GulNawaz Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Our 718 Boxster currently does not have front parking sensors, does anyone know if these can be fitted seperately. The vehicle is on a 68 plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 OEM, to keep the warranty? I thought the graphic in the binnacle screen means it could be costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 It isn't an official retrofit, so not a total doddle. I also have rear sensors only, but I intend to have a go at fitting the front ones sometime. I have been gathering the parts slowly, and so far have got a PDC control unit, a set of sensors and (rare as hen's teeth) mounting clips. I've also got a wiring loom, set of connectors, a punch to make the holes, and a few other bits and bobs. I need a roof console, but there are so many variants it is a bit of a minefield. I haven't yet been able to find one that looks exactly right. Nor can I find from the parts catalogue the part number of the one I need to match the options I have. Once I find that, I'll be giving it a go, but it probably won't be until next year. Without wishing to take over this thread (sorry, OP) does anyone have a 718 with front sensors, but without the interior light package? In other words, a roof console that has just the two interior lights with switches, and a switch for the parking sensors? If so, any chance of a photo?

Richard Hamilton Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 That's exactly what I wanted, thank you! All the ones I have seen on eBay have "passenger airbag off" written on them, but mine doesn't and nor does yours. It is something to do with the Advanced Airbag option. I just can't find the one like yours on the parts list. I'll have to keep looking.http://www.richard-hamilton.co.uk/misc/porsche/roofconsole.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Richard, mine looks just like the one in @Graham W picture above. I'd never noticed the switch to be honest. If you get stuck, let me know and I will see if I can look in the back of the one I have for the part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thanks Eddie, but I think I've worked it out now. It looks like its a 991 part number. 99161313310. There is one on eBay, but a bit pricy. I'm in no great rush, so I'll bide my time and hold out for a bargain. You ofter see them in the US for about $50.
