Can I retrofit my on board cumputer on my 2000 porsche carrera 911, what do I need? Where can I find the complete Kit with instructions?

Thanks,

You may have it and just not have the control to toggle through the functions. This can be done with a switch or with a 4-stalk control. Do you have a temperature read out below the digital speedo?

Here are the instructions for one hack for this. There are lots of others.

yes, I do have the temperature under the digital speedo. Will this work for a 2000 carrera?

If you have the temp readout you have the OBC. And yes these instructions will work for a 2000 996, I know because that is what I have.

You can get the tip switch (footwell light switch) from any Porsche dealer, they may have to order it. If yours is a 2000 you want the glossy switch. Also, you can do a 4 stalk turn signal switch rather than a dash mounted switch. This is the way that the factory OBC is done. Functionally the only difference is the ablility to use the speed chime, and that the stalk is more convenient for toggling through the functions. If you want to do this set up there is a DIY for it, I would have to search around for it.

Once again thanks for your help, the stalk sound better, I will look for one. If you know where can I get one can you please let me know?

The part number for the 4-stalk switch is 996.613.219.10. It lists for $276.54. You can try Sunset or Suncoast to see how much they charge. Also check Ebay, there are only 3-stalks listed now but I have seen 4-stalks on a regualr basis for way below the list price. This is where I got mine.
