Non e' possibile utilizzarlo e cablarlo sul nostro devio luci originale ?

No, non lo è. Leggi il mio primo post in questo thread.

Hi. Im new to the forum and can't PM you. Do you have any of these boxes left? I would like to take it off your hands. Or if you could point me in the right direction to make my own.. I'd be most grateful.
Paul,
thank you very much for the kind words. I'm just trying to do the right thing here.
OK, all PMs replied to and it looks like my last two units have found potential owners, if there's enough interest I'll make another batch sometime in the future.
and here's a link to the installation manual: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y99...ew?usp=sharing

Just installed Cayenne E1 auto headlight switch, fits like a glove. P/N:7L5941531C I got it from a scrapyard for 25$.
I ordered chinese VW diode controller to plug it into the switch and I will report back if it works.

Quick community update:
Another Rennlister found a much better solution (see thread https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...dlights-3.html).
His solution allows you to use the original light switch and - i have to admit - is also more elegant. Consequently I stopped making my module.
I understand that he’s currently testing a few different modules and is planning to post a DIY in the near future.
This will probably the best way for anyone who feels comfortable with DIY.
As a coincidence, about the same time he found his solution, I also started to work on version 2 of my module. it’s a complete new design, using an Arduino microcontroller. It will also use the original Porsche light switch and will not need to tap into the fuse box or buy anything on Amazon. It’s currently in prototype stadium, and initially I was only planning on making it for myself (I love tinkering). However, if people don’t want to DIY, I might make a batch of them for sale. In any case, I’m currently pretty busy at work, so it will be a couple weeks (I also need to do a proper burn-in and test first). I’ll update this thread when I make progress.
