Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 03 Boxster S came without cruise control but I'm interested in adding that option myself. Has anyone else done this before? It looks as simple as installing the correct column lever group, a bulb in the dash and the control unit under the dash. I think the wiring harness is already installed the the rest of the pieces are there to and shared by the Motronics unit.

POST 2Original post

I've got an 03 S as well with the OBC. I too am curious what else is needed to have cruise control. I love to shift also but on a long drive on a cop infested highway, cruise is your friend. Well, that and a radar detector.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Mine is a 6-speed. But cruise is so so nice on long interstate drives. I'm not getting any younger. lol

POST 4Original post

if its like the OBC hack you will need the stalk and someone to unlock option in the computer

POST 5Original post

I agree cruise control is a great aid when in police infested roads. Strangely, I used cruise control the most while I was stationed at Fort Wainwright. Most of the roads on post had a 25 MPH speed limit and the MPs will pull you over for doing 27! Some Of the most painful roads to drive on were 15MPH.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oklahoma Foreign and my local dealer both said that all I need is the correct steering column stalk and unlock the computer for that function. Also my local dealer said they would unlock the computer for cruise control for free! I guess there are good dealers out there.

POST 7Original post

Yeah, in CT my local dealers told me cruise couldn't be retrofitted even after I explicitly explained the steps involved in doing so and some high-end shops said they'd do it for $100 or so. If anyone happens to know a place in or around CT that'd be nice enough to hook up a PST2 or PIWIS and enable the OBC and cruise for me free or dirt cheap I'd be eternally grateful
