That indeed looks fantastic. If it connects to the Bose harness, I'm IN.

Thanks for the lead!

You are welcome. I have no idea if it does work with the Bose system but reading through that thread, someone linked to a harness that does connect to the MOST system.

Yeah, I came across that on their site. I'm now waiting on my inquiry to their service desk but if they give the Bose the green light I'll be doing this ASAP.

Activation of the gauge cluster's on board computer, allowing you to view average and current mpg, miles to empty, outside temperature, etc.
Activation requires a Porsche specific interface device like Durametric.
