Just imported another Boxster to Canada. Did the daytime running light hack myself, cost me less than $5 in parts: 3 inches of 18 gauge wire, 2 spade connects, and 2 fuse tabs (dealership wanted $195!!). Recall letter was given to me for free by Porsche corporate in Atlanta. Miles to Km's is a 6 second turn of the odometer knob. Emissions test $35. giving away $500 or more bucks to a Porsche dealership in Canada for these items is ridiculous.. you don't have to do it unless you are completely mechanically declined or love tossing hard earned cash to the Porsche Service Dept gods. Canadian Tire does a safety inspect and they breeze right through it, 10 mins. RIV had no issues with my application. Great system!
