I made a separate retrofit thread documenting the process a while back. It's now a couple of pages back in the forum https://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-...ware-side.html

Everything works except that I obviously don't have the dynamic engine mounts. I was in the same boat wondering if it was possible and wanted to confirm that the activation code fully unlocks the Sport Chrono software since it was always just a few guys from here and on other forums claiming to have done it without any real details.

I don't think SC is needed on street on 981. Sport mode is good enough. It's also tough finding any 981 cars with SC these days, even before the SC stop-sale issue that came to light.
