Yes from codefastbuy. But the same code worked for both AC and PCM for me.

Here's my build sheet. Hopefully it sheds some light on what options affect the programming of the modules.

Interesting. I wonder if these people better understand the coding for Sports Chrono and would be able to help people who are stuck. For a price I'm sure.

Just wanted to add to this thread to hopefully help the new guy. I was able to get the sport plus to work but there were additional instructions not in this thread, so just wanted to share my feedback. I was able to get Sports Plus to work but not launch control, wah wah.

I obtained a code for my VIN and used it in the PCM and AC sections and both would say "code accepted". I would go to activate the 'sports plus' button (as a random button for now to test) and it wouldn't actually turn on anything. bummer.

I noticed that in the vehicle maintenance data it didn't have me showing options for sport chrono or sports chrono plus, BUT I found an option under the compass section and selected it there.

VIOLA!

Now the button assigned to sports plus turns ON the sports plus in the dash, and has the new driving style. BE AWARE if you select all modules and do an automatic coding, it will erase any custom piwis work you've done in the past (such as gt3 steering calibration, PTV, and no warning dings for safety belts for example). I did have to go into the engineering mode to enable the G force menu, but couldn't get the others to work.

One thing to note, i DO NOT have a sports chrono clock (yet hehe) and for some reason I DO NOT have launch control. My car is a 2013 pdk base, but it's been a fun little add. If I get the clock setup or figure out a way to enable the launch control i'll report back here. If anyone else has figured out a way to enable the SC option AND get the launch control to work (and did not have a sport chrono clock) please let me know. I doubt i'll EVER use it (I barely ever use it in my 991 turbo) but for when I sell the car, I'd like it to feel like it should as if it came equipped with the car from the factory. We shall see...

The only thing I want is launch control. Oh well.
