Found this

Anyone know, as this has no wiring looms, is this possible to fit. My guess is no as their wil be no existing wiring for computer, etc.

Is it possible to buy the wiring looms seperately, or is this basically a no goer without any looms?

Thanks for any help

I am automatically wary of this seller, as he states it is from a 2003 Porsche.
PCM1 was used up to and including 2002; MY03 was the switch to PCM2.

It all sounds a bit dodgy. This is a PCM1 though right? I used to have one in my 98 996 and it looks just like it. He is not entirley sure whether it is PCM1 or PCM2

I'd pass.

I have a PCM2 for sale if interested.

No, it is not economically feasible.

BDB, can you email me specifics as to what you're selling and for how much? If it's within reason, I'll buy it. Does it come w/the disks, and any other parts?

The pictures show a PCM 1 unit for sure. But in 2003 car´s they did not have PCM 1 but PCM 2. And it is not possible to interchange them.

PASS ON THAT ONE

Maybe the UK cars are dated differently than in North America?

The close up insert in the script is taken right off Porsche pages and is the new piece for sure - that seems a bit strange?

It is possible to retrofit PCM 1 in pre-2002 cars.

I have document on how to do it to a boxster which I found once on the web but I can't find the link again now. It is complex work but a bit of patience and an organised approach would mean it is possible for most engineers.

PM me if you want a copy - it's 1.22MB.

I found it : http://www.ppbb.com/board/museum2.htm

At the bottom of the museum discussions put "PCM" in the search tool

One of the subjects found will be "PCM Installation" by Lefteris (Athens-Greece)

This is a pretty comprehensive discription of retrofitting PCM1

IMHO it is not economically feasible. By the time you went to the cost, time and trouble of retrofitting PCM 1, you would have been much better off simply installing an aftermarket version, particularly considering the technical advances that have been introduced since PCM1. It is possible, but not worth it.

Sorry to bother..But just registered...
Have you still got by any chance the PCM file,??
No possible to find it any more.
I bought a pcm 1 and would like if possible to instal it toy boxster.
Thank you.

Some of the original posters probably have died since 2005. Irishdriver has not posted anything in 13 years. Last post was in 2010. Note this thread is from 18 years ago. **WARNING** Necro thread....
