They'd need to be the exact button layout as existing or will need recoding with Porsche PIWIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Also available brand new for about £235 from an OPC, before discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, been having a nosey and there is a few units but they have a variety of different layouts, none matching mine.. Ordered a chrome pen from Amazon, I'll see if I can touch it up a little and keep my eyes peeled for a matching unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey P Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 A bit expensive, but you could perhaps buy this, and then swap the roof buttons over, and try to resell it with the damaged one in place? If someone needs the other bits they might not mind the roof one being damaged? Just a thought anyway. 2012-2016 981 PORSCHE BOXSTER S CENTRE CONSOLE STABILITY ROOF SWITCH 99161326102 | eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
