I have mine set to the beep instead of the horn and had what seems like the similar issue. I always use the door handle buttons (beep) and never use the remote (horn). When mine went silent, I held the lock and unlock buttons on the remote down simultaneously for 3-5 seconds. It reset and the beep was back.
Worth a try.

I'll be trying this in about an hour after I finish class. I'll report back as soon as I can. Thanks a lot!!
 
The key fob reset should work. I have also noticed that the software in my first gen is a little buggy. When I lost my power steering wheel and seat adjustment and due to a blown fuse, I had to reenable the "Lift Steering Wheel When Exiting" option in the Settings menu. However, it wouldn't 'stick' until I deactivated it, shut the car off, and then reenabled it via menu.

Let us know how it turns out.
 
Just wanted to let everyone know that it worked!! Held both the lock and unlock for about 3 seconds and the horn honk was back when I locked it and the lights when unlocking as well. Thanks !!! :smile (2):
 
Anyone ever thought of trying to custom mold the gen2 front lip to the gen1? Or any other lip that could roughly fit? I've always had this in the back of my mind.

It has been talked about a lot. Someone on here found a shop that quoted him ~$500 to "make the 2nd gen lip fit" to his 1st gen. With this plan, you'd spend ~$1000 for a custom fab job and not know what will come out at the end.
On the other hand, I think the Rookie front bumper is ~$500 + paint and install.
Producer is another guy that fabbed up his own custom front bumper by using parts from another car (might have been a Boxster or Mazda). His worked out great, but it's a long hard road.
 
:-/ ehhh jeez. I wish they had oem ones for the first gen. I dont really like the look of that aftermarket bumper at all.
 
Anyone know how to get this plug undone? It's underneath the HID bulb, and is the one that is attached to the headlight itself on one side. I tried just pulling it apart, but it's hard to get a good grip, and I don't want to rip the wires out.

On the right side of that pic you can see the tab that needs to be pressed down. It's between the two thin fins on the top (in that of the connector. They bend out if the way as you press the center down. Once you press it down a bit, push the two together a little and then pull them apart.
 
Ok I will try that. It doesn't help that it's almost impossible to get at them. I can take the whole damn front end apart, but can't get this stupid connecter. Looking at the new headlights, Pat had issues too and finally snapped it. :rotfl:

The pushing together must be the trick I didn't get.

I still don't understand how that clip works haha. Thanks!

Too bad I can't put the headlight back together and actually swap them since I still need to super glue some tabs, but at least everything is apart.
 
A small flat head screwdriver comes in handy with undoing the plug. Just push it down and wiggle a couple times will do.
 
Haha I remember when I was trying to get these clips off the first time! Thought I would be the boy one that struggled. Once u get the hang of it they aren't bad. I broke like two though
 
I kept saying to myself, man the Japanese are not big fans of things coming apart easily. Probably a good thing though.
 
Any PHP programmer out there?

Here is the error/warning:
PHP Warning: mysql_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/dp/public_html/detail.php on line 14
PHP Warning: mysql_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/dp/public_html/detail.php on line 16

Here is the code:
<?php
$hostname = "localhost";
$username = "dp";
$password = "123456";
$dbase = "games";

$query = "select * from details where web_key = $game_id";

$link = mysql_connect ($hostname, $username, $password) or die ("Could not connect");
$select_status = mysql_select_db($dbase);
$result = mysql_query($query);

$i = 0;
$game_number = mysql_result($result, $i, "game_number");
$game_number = strtolower($game_number);
$web_key = mysql_result($result, $i,"web_key");
?>

^ That warning means your query returned a boolean success/fail instead of a result set or your query failed. Since the query is a select, the issue lies with the query itself.
