Any chance you could snap a photo of the location? I don't want to start unplugging things I'm uncertain of. If you could describe it's colour or number of connections that would help if there's no picture.
Thanks for the help

The install was a bit more complicated than the 06 997S install
Ashtray switch to fuse box should save time.
Thanks - called them and they didnt think they could do it for some reason - although they are still looking into it. Wanted to know that its been done (on a car that was ordered w/o it)..

I am going to agree with the statement above. Why not take a look at the aftermarket? It will probably save you a lot of work, hassle, some reduction in weight, and with some research you can probably find the sounds you want through a couple youtube videos.

Carnewal is selling a neat remote mod for the turning on/off the PSE. 150 Euros is close to $225USD. No wiring, switches, etc. Anybody ever seen one of these?

http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p97084.htm :

P97 PSE Manual Control
The PSE on the P97-1 and P97-2 needs to be activated every time you start the car by pushing the "Sport" and/or "PSE" button.
And even if you have decided to set the PSE in the loud setting, the DME will always switch the PSE to silent between 45 and 75km/h.
On most cars, it's also not possible to have the PSE on when the Sport setting is switched off.
We now offer a plug and play solution that allows you to control the PSE manually, with memory function and all this via remote control.
The 2 channel remote has a "loud" and "silent" button so you can be 100% sure of the setting, even before you start the engine.
If you switch off the ignition, the last setting will be stored so next time you start the car, the PSE will still be in the same position so it's not necessary to push any of the buttons first, in order to get the PSE in the setting that you prefer.

Price : 150 Euro. Dollar Conversion
For every P97-1 or P97-2 with factory equipped or dealer retrofitted PSE sport exhaust.
Easy to connect and 100% reversible.

That can be accomplished with a $20 12 volt remote control relay.I have one I purchased for my Westy camper and haven't used it and decided to go with my ashtray switch instead.

You will have to make your own connector if you don't have the factory plug!
Or you can spend $150....Sorry $220 US

By the way the PSE is always left ON if the solenoid is not energized. So my car always can start up with PSE on, unless I turn it off!

My car has the factory Aerokit yet it has the switch to raise or lower the rear spoiler as if it didn't have such Aerokit. Does anyone know if it can be used to control the PSE like the ashtray switch? If this switch doesn't work, are there any other factory switches that go on the console that can be turned on/off to control the PSE and still look like a factory item?

I have this useless switch as well. Not sure if would work, but like the idea.

No additional battery or plug-ins. The unit gets its power from the existing wires. plug-and-play. It's not possible to screw this one up!

It's always on or always off, and it remembers your last setting. no idiot speed cutout anymore! (you didn't pay for the pse to do that, right?)

Just curious if anyone was ever able to turn their spoiler switch into a PSE on/off controller?
