Thank you paulv, I will follow your recommendation.

Meir, you posted the issue in your post "standard in all vehicles from 06 and up" Porsche did not start to use the CAN bus in the Boxster until 2002, but the wires and some of the CAN support systems were installed in 2001 model cars.

I want to register RPM and throttle position whilst racing into the Racelogic system, and they want by default to get this from the CAN bus. I am trying to find out if this information is available to me in my 2001 Boxster via the CAN bus cables, or if I need to collect RPM (not CAN signal) from the OBD connector and the analog throttle position from the pedal cluster.

without going into the whole OBD connector functionality.
you might be right. didn't notice (when posting my reply) you are from Finland.
my statement on the previous post is relevant for cars made for the US market starting January 1st 1996 (and i'm not talking Porsche only).
with that said, the diagnostic tool you are using (Durametric and such) are using the same wires to connect to your car, so i find it hard to believe you will not be able to get those readings with your device.
i'm currently testing an OBD reader with WiFi connectivity, that transmit that exact information to a smartphone app.
if you would like, i can test it on my friend's 99, and let you know if it works.
this is the device:
New WiFi WLAN OBD2 OBDII Wireless Diagnostic Scan Code Reader Universal | eBay
this is the app:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dashcommand-obd-ii-gauge-dashboards/id321293183?mt=8
this app can be displayed also on a double DIN head unit from pioneer and kenwood (using a smartphone), so you can have a nice display in your car.
(i hope i understand correctly what you are trying to achieve )
