Suggestion

You will need to transfer the 3 other stalk caps (covers) from your old (gloss finish) stalk and buy the computer cap 996 613 503 01 A01 (gloss black) to replace the matte finish one that comes with he new stalk.

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

I heard somewhere that the dealer can turn on the air temp readout on a 996 that does not currently have it. Anyone know about this? Thanks

POST 2Original post

A quick push of a button on a PST (Porsche System Tool) will do it.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Tool Pants: so does this reprogramming also give you other goodies?

POST 5Original post

i'd love to know what other goodies can be 'tweaked' besides this and locking doors at 3-5mph

POST 6Original post

silver996 -- Yes. Once this is on you can add the fourth steering wheel stalk and get full computer function. Moogle -- The PST2 programs all the computer systems in the car from engine DME to ABS Brakes to Instrument Cluster to PSM to PCM to Alarm to Sound System Options. All this for only $8000 (to independent shops) and $2500/year to update the software. Oh yeah, some operations still require permission and/or reporting to PCNA. Just let me know if you want to buy one for me

POST 7Original post

Oh..thats cool but dear said that i don't have the wiring installed on my car for them to add the fourth steering wheel stalk.however i've done the temp. shown on my Cluster .. so r they telling the truth??

POST 8Original post

all cars come prewired, just as all cars come with the external temperature probe.

POST 9Original post

Uh... no, any car can have this added.. You can do it with a dash switch or a stalk. You do need to add one wire. If you want to do it tell me which way you prefer and I will send you detailed instructions.

POST 10Original post

Oh thats great Loren thanks.. well can you tell me the detailed instructions..and the tools or/and parts needed

POST 12Original post

With the stalk loren..because its comes like that I have 996 C2 1999 tiptronic

POST 13Original post

You can download a pictorial instruction here: OBC Stalk Install Porsche no longer sells the the 4 arm stalk version with the gloss finish so the newer part has the matte finish of the newer cars. The 4 arm stalk is part number 996 613 219 10 EWC. You will need to transfer the 3 other stalk caps (covers) from your old (gloss finish) stalk and buy the computer cap 996 613 503 01 A01 (gloss black) to replace the matte finish one that comes with he new stalk. Good Luck!

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Great instructions Loren! Is the dash button install easier? If so, can you forward those instructions as well? Also, I haven't had the OBC activated yet, should I expect the dealer to do it without any hassles?

POST 15Original post

These were original done for the Boxster but the only difference is the that Carrera's have 5 gauges instead of 3. Color code may also very by MY. Here is a link: OBC Button Hack

POST 17Original post

Thanks again Loren ... but one point i want to understand do i have to made a wire harness for the 4th stalk . can u clear that please

POST 18Original post

First pic is the harness for when you do it with a switch. Second is the harness for the stalk. Got to bug Henry to finish the DVDs as we video taped both installs, including making the harness, and even turning on the trip computer with the PST2. Jeff

POST 19Original post

Thanks for these pics but how do i know which terminal going to where? all what i got is the ground connection but the 4 remaining wires ??

POST 21Original post

Here's what I don't get. If there's only one air temp sensor, why does the temp shown in my OBC and the temp shown on my PCM vary sometimes? - Only by one degree mind you.

POST 22Original post

My guess would be the poll delay the PCM has in reading signal changes. That is, it may only check with the Climate Control every few minutes.

POST 23Original post

AAhhh, so knowing that the PCM reads from the OBC - one can tell which direction the temp is changing.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
