the easiest thing to do is to wire in a switch that can be turned on from the cab. Do not disconnect the OEM wires, so that if you forget to turn it on, you wont overheat. Otherwise, the computer will have to be programed to turn on at a lower temp. I dont know if that is even a choice because the special porsche laptop and program to do that is around 3 K-6K$ and only dealers and large shops have it.
