Trip Computer

[garythompson]

I am considering adding the trip computer and cruise control modification mentioned in these pages. i have just visited my local porsche dealer (mid sussex porsche, burgess hill ,united kingdom) and questioned them with regard to activating the computer function once the mod has been carried out. there reaction was that they had never heard of this being done and that the instrument cluster would have to be replaced for the trip computer function at the least(said it was a different part number to the standard fit) does anyone know if this it true?

when i examined my dash display in bright sunlight a mpg icon can be seen faintly i assumed that this would be one of the function activated help!!

It can and has been done on UK cars. http://www.boxa.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=3209&st=0 You might ask on the UK board who will turn it on for you.

The only issue on a UK car is if you have the outside air temp sensor in the front grill. In the UK you do not have the sensor unless you have the optional air con. Not an issue in the US as air con is standard.

As ToolPants says its has been done in the UK, and I might just know someone who done it...... ;)
