Thought I'd drop some coding tips here that I have added so far using a LAUNCH X431.

1. Rear LED running lights:
FRONT END ELECTRONICS > Coding Value - Exterior Lighting - DDL with Position and Tail Light = YES

2. Instrument Cluster lights on always with Tach & Speedo, independent of Auto lights:
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER > Configuration - All Dials White = YES

3. One Touch Flasher Cycles:
FRONT END ELECTRONICS > Exterior Light Parameters - One Touch Flashing Cycles = x
(default is 3, but can make any value 1 to 10)

4. Teardrop wipe:
FRONT END ELECTRONICS > WWS-Coding-Teardrop function active

5. Seatbelt warnings:
FRONT END ELECTRONICS > Kodierwert-Coding byte 2-Driver seatbelt warning (dash red light)= Deactivated
FRONT END ELECTRONICS > Kodierwert-Coding byte 2-Passenger seatbelt warning (dash red light)= Deactivated
FRONT END ELECTRONICS > Kodierwert-Coding byte 2-USA seatbelt warning= Deactivated
FRONT END ELECTRONICS > Kodierwert-Coding byte 2-Acoustic seatbelt warning (sound/beep) = Deactivated

6. Comfort Entry seat adjustment:
DIVER SIDE SEAT MEMORY> Comfort Entry/Exit adjustment travel-E/A adjustment travel in seat fore/aft adjustment = 0 to 40, default =26

7. Remember Auto Stop/Start (***):
AIR CONDITIONING> Default Driving State Coding Value = Last Mode
AIR CONDITIONING> Default Driving State Coding Value Last Mode = Yes

8. Headlamp washer interval (stops headlamp washers from activating after 10 wiper washer cycles)
FRONT END ELECTRONICS > Wipe/Wash parameter - Wash process until first operation = 9999

which x431 do you have?

RoadrunnerGTS

LAUNCH X431 V Pro 4.0
Any Launch will work as long as states it is Bi-Directional

Do you know if you can code Operation and Climate? I really want to code Last Mode but i'm not sure if I should get a cloned PIWIS 3 or if I can get away with spending half as much on a x431.

Thanks

RoadrunnerGTS

Not sure. Apparently vast majority of PIWIS coding functionality is also available on X431. I haven't looked into climate settings as I have memory per key which retains saved AC temps and fan.

One of the things I want to code is the "Remember Last State" of the console buttons, so that I don't have to punch the Auto-Start-Stop button every freaking time I get in the car. I'm hoping the Launch can do that one, as I'm planning to buy one in the next week or so.

RoadrunnerGTS

No you can't code that. You need to add one of these modules for that.

I never drive in Normal mode so doesn't worry me, just flip to Sport or Individual and done

Any option for mirror dip on reverse on cars with just the two way seats? Would love to be able to do that.

Can you code???

1.) European Fully-Adaptive LED Light Operation instead of the dumbed down LED lights setting for the U.S. market? Had that done on my F80 M3 and it was incredible! Fricken laser show!

2.) Is there a way to program the Boxster roof to open without the windows immediately raising once the top finishes the opening procedure. Had installed the Smart Top on my prior 991.2 Cab and it was SO much more convenient. Adds one-touch down and up functionality. Looked into the 718 Boxster version, but it requires you to use wiretaps which I’ve done before on an AMG CLK 63 Cab, but my preference is to avoid wiretaps if possible.

Is there also a setting to light the tach and speedo needles when the cluster lights are set to always ON? White dials must have black needles but black dials have orange needles that light up with headlights but aren't lighting up with the "all white dials" = YES coding.

Z06jerry

Yes with PIWIS 3. There is a setting to choose windows up or windows down after roof is opened. Don't know about x431. Take a look at this thread starting at #100.

@RoadrunnerGTS Oh, but it can be coded, using Engineering mode in PIWIS. Not sure if X431 can do it, none of the several coding threads on multiple forums I'm tracking has tried it with X431 (yet). See here:

From what I've read on this it doesn't remember ALL console button settings. For example, apparently the Sport and PSE button states are not recalled. But Auto-Start/Stop and PASM buttons do remember the last state.

718socal

If you have access to the BKE module with X431, you can try to change those settings. After I changed those settings with PIWIS, only *** and PASM remember the last state.

So I think the point here is: if you want Auto Blip and PSE to be remembered, you’re essentially obligated to get the T Design module (which, for the record, I have and thoroughly recommend).

RoadrunnerGTS

OK, will take a look, however I have *** and cylinder deactivation permanently disabled via ME tune, so not really an issue for me. As others mentioned this only does *** and PASM.
