OBC activation
 

Hi I have a 2003 Box S, and I would like to activate the OBC.
Do I have to go in a Porsche center to activate it? due to the needs of the porsche tool ?

Yes, only takes a couple of seconds for them to turn it on. I wired in OBC and cruise (really easy on a 2003) and got both enabled when I took the car in for a service (didn't charge me for this).

Thank you!
I was pretty sure that porsche won't do it...
Did you buy the complete column assembly ?

The dealers here are ok doing this sort of thing if the car is out of warranty.

I bought a used 4 stalk off the bay for £90, surprisingly I got £83 when selling my 2 stalk. Cruise control works well and the OBC has made the cluster look far less dated.

Time to find a 4 stalk and do the mod ! :cheers:

Or do the dash switch hack... Much cheaper...

Only if you just wanted to add OBC. Cruise control is so easy to add on the facelift models I would get the 4 stalk and do it properly.

Right Nimbus ! (I love this glider)
But I would prefer the 4 stalk's OEM style :p

Please post a how to when you do this!!
