I see from the screenshot, "Macan" - what year Macan? Because my PIWIS III on v40.something won't properly decode a lot of the modules on my 2023 Macan GTS. Need a PIWIS IV to do a lot of things.
Is this behaviour a Macan specific thing or is it the same with the 718 series? I bought PIWIS 3 specifically for my 2023 718 Spyder but haven't found the time to connect it...

My guess is, it's more of a "generation" thing. The 718 has been around since 2017, doubtful the modules themselves have had any major updates or changes.
The current Macan only came out a year ago, all new stuff. So I would expect that your 23 Spyder will probably be fine.
@jean458 Is it possible your BKE module went into production mode?; select BKE and go to Maintenance/Repairs and see if you can get it out of production mode... just a thought.
Hello,
I really need help.
I did this for start and stop coding and now all my central console is not working : no A/C, no PASM, no light .... all these gateway are unreachable...
Here are the values now. (and I think it was the same numbers before)
Really need help 🥲
thanks
I just realized you coded *** Off. It should be Remember Last Mode and Enable Last Mode.
So this is my car : Macan diesel model year 2018 (produced in 2017).
It is the first time I use PIWIS 3. I have v41.100.000 which seems only in production mode. And 38.250 which is Engineer mode.
The BKE module is not detected and I guess it was the case since the beginning :
If I open another gateway, it is detected and I can code it, for example :
So What I did to get this issue is :
1/ I went to code Last Auto Start/stop without knowing BKE module wasn't detected.
2/ I changed values from 50220 to "Aktive" and "Ein" for Start/stop OFF & Start/stop last mode
I clicked "Write" 2 or 3 times and it says "10010:Errors occurred while writing" but the next time it took the value 😯
3/ I turn off and on the ignition, and now nothing works in the central console nor on the roof panel. Looks like the BKE module create this mess.
I really hope I will not have to go to Porsche and get a minimum of $1000 bill to replace the AC gateway 😣
Maybe if someone with the same car options send me the data of his BKE module I can write it on mine?

Always scan for errors before coding. You want to know which modules are available before you start coding. The BKE controls the AC unit, Center and Upper console. I don't know where you got your PIWIS and it might have incomplete files. Send me a PM and I'll try
to help you
Has anyone tried to changing the emissions concept to eliminate the rear O2 sensors and avoiding a MIL when running headers with sport cats, or no cats at all? I know some of the tuners eliminate this with their ECU tunes, just wondering if this is possible and what they're deactivating or changing when that is done?

Just a shot in the dark, but if you do automatic coding, it typically overwrites any manual coding you've done on that module. I've accidentally overwritten a lot of changes before by doing a modification that requires changing an M code and doing the auto programming. Might be worth a try as it will try to load what it thinks is your stock configuration.

He can’t even see the module with PIWIS so Auto Coding is not an option. What is strange is that he could change the values initially. I asked him to check the fuse
Thanks to 718socal who helped me a lot, the module is unreachable and we cannot do something by the software.
I cannot figure out why the values were accepted (after trying to write x2 or x3 times) whereas the module was never detected by PIWIS ... but this must have brick the module.
Next steps : check fuses, disconnect battery, replace the module.
you probably need a new fresh install of the piwis.
I had used piwis 38.250 to code my 992 gt3 only once, but after that it never picked up the modules. in hindsight, I don't even know why 38.250 was able to code it to begin with. Once, I got a newer version of piwis, I was able to code things with ease

This’ what you need…. just search for J style O2 sensor spacer. Only this type of spacer will help. Just trust me.

Messing around with coding and the PIWIS is not for the feint of heart! Sorry to hear you have likely bricked your module. . You might have luck finding a replacement on eBay and doing a module replacement with the PIWIS... but at this point, if I were in your shoes, I'd find a Porsche indy shop that has a PIWIS and pay them to sort it. Generally shops that do a lot of racing (and specialize in Porsche) will be pretty good with the PIWIS because they are often deleting modules on race cars that aren't needed. Find out who the local "big" shops are that support your local PCA Club Racers and go there.
