chipmunk Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I had a cruise control retrofitted to my 2007 987.1 3.4S today by my local Porsche dealer which involved a complete new set of stalks (all 4). Everything seems fine except the instrument cluster no longer displays the navigation or cd/radio info - only average speed, fuel consumption and distance to empty. The car has a PCM 2.1 system installed. I have looked through all the menu options on the PCM and on the cluster but can't see anything that needs to be selected to regain these functions. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMacdonald Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 No but I'd take it straight back. Sounds like they have messed up. Even if it's somehow to be expected after the retrofit, they should have explained that to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Thanks. I have already spoke to them and they are 'looking into it' however it does like something that should be configurable and I was hoping to save my car going back in again.

Richard Hamilton Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 They didn't code it properly when they coded the instrument cluster. Bl**dy amateurs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Interestingly the indicators now flash 4/5 times if I push the stalk gently, rather than fully depessing it for a turn (hope this makes sense). I am hoping that the loss of display is not linked to the new stalk cluster in some way. I think I'll call them and tell them to hang onto the old ones for the time being ...

Are these programmable items in the instrument display settings then? ie nothing that I can do without the tester unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 You need a Porsche tester. Coding the cluster is a step-by-step process, where you select the equipment fitted to the car. Sounds like they have missed a couple of things - radio and navigation - hence why it doesn't display them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 It's the coding as Richard says. It needs to go back on the PIWIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 OK thanks guys. I wanted the cruise control but I am not sure I am prepared to give up my instrument satnav display for it. Glad that's all it is. A bit anoying though really - one of the reasons I went to my local OPC was to get it done right the first time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkscrew Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I fitted cruise myself and like you I took it to my OPC to code it. Worked a treat except the roof was as dead as a dead thing? Took it back and the to*ser told me it couldn't have worked before then?? I asked (quite loudly) if there was anyone in the building capable of coding correctly and fortunately there was? No appoligy so I won't be returning there then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 That's what happens when you code a Boxster as a coupe. You wouldn't think that was possible, but your OPC proved it can be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araf Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I had this when they fitted the stalk to my last car. I took it back and they sorted it out so Tonbridge know how to cause the problem and how to fix it. When the latest car was done, there were already menus missing that I should have had (couldn't access the Chrono and lack of displays in the centre of the cluster), so they did them at the same time.

chipmunk Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Thanks Araf - I think they must have forgotten. I will remind them of your experience. I must admit I'd forgotten about the Chrono - that's also missing now. Think I need to give them a list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
