Mileage Remaining on Gas Tank - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Murrgh · 02-25-2013, 02:10 PM

So I was looking at my Speedometer and looked where my mileage is shown and was wondering how do I switch it from displaying my Trip and cycle it to mileage remaining on my gas tank?

Thanks

Year of the car, and does it have the OBC option active?

This. I just scroll the on board computer selector to the miles to empty screen.

Which would be difficult if he does not have the OBC option..............

Hmmm... I have a base 2001 Boxster. I do not believe I have the OBC, but I am not sure. How can I check?

How many stalks do you have? If you have 2 on the left, you have OBC. If not then it's an easy addition, a couple of wires and a switch or add the proper stalks. Why not add cruise at the same time! The are simply enabled by a PST2.

I have cruise control, but only one stalk on the left

You can just add a switch but it's much easier with the stalk. You should be able to get a 4 stalk on ebay for the same as you can sell your 3 stalk. In fact the 3 stalks cost more. Fitting instructions below.
