Evening all

My eunos has this strange box under the steering wheel , any idea what it's for ? It has 6 buttons on the top you can switch to on / off . I've never touched it or altered any of the settings. Is it something boring like an immobiliser or some thing more exciting. The car had a few mods done in Japan before it was imported

Don't they have toll bar auto pay in Japan ?

Just a guess

I don't think it's been previously turbo'd although it came to the uk with updated suspension, 4 point cage , air con removed etc so it is possible

Might go out tomorrow and flick a few of the buttons and see what happens.

I showed my mate who is a self proclaimed 'expert in imported eunoses' but he didn't have a clue

The garage who have maintained the car for the last 3 years ( independent Porsche specialist ) told me they have no idea what it is, don't touch it !

I want to touch it, I can't resist

Here's some instructions I found on t'internet.


ON OFF
1: PN auto-detect release release PN auto detect
2:Bonnet open non wiring wiring
3:starter detect L-shaped terminal auto detect
4:auto stopping timer 30 mins 15mins
5:turbo timer 1min use don't use
6:grow time 4sec use don't use

What it means, well.

1: play with it, see if it makes a difference, I think in ON mine won't remote start
2: there is supposed to be abonnet switch, so when the bonnet is open you can't remote start the car. I haven't got a bopnnet switch, so this acts as a global on-off
3: play with it till it works, deffinately on mine L-shaped does funny things, auto works
4redfacene remote started, how long to run for before turning off
5: turbo timer on or off
6: increase glow plug time by 4 secs, turn on in winter off in summer.



Have you got the remote for the remote starting function? It's probably long gone!

Wow butter face some decent info there, how did you find it ? Thanks !

You are correct in that I certainly don't have any sort of remote, just 2 of the most basic keys you have ever seen.

I really want to go and test it now, however I am currently at my property in the city , after 3 glasses of red wine I don't want to go out playing with it on Halloween at this time of night. I will resist and give it a full test in the morning

Just checking, from your response it seems like you have a similar box?

No mate, just a bit of digging around. I had a JDM Crx Del Sol once that had been fitted with silly JDM boxes and just a good old bit of googling, the instructions above I copied from another site. Good luck!
