Understanding OEMatch Window Switch

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original window switch. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the window switch and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM window switch engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. A window switch is an electrical control that sends a signal to the window motor via the wiring harness and relevant convenience modules. Modern units can include illumination, lock and memory functions and may interface with vehicle electronics or multiplex systems; correct electrical compatibility and connector type are important when selecting a replacement. OEMatch catalogues over 4,000 part numbers with more than 8,700 OE cross-references and continues to develop additional items to extend model coverage across Porsche generations.
