PCM: I want to install into 2001 986

[Zky Captain]

I have 2 - 2001 Boxster S’s. One has PCM with switch on dash to disable. One does not. Can I remove it from car A and reinstall into car B?

The answer is yes it is possible - with the proper cables and software/car programming.

I think others will tell you that there are much better 3rd party solutions (for very little money) available today that will put PCM 2.x to shame. And, are likely easier to install.

I’ve never heard of doing it with an aftermarket kit. And since I have two cars, I was hoping to just do a swap and sell the car without.

Crutchfield's is still around in Charlottsville and they have a web site. They sell a wiring harness to adapt the stock wiring to the radio and know Porsches as they have done many in their shop for the UVA folks. There was at one time a dealer in Charlottsville again contributing to their familiarity with P-cars. They will provide car specific instructions for the DIY install.  PCM is so outdated for most buyers today and it isn't like a Boxster is a car you'd want to keep stock for future price appreciation.. They have a web site and offer phone support.
