My final solution was much better, I took the power from the same supply used for the Cat sensors..

The remote control receiver was originally fitted by my specialist in the engine bay area but it would reset the exhaust to loud (default) everytime I cycled the ignition which was very annoying...

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Hi all I'm looking at a switchable exhaust and have done a bit of reading. If anyone has an aftermarket one where did you connect the power wire ? The obv place would be the battery / positive terminal clamp in engine area but I beleice it's meant to Ben a switched live not permanent live. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Won't it be best near wherever you locate the switch. eg: in your horse shoe then do it to the fag lighter.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi It's switched using a remote control .. the control signal box sits In the engine area that then connects to the vacuum lines

POST 5Original post

This month's issue (December 2019) of Porsche World magazine has a tech feature about fitting the Spyder switchable exhaust with the remote... available in WHSmiths and some other newsagents I guess

POST 8Original post

I had a TopGear switchable exhaust fitted to my Turbo. The remote control receiver was originally fitted by my specialist in the engine bay area but it would reset the exhaust to loud (default) everytime I cycled the ignition which was very annoying... My final solution was much better, I took the power from the same supply used for the Cat sensors.. This was on the Left hand side, under the rear parcel shelf near the DME. I relocated the controller box here too, keeping it nice and dry.. It only needed the solenoid control wire to be routed into the engine bay. This power source remains on for 30 minutes or so after switching off the ignition...

POST 9Original post

pin 4 on the upper loom plug - switched live that remains live for about 30mins after ign is turned off. http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=116061&highlight= this from when i fitted mine - Demort was his usual legendary helpful self.
