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.

The extension box I placed behind the factory fuse box and secured it with duct tape and ran the wire behind the carpet to the center console.

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 there Yes, I've read all postings about it. I just came back from a few hours of work on my car (996 Turbo, 2002 model, PCM1, Telepone built in, Europe version (Swiss)). I searched for switched power: 1. the phone connector everybody mentiones is of course connected somewhere into PCM well up where I don't get to it - and plugged in 2. none of the free fuse sockets are switched! all are always on 3. the cigarette lighter next to PCM is always on My plan is to hook up my TomTom (2A) and two mobile phones to switched power. What options do I have? Grab power from an existing fuse but which one that has enough power for more devices? Thanks for your help Ronny

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I finished my little project today with adding an extension fuse box. I tapped into the seat heating fuse to do that which is switched. The extension box I placed behind the factory fuse box and secured it with duct tape and ran the wire behind the carpet to the center console. Attached a few pictures to highlight.

The phone wire harness will just be hanging below the PCM unless you have the factory install phone. Which is a handset that hangs off the side. I doubt you have that. Also it would be helpful to list your model year.

I thought I gave already all necessary info in the frst post including model year and that I have the factory built in phone. I actually bought a seperate SIM card just for that, have a car phone now :-).

Thanks for the kudos. I'll when I finalized prepping it and made some nice pictures. The interior had some flwas like scratches that I needed to correct and it will take me another week till the car is ready. Is this forum /Water Cooler/996 Forum the proper one for introductions?
