticker either under the bonnet or in the service book. JCB..

Hi JCB, yup does seem to be missing on some VIL's, seems to be high spec models in the main, have you got lot's of extra goodies on the car. Having said this most do start with the country code. Cheers Grant

Always a favourite for your 'favourites' http://www.kindel.com/Porsche/options.asp

Grant Not really pretty minimal. JCB..

Hi Everyone Thanks to all of you for the info. We only now have 3 options not decoded so will ring Porsche customer services as advised. Thanks again Tracy xxxx

Errr Cliff, Is Tracy your weekend name??? Mine's Gloria....

I have a file I have collected over a few years with these codes. This is what I find. Not sure how correct it is: 375 Clutch lining without asbestos 501 Turbo Insignia

Hi Tim Cliff is my husbands name though it does annoy me when he tries to drive the 996 in my high heels!!!! Tracy xxx

All this code stuff is fascinating, so I tried the link provided by Tim - however theres lots of things I can't find that I know my car has(had) such as Sports Exhaust, Sunroof, Electric Heated Memory Seats, Litronics, Side Skirts, Park Assist and Sports Design Wheels. The results I got were:- Code Option Description 09991 manufacture from the exclusive-programme C16 UK LUX spec: tinted windows, metallic paint, and a few other goodies. X76 Flared Rocker Panels X97 Aluminium/leather shift knob X98 Aluminium/leather parking break handle XJ4 Leather Ignition Lock Rosette XN3 Leather Fresh Air Side Dash Vents (standard with Package Y65) XV1 Leather Covered Ventilating Cover (standard with Y65) And the codes on my service book sticker were: c16 xkl xlf xm2 xng xnn xnu xrl xj4 xn3 xv1 x76 x97 x98 226 09991 Do you think the Exclusive Programme or UK Lux spec include some of the missing codes? Regards Dave

Two more for you XLF Sports exhaust system XRL 18" Sport design wheels

Jeez Cliff!! A wife?? How can you afford to run one of those?? Had to trade mine in. Mind you it was due a top end rebuild and the big end was well out of tolerance. [ ] davejones - try sending all your new codes you have find to the chap who runs the site - That way everyone can share the latest info!! You know it makes sense....

I have now found most of the options for my C2, but can anyone help with my missing ones.............. XAA 236 662 663 689

XAA Aero kit 662 PCM Navigation system

The coolest option code I have ever seen is FLY. Any guesses?

Dave I hope this helps, a lot of extra leather goodies on your car. xkl - loud speakers in leather xmz-rear centre consul in leather xng - defrost trim in leather xnn - central air vent in leather xnu - trim strip in leather Melun, I'm not sure on the two you haven't had answered, think they may be Hi-fi related.
