WTF, Porsche Center couldn't code cruise controll?

You are going to find dealers reluctant to activate options that did not come with the car. Porsche has instructed them not to do so until Porsche is paid for the options and acknowledges payment, at which time the dealer is free to activate. So Porsche gets the big money, the dealer gets the lesser activation fees, and you get screwed.

Either find an indy with the right equipment to do it, or use the Durametric Pro, which will also activate it.

Awesome Jeff, thanks. Turns out my Indy has Durametric Pro (I didn't know before heading to the dealer that the pro version would code or that my Indy had that version) so I hope it works. Anything you can think of that might actually be hindering the coding by the way?

Not sure why the dealer accepted the job and handed me paperwork clearly stating the work to be done and then spent over an hour of shop time on it if they had an issue with actually doing the work. FWIW this is a Spanish dealer and not the USA, not sure if that makes any difference. I was treated with respect from start to finish and they didn't charge me anything.

The only thing that would prevent activation is an incorrect connection on how the stalk & wiring was installed. If you are absolutely positive it is all correctly wired, it should be a simple process to activate it.

So its been a long time since I started this thread, and I want to get back into the project and get the cruise coded.

Since my last post I disassembled the cluster again and double checked all my wiring. Its done exactly as in Wayne's book. I also checked with my voltmeter to make sure that things were in the right place, and that I get 12V when the stalk switch is activated. Everything checks out based on the info I have available...

As I mentioned above, Durametric Pro shows the cruise turned on in the DME, but I can't get the cluster to code. The dash LED does not light on lamp-check when the ignition is first turned on either.

Maybe someone can post the wiring diagram for a 2004 box S, so I can triple check? I'm really stuck and need some help please.

When I activated my OBC on my 4 stalk upgrade (already had cruise control) my initial attempt indicated my OBC was activated, but it did not work.
I read on here somewhere that someone was able to get the activation to "take" by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.
I tried that and it worked for me.
You never know......
