I don't know what you are referring to. I have not asked any questions about one touch. I have coded one touch and it is working to put the top down. However, one touch is not working to put the top up. I also have an ROW owner's manual that mentions one touch to put the top down but there is no mention of one touch closing of the top. For this reason, as well as the fact that I do see any other codes dealing with one touch, I don't believe it is possible.

By one touch I am referring to opening the top by pressing and releasing the control switch in the car. This does not work to put the top up. The control switch has to be held until the top completely closes.

The door handle only works to close the top. The door handle can’t be used to open the top.

Back to square one. I wonder if it is because I did this with the engine running and the sensor/ECU got confused? Or if it's a bad idea to enable all of these all at once. Will try again once I have a power supply, a little weary to program at 12.6V.

As I previously mentioned, I have no idea what the code for Ablagefixierung (Storage lock for the top when down) does. That could be what is causing the problem. Also, the post you are referring to only mentions one of the five codes to get the top working with the key fob. Here is the link to the required coding:

Note that on my 718 two of the five codes did not require changing.

General question: I have an April ‘24 GTS 4.0, EU spec.
Car is currently at the detailer for Xpel, straight from the Porsche dealer.

Is there a minimum Piwis version required to code this car?
I have access to a friend’s Piwis 3 v41.600 with engineering mode, but don’t want to mess things up due to a to old Piwis version.

Congrats on your new car. I think the minimum version is v38.xxx. You should be fine with 41.600.

Hi all. Is there a way to get piwis to list all the coding changes made since the car was delivered?

No easy way to get this. You can capture your simulation data before making any changes and compare with your actual data. When you run PIWIS in simulation mode, you are looking at captured data preloaded. You can also run a VAL before and after coding. Another option is to Auto Code each module and see what changes were made but that means you will need to recode what you wanted. I would only run Auto Code as a last resort. It is important that you document all the changes made with some screenshot or video. A cool feature in PIWIS 3 is that you can record your coding session.

thx.

I've done the screenshots and I have a spreadsheet with all old and new values

The reason I'm asking is that I wonder if the dealer can tell I've made changes and give me a hard time

I doubt they would be inclined to even look... unless the change you have made results in some issue that you ask them to investigate - their not CSI their car mechs!

Yeah I agree with Larry. Time is money for them. Almost all of the new cars that I coded had some errors and warnings. They could have cleared the errors but they did not. Same with cars out of repair. A few had the AC unit replaced and still had errors.

Stories I've heard are that the dealers will do anything to void warranties. eg, a guy was told his headline lens PPF voided warrantee, even tho it was dealer installed, lol. Another because he lowered his car

My dealership offered to do some more coding for me recently. They ended up trying and failed because they didn't have a PIWIS 3 - they had the 4 - and said they could not get into any of the screens I showed them to make changes... I then took the car to the indi shop that did all my original coding and they said that there was some update with the PIWIS system and could not get into the developer mode on any of the cars they'd been trying to.. said it was a wide spread issue after some software update on the PIWIS side? I may not be conveying this correctly but all to say - they could not do any more coding for me - they would let me know once the issue is resolved. Anyone else experience anything similar?

That’s a bummer. I haven’t looked at PIWIS 4. Maybe wait for @rnlst_log to offer this soon.

Thanks.

Tried and documented some stuff like disable auto-hold and enable auto-memory (have this in my 981, is disabled in the 718).
No issues, but this morning date of the car suddenly was completely wrong (year was 2079).
Reset date and time and now I have service warning when I start the car. Very strange.
Car drives perfectly normal. Did not readout error log yet.

Anybody already had this issue?
