The BOSCH ML3.1 series Motronic Fuel Injection systems, used in the late model Porsche 944, 944 Turbo & 911, is actually 4 DMEs in a single package. Two coded connector plugs are used to switch between the four maps sets.  The first a 2-pin connector "Impedance Adapter"  is a 1.8K ohm resistor. The second connector "Coding Plug" is a wire across a 2-pin shorting plug. The US DME is selected with both connectors not used.  The "Impedance Adapter"  disables the DME's Lambda Sensor (This changed in 1988).

The Porsche 944 ML3.1 coding has 4 options. Only due to the small size of the 2732 EPROM, it was limited to three map sets, not four. 

Options DME #0 (US/Canada) and  DME #2 (California/Japan) share the same map set.

In 1987, the Porsche 911 ML3.1 changed to the larger 2732 EPROM and used multiple maps. Options are similar to the 944 tables  above. The following special adapter allows the use of the  altitude box and  multiple maps. The DME responds to the altitude signal by leaning the fuel to 94%. The altitude box output signal is "open" when below 1000m and "shorted" when  above 1000m and  The "shorted" output of the altitude box negates the 1.8k ohm  of the Impedance Adapter. The 911 allows the altitude box to be plugged into the second connector.  The 911 adapter allows the use of multiple DME maps (ROW maps) with the altitude box installed. The DME sees 1.8k ohms without the altitude box signal and the DME sees 525 ohms with the altitude box "shorted". 1.8k ohm  in parallel  with 750 ohms is 525 ohms. Previously, the altitude box was only used on US 944 that do not use the1.8k ohm  Impedance Adapter. Porsche part no. 911.612.421.00.
  

Porsche Part    911.612.421.00

Prior to 1987, the Porsche 911 used a smaller 2716 EPROM that had room for just one map set.
