On-Board Computer Upgrades
 

If you have a Boxster or 996 which was not fitted with the On-Board Computer option, we can activate it with a simple single-button control for as little as £120.  Two button, and stalk operation systems are also available at additional cost.
The single-button system gives access to readings for:
Outside Temperature
Fuel Range
Average Speed
Fuel Consumption

A second button, or stalk, gives access to the only other feature of the OBC - the Speed Warning Gong.


Cruise Control
 

Cruise control is also a popular retrofit for 996 and Boxster models which have drive-by-wire (eGas) throttle systems.  This includes 996 Carrera models from MY2000 onwards, Boxsters from MY2000 onwards, and all 996 Carrera 4 cars.  If you want to fit cruise, it makes sense to fit the OBC at the same time, as a new 4-stalk control unit is required.  See pricing below.


Rain Sensors
 

Automatic rain sensors are a popular option in most cars these days, and we can retrofit the factory system to most Porsche models (911, 928, 944, 968, 993 and Boxster).  The rain intensity is measured with infrared light, and the wiper pause intervals are controlled automatically.  Apart from the obvious convenience and passive safety benefits, it prevents the wipers being activated on a dry windscreen, thereby reducing wiper blade wear.
