The only thing left is to source the switch or stalk. Anyone have any good ideas on a 4 way switch that will fit in one of the spare areas to the left of the stereo? Ideas?

Everything I could find told me that my cluster wouldn't do OBC. I didn't know who to believe till I saw a boxster with the 98664123300 clusters. I wrote the model number down and have been searching for one on ebay for about a month. Last night I'd still not found any reasonable and thought a shot in the dark on a higher milage one. I got it for $130 shipped. I'll be happy if the displays are in good shape. Any advice? Again, I'm still needing to either stalk or 4 way switch. Ideas?

I used a tiny 5 way tactile switch (up, down, left, right and center), cut the PCB to fit a switch blank and installed it in a blank next to the steering wheel.
Very small and inconspicuous. Having all 4 positions vs just one or two with a traditional switch is nice, too. At 6'1", I didn't like the idea of a fourth stalk.
