I put mine in 2 years ago but never got around to wiring it . Something else seems to come up that needs more attention. I was planning on doing this in the spring but had 3 months of convertible top hassles.

I just bought a 99 996 Cab. I would like to add the OBC hack to my car. Does anyone have the instructions or a good active link?

$45 shipped for the stalk version , $30 for the Dash Switch version. The stalk version has the correct OEM plug for the stalk...when you are done it will look factory to a Porsche dealer

I purchased one of his harnesses, for a coule bucks more than you can build one for yourself, it's well worth the price paid, top notch quality

Default Thanks for the kind words

I make these by hand in my shop, one dealer actually bought one and then order 4 more to install in cars. He asked me where I got the Porsche wiring harnesses....I try to make them as close to OEM as possible

Anyone who orders one from you will see your work speaks for itself. It looks every bit of factory, thx again. I should say I am more than capable of making one myself, however I lack the time to head to various dealers to assemble the parts, it was a no brainer to order from you, and I'm glad I did.

Dwight, are you still making these? I want to do the dash switch hack. OBC is turned on already.

Thanks

Can the Durametric activate any other features on the 996 like DRL, etc?

There are limited features that can be turned on (that the car has) and also that Durametric can code.

According to this DLR cannot be activated by OBC it needs a relay:

Think I mentioned this to you in a previous thread.
