Retrofit PASM on non-PASM car

[p0rsch3]

Odd question- What is needed to retrofit PASM on an 05/06 997 that did not come with it?

Just the control module and 4 shock assemblies, plus the dash button? Wondering if all 997 cars came pre-wired.

TIA-

I can't imagine it would be practical to convert a car. There are all sort of tubes and wiring running around the car to support PASM. I would think if it was that important to you, buy a car with it factory installed.

Actually, it was a question posed by a friend of mine while discussing 997's. The PASM shocks just have a single plug wire coming out of the top of each, and there is a central control module that plugs into a spot on the car. Obviously the dash button is needed as well.

Most cars come pre-wired for things like CD changer, phone, NAV, etc- so wondering about this as well. Looking at a parts manual, there are no wires or tubes listed- Just the control module (1), button (1) and shock / spring assemblies (4). Tehnical question is all.

I read something that Loren wrote that every

wiring harness is built special for every car.

I've heard the same thing, but don't know what exceptions there may be. Safest assumption would be that wiring for a non-factory equipped option can't be assumed to be there and will need to be verified. For example, wiring for a PSE system is not included in all cars, so to install one, the hardest part of the install is getting the control wiring from front console area back through the large grommet into the engine compartment.

I'd be very surprised if a PASM conversion was feasible.
