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

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 ?

Jim

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

Hey ... I'm a 996 guy who lurks here every now and then -- a few months ago I started reading the Nine8Six/Particlewave thread on headlights and it was all downhill from there ;-).

Anyway, I just ran across this thread. I've been meaning to do the OBC mod on my car but never had any interest in hacking apart some connectors to make the wiring harness. So this might be just the thing for me.

I already have the four-stalk column switch (PN 996.613.219.10) ... got it used and it came with all the covers and whatnot. Are your cables all that I would need to complete the install?

Also, can anyone verify that the pinout for a 1999-2000 996 is the same as a 1997-2000 Boxster? It looks like it, according to Pelican. The 996 pinout is:


Connector Pin #2 --> Gauge Cluster Pin #20 ... Select Mode Down
Connector Pin #3 --> Gauge Cluster Pin #21 ... Speed Alert/Gong
Connector Pin #4 --> Gauge Cluster Pin #22 ... Select Mode Forwards
Connector Pin #5 --> Gauge Cluster Pin #25 ... Select Mode Backwards

Thanks!
