I purchased a nice 2001 Base Boxster just about a year ago. The OBC and Cruise Control were not activated. I recently picked up a re-conditioned Durametric Pro from Durametric. Very impressive and powerful tool.

I plan to hack the OBC and Cruise Control modules. I currently just have the 2-stalk switches on my steering column (i.e. wipers and turn signals); I will remove the 2 stalk switch and install the 4-stalk version. I know some folks use a panel mounted rocker switch for the OBC, but I like the OE look with the switches on the steering column.

I have contacted Dwight about purchasing one of his quality wiring harnesses for the OBC. I will make the Cruise harness myself.

Apparently there is an excellent guide to the OBC hack that was written by Joeisf (sp). Does anybody have a link, or a copy, to his hack instructions? That would be much appreciated. Thanks.
