99 - I have the yep display, does that mean my OBC is "turned on"?

I have a 99 Boxster with turn signals that will not cancel. From the sounds and feel of it, I think it's a mechanical failure inside the steering column. So, I'm thinking about getting a replacement multifunction stalk assembly to swap it out.



So, that gets me thinking, I don't have the OBC (on board computer) option currently, but supposedly all I need to do is follow the instructions at the Pelicam parts site, and then buy a few wires and wiring connectors. Oh yeah, and I need the fourth stalk.



But if I gotta buy a 3 stalk multifunction assembly to fix my turn signals, maybe I should just get a 4 stalk version, right?



So, after that long winded intro, my actual question is about the step in the Pelican instructions where they say that I would need to have the OBC "activated" by the Porsche programming tool. Hmm, but they also "kinda" say that if you have an outside temperature display, then it is is already "turned on". Can anyone conform this? I do have an outside temp display, I guess maybe one of the POs had that turned on?
