I can do all the mods needed (day time running lights, etc) without any problem except...... I need the odometer switched over to KM's instead of Miles to pass inspection. Porsche told me they can do it but its pricey......
Does anyone know how to do this?

SHAME on your dealer! A pox on their house!!

Here is the not-so-pricey procedure:

Take a look at your instrument panel, specifically at the tachometer.

At approximately the 2 O'clock position (between the "5" and "6" on the tach), just above and to the right of the tach, you will see a small adjustment button with an icon of a clock on it.

With the ignition on, hold that adjustment button turned all the way to the left for about 5 seconds.

Voila, it should now read all in kilometers.

Regards, Maurice.
