If so, I wouldn't mind if you sent me the instructions. Thanks again.
Hi,

Not true. If the OBC has already been activated, unplugging the switch won't change anything - no need to reprogram it. Easy DIY project, maybe a 2.5. PM me an email addy and I'll forward the R&R procedures.

If you want new try Sunset Porsche (dealer cost) -

If you want a used part, try L.A. Porsche Dismantlers -

http://www.911pcar.com/ This is where I bought mine, but I only used the OBC Stalk, I resold the rest on eBay, it cost me $100 and the part was As New. There may be a cross-border advantage for you buying used parts over new so far as any Duty or Tax is concerned. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
