PSE Install completed

[peter-pa31]

I got the full install of the PSE completed this weekend (electronics and all). I just wanted to thank everyone who contributed DIY information on this project. I would never had contemplated doing this on my own without the wealth of information available here. This is truly a great forum.

Pics of the mod or the car? The mod is not much to look at, and the car is a very pedestrian C4S - no visible mods (except for the clear side markers that I added so I won't pulled over by the asthetics police) :D

Install pics to assist others in the future.

I would do, but there are so many good DIYs with pics already, that I think I would just be wasting space and confusing the issue. I would be happy to post pictures that add to the existing information. If there are any aspects of the install that anyone would like to get more info on and/or pics, just let me know and I will be glad to add.

Could you perhaps point to the pages that you used?

I am aware of several, however, I may have missed a few.

Any errata, or short cuts?

Thanks.

I found all of these discussions to be very helpful, some of them contain links to wiring diagrams and other instructions. I am reasonable with a wrench, but far from an expert and I found the project to be fairly straightforward. I would pay particular attention to the discussions regarding potential errors in the Porsche instructions for wiring the jumpers in the relay carrier.

It took me a total of about 10-12 hours to install the whole thing. A lot of this was learning about the car - this was the first time I worked on a Porsche. If I had to do it again, it would likely take much less time.

Please let me know if you have any specific questions, I would be happy to help.

Possible we have a group install in a car working day?

Where in NJ are you? I've been contemplating the PSE as well. Would be great if i can hear it as well.

I am here to reassure you. You don't need to hear it. If you're afraid of it being too loud, then you just press the dash button to make it quiet.

Congratulations on your install!

:clapping:

See, it was not that hard was it? And with the money you saved putting it in yourself, you can go treat you and your significant other to a nice dinner!

I would be happy to lead an instal party if someone in the Bay area wants to put one in their car.

wow, never knew you could also install the switch for the PSE (dealer said that if they installed it for me, they would not be able to install the switch). how much did the entire project cost you?
