I have ended up grouping all the controls that have to do with opening - both windows, sunroof, rear hatch, garage door and community gate - in a cluster on the driver's door. All are permanently live, not controlled through the ignition circuit, which I find a great help.
Eagle-eyed listers will notice that the odometer reset switch has been replaced by a rear-fog light switch. I have turned the picture 90 degrees, to indicate that this switch now controls the interior lights. One push, and all the cars lights come on.

WOW...very nice. I didn't know they even had a rear hatch switch ?? But if you used an overlay on a window / sunroof switch, very nice job. That really does look very nice.

whitefox

amazing job, but what did you do with the OEM holes for the switches?

Fabio421

What did you do with your power mirror switches? And what is the 123? Are they the gate switches?

WOW

The rear hatch switch is from a 944. 123 are home link switches (garage door and community gate). I discarded the miorror switches, because I never used them. The original switch locations are covered by an extended and raised centre armrest.

Did you delete your door speakers or move them down?

Q - Does the passenger have their own window control?
Q - What did you do with the original switch location?

Impressive and Nice Job - Looks very Clean!

What happened to the door vent? Why did you do this to begin with and not only what purpose does it serve, but what is the advantage of this change?

derekescott

very nice!!! Switches should never be "flat" anyway. WHo cares about vents, etc....I thought the German mentality/thought process was based on functionality.....not form!!! Verrrrrry Nice!!!

Bill Ball

Whew, nice job.

How did you make or where did you get the surrounds for the switches? Looks factory.

I love it but Yiu used the stock POS switches

The mounts for the switches are also from the 944. Yes, the passenger window has a second switch in the passenger door, but that's a long story in its own right.

That must have been a lot of work! I think I'm finally used to the center stack switches but there are times when I've looked for the window switch right where you put it. Awsome job!

Please show what you put in place of their stock location.

In 1973 - more than 30 years (!) ago, when the 928 was designed, the German mentality was to make it as good as they knew at the time. Think about how many cars HAD power windows at that time.

Things changed in 32 years, and today, the German mentality is to make it as good as they know today. For example, the German mentality could be to have the switches for left and right windows next to each other (left for left window, and right for right window) so you don't have to remember which switch is which. They probably would be a little smaller and formed in a more ergonomic way.

The German mentality would probably not allow the deletion of the mirror controls and seat memory, let alone the door vent.

The latter was actually a pretty intelligent idea, as it not only defogs or defrosts the side window, it also provides a low draft air curtain that is designed to reduce radiation of the outside heat through the window by moving cooler air up along the window into the headroom. I found this to work very well when all is properly adjusted, but some here seem to disagree.

Sure, these vents are not suitable to cool down the cabin quickly in extreme heat - that's what the center vent is much better for. But after the initial cool-down process, if you want to drive with minimal draft and noise, these vents are indispensable.

After the initial cool-down, set the HVAC control lever to direct all air upwards, close the center vent, and direct the door vents upwards. Keep fan speed as low as possible and add rear AC as necessary. Drive comfortably like this for hours...

If you direct cool air directly to your body, your body will respond by producing more heat, making you sweat even more. You get is an ILLUSION of cool, but I doubt it will ever be really comfortable.
