Hey everybody, I got my first Carrera, in fact my first Porsche ever, a couple of days ago. It's a 2000 Artic Silver Carrera with GT3 wheels, factory leather sport seats, and factory 3-spoke steering wheel. I love it but i do have two things that have been niggling me.

1. In the manual it shows that there is a lever to get into the dash computer (right below the turn signal lever) on the stock 4-spoke wheel. But on my 3-spoke i don't have that. So was that lever only on that optional on-board computer for $200 something bucks?

2. And if that is so, can you change how it only shows the outside weather temperature (right below the tachometer)?

Thanks in advance everyone!

You will need to:

1. Turn on the OBC using a PST2 or PIWIS. If you give your location perhaps another board member with a tool will do this for you. If you are near Roseville CA I can do it for you.

2. If you want the other features (other than outside temperature) you will need to add the 4th stalk or a dash switch. Do a search here for OBC as this has been covered in great detail.
