Kmowing me probably just forced it out of the way!

I have a 2002 Boxster S and am researching the OBC and the Cruise Control retrofits. I see you did these modifications some time ago. I am a little confused regarding the wiring into the DME. Is it the case that the 5wires to the DME are not required except on a 2000 MY vehicle.
Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Hi Tony
It was along time ago but I really enjoyed doing it. My car was a 986.1 so I had to run the wires to the DME although I seem to remember only connecting 4 of them. I had read somewhere that if you connected, gery I think, it would fry the DME 🤪. so I thought try it first with 4 and see if it works which it did. I've just looked at Revoultion's web site and it's cheaper for the later models so that leads me to think it's the 986.2 that don't require the wires to the DME. What model is yours?
Good luck

Mine is a 986.1.
I have been back through all the posts including yours and I apologise as I had misread the remarks regarding the connections.
It appears that 4 wires are required to the DME from the Cruise control Switch, as indicated in your write up, what is not required is the connection from DME pin 18 to the Cruise light in the instrument cluster.
I hope to do the install as soon as the 4 stalk arrives.
Apolgies once again.

Jumped in the car on Monday to drive home to find the from screen covered in thick mist that wouldn't clear and a overheating coolant smell. The water temperature remained normal, after a bit of research the heater matrix seemed the most likely culprit. As it turns out it's not that big a job as it is on normal cars where the heater matrix sits on the inside of the bulkhead in a Boxster it 's on the outside so easy replacement. I expected the matrix to quite expensive OEM £416 or Hella £120. Guess which way I went? Hella, correct. Anyway this how to swap one out. Remove the wiper arms, then the 3 Torx screws on the plastic scuttle At either edge of the windscreen are 2 nuts Disconnect the wiring to heated washer jets and remove the wiper scuttle in the centre you can see where the matrix is, behind the battery under the membrane Remove the wiper motor 3 screws,no need to disconnect the wiring just move to one side Disconnect the 2 struts, 3 screws each Clamp the two hoses Remove the membrane and undo the jubilee clips The matrix is held in by two screws and spring clips Reverse the procedure to finish off. You may will need to bleed the coolant system after I filled the matrix up with coolant before I put it back in.
