02 Boxster S RWD Porsche 986 GAUGES INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
hello !!
I would like to ask you if the below links fits to my boxster 2.7 2004 02 Boxster s rwd Porsche 986 Gauges Instrument Cluster 98664121401 180 625 | eBay what is your opinion on that? replacing the GAUGES INSTRUMENT CLUSTER? Mine is black and I would prefer to replace it to white as the link on ebay thanks |
What year is your Boxster?
That gauge cluster should work for 01-04. Why not do a 996 cluster upgrade? |
Looks like that cluster is for a Tip-Tragic car. Not sure what transmission you're running in your car, but that might be watch out for you.

I believe that it will work. Before you buy it I would check the plugs on the back of your unit to varifiy they are the same color as the ones on the unit on eBay. However, you are going from a 2004 to a 2002 unit. I wouldn't be surprised if they made some cosmetic changes to the digital display. I would also figure another $100 to have the odometer reading changed to your Boxsters.
I agree with emore93.... shop around and find an aluminum (white) faced 2002/2004 996 cluster and install one of those. I did it and it was a tad over $500 all in as a DIY project. |
thanks you guys mine is triptronic, 2004 Boxster 986, with 48k miles !!!
Can this project marked as DYI? any reference manual available on the forum |

check this link out Porsche 986 Boxster Instrument Control Panel Cluster Unit 2002 2004 Tiptronic | eBay this fits 100% BUT what do they mean that the cluster has 110 k miles? will show the cluster milage or mine milage? |
The cars mileage is logged in the ECU and the cluster. In order to get the new cluster mileage to match your actual mileage, you will need to copy and paste the files from your cluster onto the new cluster using an EEPROM reader.

It can still be done obviously, but you need more equipment and software to do it. YMMV. Steve |
Ah...I missed the post where he said his was an '04. I guess I should read a little better. :confused:

Porsche Boxster 996 Gauge Cluster Upgrade - 986 / 987 (1997-08) - Pelican Parts Technical Article Quote:
The odometer can be sent in to have the miles reset to your cars. I used ODO-PRO.COM - Odo-Pro.com - The Digital Odometer Professionals. I also added a leather cluster surround. Here is a breakdown of my cost; 996 X71 Instrument Cluster* $250.00 996 Leather Surround $85.00 996 Hazard Button $20.53 Oil Sender $56.63 Wires $17.10 Re-Set Odometer $89.00 Total $518.26 *X71 Aluminum Face was an $855 Option in 2003 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pscsqg7icb.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psiq5dwmq8.jpg |
Chuck - Your gauges look just like mine..except I have another 100,00 miles on my OD.
Did you have the steering wheel re-wrapped? Mario - Talk to Qmulus. He might have an extra 996 gauge cluster laying around and may even be able to reset the mileage for you AND his connectors (for the oil sender & OBC) are the exact same as the ones used in our wiring harness. The ones called out in the Pelican article (VW part #) are close but are difficult to push into the connector. If you are thinking about doing the upgrade, think about the OBC hack too. See what you started? |
