OBC addition Cables
Well I am on my way, I made up my first cabels for sale today. These simplify adding the OBC function to your Boxster . They have the actual pins that fit your Instrument cluster plug , so no forcing in a "molex" or other pin that could ruin your harness. These pins are the OEM pins that fit perfectly. All cables are hand soldered, Ohmed out, Hand wrapped to give you a complete harness that will blend in with your factory wiring. I apologise for the poor wrapping on the white harness, it was my first and I will correct. I have already designed a bench jig to assist in the wrapping procedure. All connections are soldered and crimped.
You will still have to have the OBC function enabled by a dealer or using other diagnostic software like Durametric.
Thanks
Dwight

You may have mentioned it in another thread, but what about instructions for dash switch installation?

Not sure
I have not done a switch conversion, just put together a harness for it. The harness has 3 wires, one is ground, one is reset and the other is scroll. MOst use a spoiler switch from a 996. I Have a window switch on its way to me and I will run some tests and see what I can uncover.

Clean work, cool and easy mod! Like it
Kind of you to offer this to other members. You actually made me realized not long ago that the four stalk thing was an option. Never knew lol

Thanks - My cable arrived today. It looks great. Better than I would have made it up and cheaper to boot. Thanks for putting these together.
