Can I buy a software version of a 996 Service Manual?

I need to remove some interior trim, and would like to have the manual. I saw someone mention that they had paid around $40 for this, but I forget where. Any help is appreciated.

That worked perfect. The other link was good but was that annoying pay service.

Does anyone have the diagrams for the Rear Console? (Or point me to the right spot in the manual?) I don't see it under Interior Trim.

Stage 1 is running the Ipod cable from a Dension Gateway into the center console lock box. Stage 2 will be modding the actual console to fit a Satelite Radio Receiver into an enlarged opening where the ashtray is now. I have to swap the consoles for that part, as I have a fully covered leather one that will not be kind to chopping up. I bought a used plastic one off of ebay that I can mod, and then paint body color. I'm settling on just the ipod install for now.

Did you find 996-TT related stuff? I did not, it seems it only discuss 996 C and GT3. Am I wrong?

Mike in MD is infamous around these parts
For What Its Worth: You can also try to mess with the NEW official Porsche documentation web site PIWIS-TSI. https://techinfo2.porsche.com

I have never downloaded anything myself because I ran out of time the last time I tackled it. Really, really hard to navigate, and some of the German-English translation is hard to decypher, but with a credit card it looks like you can buy anything you want by VIN.

You do need to register but it took only a minute and it doesn't appear the you need to be a dealer (some type of EU freedom of info act I believe forces them to make the documentation available to all). Most stuff is $1.80. Hope this helps.

Anyone else tried it?
