You have to understand that in Porsche eyes the trip computer retrofit does not exist. And some dealers say it cannot be done, which I find funny since I have done so many.

All I can tell you is my friend Peter is the shop manager at my local dealer. He is the Boxster PCA tech advisor, goes around the country giving Boxster tech sessions, owns a Boxster, and he wrote the retrofit instuctions which he gave to me years ago which are now out on the net. We just ask Peter to turn it on. Come to San Jose and he will do it for you - or try another dealer local to you.

Keep in mind that on a 2001-2003 you will not see anything when it is turned on - only once you have added the stalk or switch will you see anything. Also the instrument cluster software changed in 2003 and Peter could not turn it on on some 2003s but then he figured out why and has no problem turning it on. Jeff
