Quality Porsche Parts on eBay may have even better selection than Oklahoma Foreign

Looks like an amazing job with the cables. I would love to do this to my Boxster. Bump for good DIY.

Update: ordered a set and received them in the mail. Just as I thought, top notch work, thanks.

Sent a PM. Tell me how to pay you for this as I want a set of cables for the 4 stalk OBC. Thanks!

jim_hoyland 10-26-2014 04:29 PM

If I have the outside temp showing does that mean the OBC is on ?

Pdwight 10-26-2014 05:11 PM

Yes, it should be on if you are seeing the outside temp

Received the switch with the wires; very well done ! I have a question regarding the placement of the switch. Previously I've read that some switches are left or right only; that is that fit on one side of the air/heat console but not the other. All my slots on the right (passenger side ) are full; this leaves me with only the driver side. Will the switch work on the left (driver side ) ?

Second question: is a second switch required to make the "speed gong" operational ?

Pdwight 11-04-2014 04:08 AM

Yes
 
Install in any vacant switch opening.

jim_hoyland 11-15-2014 01:53 PM

Is a separate switch required to set the speed gong ? How is the speed set ?

Pdwight 11-15-2014 05:52 PM

Im not sure if you can set the speed gong with a simple dash switch. I could provide a 4 stalk cable and you could add two switches I suppose to get the entire abilities....but I have no experience with that

We installed the OBC switch and have found the wiring job excellent; the switch now allows the function to cycle through. I have a couple of questions:

1. The switch has two buttons but only one seems to cause the OBC to cycle. Pressing the other side doesn't appear to have any effect ? Is this normal ?

2. Is there anyone out there who did the two (2) switch installation ? Would like clarification whether this allows setting the speed gong function

I would recommend Dwights harness to anyone wishing to use the OMC, it's a nice upgrade.

Thanks Jim, projects from my very own "Skunk Wurx" Shop...made by hand :)

Hi PD,

I still have your switch harness you sent me, but I ended up buying a 4 stalk switch. Go figure. What modifications would need to be done to make the conversion from the switch harness to the 4 stalk harness.

Is the length the same?
Do I need to add 2 more wires with the connectors?

Thanks

PD,
Answered my own question. When I posted previously, I was at lunch on the work computer that doesn't allow photos. Sent you a PM.

Hi Kram,

I'm in the process of doing the same on mine using Pdwight's harness. My question, where did you find the shroud where the stalks protrude?

Or did you dremel the lower hole?

KRAM36 02-21-2015 04:11 PM

I bought the whole unit off eBay for $199.99 shipped.

There is another one for sale by the same person I bought mine from.

The rubber shroud has pre marked indentations on the back side. All you need is a utility or exacto knife to cut it out.

THese folks have some of the hard to find stuff...even the caps for the different "handles"

Fintro11 02-21-2015 04:19 PM

I need to do this

Pdwight 02-21-2015 04:23 PM

Let me know
 
I will fix you up with a harness
