spook Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Can anyone confirm that retrofitting cruise control to the 981 involves just fitting the missing control stalk and recoding? Is it the same for the onboard computer stalk at the other side? Many thanks, S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Pretty much, main dealer only coding (after market coding closed). Various different part numbers depending on spec. I'd haggle it with the dealer if that's the way your heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ian is right, you need an authorisation code to enter into the PIWIS tester to activate it. If you buy the retrofit kit from Porsche it comes with a code, but it is a huge amount more than the stalk unit on its own. Edit - the stalks aren't available separately. You have to replace the complete stalk unit, and there are several versions, depending on the equipment spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMA Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I had cruise fitted to mine by Edinburgh OPC before i collected it. Cost around £500. And they had some problems getting it coded in. i think it's not just the new stalk but replaces the indicator stalk too as it's all one unit.

spook Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Lot of money for a bit of computer code! What about if I want to ditch the MFSW for a Sports steering wheel - anyone fitted the additional stalk for the trip computer, and does that need coding too?

T24RES Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'm guessing that most of the previous back door mods have been closed with the 981. Anything added will require some coding. It's probably best to find a spec that you're happy with as retrofitting isn't as straight forward as it has been on previous models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two stalks on mine. 1 for indicator and 1 for cruise unless you mean that they replace the indicator stalk with a different one at the same time as fitting the cruise stalk?

Yes that's what I meant, the new stalk they fitted had both indicator and cruise on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the case on the 987, but not the 981. I just checked PET, and there are 40 (yes, 40) different stalk assemblies available, depending on the vehicle equipment and options. They share the stalk units with 991, Macan, and Panamera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Had cruise control retrofitted as part of the purchase deal from Colchester OPC, works perfectly, and is an extra stalk, indicators are separate on same side (left) wipers on right.

Hi Martyn, may I ask how much it cost to get the cruise control retrofitted by the OPC? Was it approximately the same as CMA's retrofit by Edinburgh OPC (i.e. c. £500)? Presumably they did any necessary coding as well(?) Cheers, T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, T Hi, I’m not sure exactly how much because it was installed as part of the deal when I bought the car, but if I remember correctly the figure of circa £400 was quoted. In my opinion well worth the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So c. £550 inc VAT. Thanks once again, T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
