UPDATE

Disable Production Mode in PCM after coding

If you are coding your PCM or Headunit, the screen might go dark on your PCM. I have seen this on Stock and AIO PCM, every time that you code the PCM. It will go in Production Mode (dark screen). You need to deactivate Production Mode from the Maintenance and Repairs tab below. Select Produktionmodus deaktivieren then click on Next twice and Start the job by clicking F8.Start. At the end click on Next to return to the main menu. You will also see a Service Mode message on top of the screen. This will disappear once you disconnect your VCI connector. If you have a Carlinkit or Ottobox module for Wireless Android Auto or CarPlay, I would highly recommend that you disconnect it before coding your PCM.

^^^ Yup, this happened to me after I fixed my automatic time issue (my PCM had the incorrect coding for automatic time synchronization with GPS causing my car to display DST all the time). Thankfully @718socal knew about the issue and de-activated production mode bringing my PCM back to life!

Yeah this happened to me too before I installed AIO. It took me two days to figure it out. No PCM screen for two days

To be clear, the first picture I posted was from simulation mode (not my actual car). I connected to PIWIS and discovered my actual settings are also 100, 100, 100.



settings from my '22 Boxster GTS 4.0

Very strange. The 2 simulation data that I had were from Canadian Spyders. Now we need to confirm on the US Spyder.

I’ll piggy back to this as it happens to me too each time I code the PCM, and if I auto code all modules, then my rear camera also goes out (each time), I suspect cause the camera needs the PCM communication to fully code but by then the PCM is out. What I end up having to do is get PCM out of production mode and then go back and recode the rear camera. I freaked out the first time this happened. Luckily @rnlst_log came and rescued me. Lol.

Has anyone figured out how to disable the PDK gear kickdown?

Have you looked in the PDK module?

Yea I have. There aren't any options to code. I guess it's a separate TCU that you need tuners like COBB or M-Engineering in order to modify.

Happened to me as well. Ended up bringing it up when it was at the dealer to fit a piece of brake duct-work the factory miss-shipped. Took them a couple hours, but they figured it out and recoded everything. Now I knw how to avoid that.

Hahaha. I can't believe that this is not documented by Porsche.

Default anyone try this!?




im tested ***, sport setting.
it just show settings but does not apply.

and can enable several more options, such as PDK Eco.

Currently, I cannot use piwis, so I do not remember the coding items.

After some additional coding
maybe enable PDK Coasting mode while A-S/S is off

There are other features you can enable in the cluster. That does not mean they would work. Additionall coding is necessary. For *** offf, you can just code the BKE to remember the last mode
