Well, that's a problem, because it is the only way to activate it.

Again, be persistant! Try to contact your Porsche Australia (regional?) Rep and see if he can help.

Also, you may be able to get some leeway at a dealership if you have them service the car for something else.

I got mine turned on when I had the car in to check out an issue with the Tiptronic. They had to use the PST2 for diagnosis for this. I didn't drop off the car, I stayed with it. While waiting, I was able to wander to the service area and while the Tech had it all hooked up, I asked if he could pull the Radio Code while he was in there - that I'd lost my code card (I hadn't) and also asked if that 'thing' (PST2) also turned on the outside temp feature (knowing full well that this activates the OBC). He said "Sure, easy, I'll turn it On for you". The problem turned out to be a dirty selector switch which they just cleaned up and I was out the door for $45, and no mention of the other PST2 services on the invoice.

Now, I don't know if the Dealer (Service Mgr.) would have been reluctant to perform the service or not, but it didn't matter as I went straight to the source.

Also, check with your local Porsche club. Someone there may own, or have access to a PST2 or PIWIS Tester. You just activate the OBC from a menu. Good luck!
