Not sure how it works on Porsche but I would think that would also be necessary. The big unknown on Porsche is how the cars are wired from the factory, meaning each antenna, module, switch, etc would have to have a factory harness hidden somewhere in those spots. The Mercedes had most of them with a few small ones having to be added.
There's a bit of encouragement - how much did it cost the owner?

He was able to find one in a salvage yard and buy all the parts needed minus the keys for $1200 I think.... I dont remember labor, but the car had to be gutted and I mean GUTTED! Everything but the headliner and parts of the dash were removed. It was a fun install! Different and challenging but works great!! Would never know it's not factory.

Well, at least we know it's possible, but even w/salvage parts it still sounds cost prohibitive - at least for my budget. Thanks for the info!
