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.

I installed this hack a few weeks ago and finally found some time to make some instructions for everyone. It is the same as the kit that shows up on eBay every few weeks , but will cost you about $40 less. The site with the original instructions disappeared, so I have figured out how to do this and made a PDF you can download.
Basically, this hack enables the use of variable intermittent wipers in your 986 Boxster. It allows you to use a dash mounted dial to set your wipers to wipe at an interval between 4-30 seconds. This is a great addition to any Boxster especially if you drive in the rain. It is completely OEM and fully reversible (depending on a few choices).
You can get the instructions on my website which can be found here:

This hack works great, and I hope you enjoy it!
Hi, i've just fitted the hack, but any ideas why i only seem to have a max of a 2 second interval? I've double checked the instructions and all is as described.
Thanks, Andrew.
This one works...

I fixed mine tonight, there are two different dials. One way to tell them apart is the icon on the front. The first one I had had a different icon to the one shown in the instructions. Hence it would not work correctly.
:-)
Bryan, the one listed in the instructions is the correct one. I did not check what i'd been sent, not thinking there would be two. It's incorrect part number is; 996 613 127 00. If you, as I was, are buying the parts used, you should be able to ask for the plug connector too, as that makes things a bit easier.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
