View inside the smuggler box. Red arrow points to the stud I used as ground point for the compressor unit. The blue arrows point to the exiting openings from the original AC which I closed.


Grey connector:
Blue/Red – wiper pin 53i (green wire)
Blue/white – switch for rear/front windshield heating - pin 3

Looking through the clock opening in the dashboard to the wiper motor. Red arrow indicates pin i53 (green wire) – wiper at full speed. To test if you have found the right pin/cable, just turn the wiper to full speed, if he doesn’t work, you disconnected the right one.


I used the original mounting bracket, which is still available from Porsche for around 10€, for the on/off push button. I had to enlarge the original hole slightly. I am not sure what to do with the second hole.


Fusebox:
Blue/yellow – top of fuse 6 (arrow ‘1’)
Black/yellow (switched live) – fuse 15 (arrow ‘2’)
Yellow (switched live) – fuse 15 (arrow ‘2’)
Red – fuse 18 (arrow ‘3’) (empty on my car), I also connected the red wire from the fan and the red wire of the on/off button to this fuse

That’s was what I thought but it was really hard work especially at the left hand side of the car because of the almost non existing space for anything (duct, hand, srewdriver,…)


Done!
