You need a PST2 computer to turn it on. It needs to be switched on at the DME and the Instrument console. The dealers have these type of computers as well as serious Porsche mechanics.
Check out Renntech.org, search 986 cruise control (OBC will be there), lots of good reading. 2003 & 2004 are the same. 2000-2002 slightly different.

So, if I get the 4 stalk addition and hook it up, I can then take the car to the dealer or independent and he can activate the cruise and OBC?

What functions does the OBC have?

YES.
I'm booked in for May 22 to have this work done so I can let you know if it's as simple as the book's say it is. I get to drive 4.5 hrs to this garage,Yeah! Road Trip!


OBC Function:
Outside Temp. (good for the north)
Average Fuel Consumption
Average speed
Calculated Range on remaining fuel
Cruise Control Speed Exceeded (warning chime)
Digital Speedometer
Drivers settings
Stored warnings
Additional info on illuminated warning lights

My little telephone speaker in the left corner of my dash is also wired in but I've never used it. Maybe it is connected to the OBC?

IIRC that screen on the left of the tach is a microphone

I have a 01S and would love to have OBC function, I have not found a stalk for sale. Do you guys have any ideas where I could locate one and a ballpark price ?

Thanks in advance
