I know that in Europe, Porsche is an all year round car but in N. America, peoples don't drive these cars in the winter. All cars that sell here in Canada, usually has a built-in block heater. My car is park outside and the temperature here often go below -20C in the winter months. Cars without block heater and parking outside would have difficulty in starting the car because the oil is like molasses. I was just surprised that Porsche doesn't make this part due to very low demand for them. No offense intended here. I love Porsche and that is why I have two. My 930 is cozy and hibernating right now for the winter duration.

As for where the plug come out the vehicle, I had the wire (plug) come out of the side vent on the driver side. I have Evo intake so I can do this. It is pretty funny because it confuse many peoples when they see it. I just told them that it is an electric car. :-)

Electric porsche !

i had also thought about routing out through the side intake vent, i will investigate that further

what is the evo intake? and how does that affect the intake duct?

I may sound like a noob, but my background is mech engineering and my time on tools makes me every bit as fast as some mechanics, just have no experience with porsches. this car had long time dream (have wanted a 911 since highschool (1970))

after asking the question i found the evo info...

personally not interested in those kind of mods. but do some more digging to see if i can still manage to route the outlet cord through the vent opening
