I am interested in activating the OBC in my 2001 Boxster S. I have cruise control already, but I am missing the 4th stalk for OBC. Is it as simple as installing the 4th stalk and activating the OBC with a durametric?

I found a used combination switch with the 4 stalks, but is says it "Will ONLY fit cruise control / onboard computer equipped models with the 4 lever combination switch assembly." Should I just ignore their warning?

Also, does my car have the OBC function built in? There isn't a lot of room under the center gauge. Thanks!
