FWIW, I have had my T-Design9 module installed for a couple of weeks now, multiple drives and no issues with the rear spoiler so far...

The product description only describes the following functions:

1) Console module for 991, 981, 718, Cayenne will remember the state of Sport, Sport+, A/S/S, AutoBlip and PSE buttons on your console.

I very much doubt that the module can cause this to happen, its the ECU that is responsible for the speed related operation of the wing ... I'll keep mine installed ...

speaking of wings ... have you seen this? https://www.fvd.net/us-en/FVD5127180...-gel-coat.html

Guys, we sell these for about 6 years now... 981/718 ALWAYS had speed dependent spoiler operation. But our module does not touch the spoiler code. At least not the usual code for 981/718. If 2021 spyder had have a different code for the wing and the module would mess with wing operation somehow... first - we would hear about it first, tested and fixed it by now. We are watching all the boards. We stay in touch in customers. We provide support all the way.
And secondly - all of your guys with Spyders would have constant wing operation failure. Our module doesn't work arbitrary. It takes care of certain codes/buttons. Always.

Porsche electronics on the other hand, are notoriously buggier every year. I have a PASM errors on my 19 Cayenne almost every month. And dealer has no clue what to do anymore. I just stopped going there. The error clears itself, eventually, in a day or two.

Don’t do it. It would only make things worse.
