Wanted: Bay area 997 PSE owner to be Lab Rat

[Orient Express]

I've come up with a wiring mod to disable the "auto-quiet" mode of the 997 PSE, and to add a driver controlled "Loud/Quiet" mode activated from a dash mounted switch.

I have a 996, but not a 997, so I am looking for someone that lives in the San Francisco South Bay area that might be interested in participating in a proof-of-concept trial.

I would like to install the mod in your car, with the Porsche OEM muffler control switch (which I will give you the P/N for you to order for your car), and the associated wiring and verify the design. In return you can be the first one on your block to have the mod.

The goal of the POC is that the car's default will be loud, and will no longer automatically decide when to go into quiet mode. Only the driver can initiate the quiet mode.

When we have verified that the design is correct, I will publish the mod for all to use. I know that my wiring for the quiet loud portion is correct, what I need still to do is to optimize the cabin lighting wiring, and find the correct placement for the switch. I am looking primarily for cars with the Chrono Package.

Let me know if you are interested.

My dealer wired up my PSE so it's normally quiet and I have to press the button to open it, which works for me since I'm going to drive it in quiet mode most of the time.
