Durametric coding 987.2 - dumb questions
Hi all. I recently had to replace my rear control module because of clogged drains. I bought a Foxwell to reset something’s but it didn’t have enough options, so I have rented a Durametric Pro (this has all been going on for like a month now). So now I am ready to make all necessary changes but am unsure about some things, maybe you can help? The battery was disconnected for a few days for various/obvious reasons so I have a lot to do.

- My convertible top will go up and down if I use the ‘activation’ (testing) functions in the Durametric software. However, the buttons don’t work and the car doesn’t seem to be aware it has a convertible top (no warnings of any sort based on top position). I found this comment that indicates there are options I may need to enable/disable? I’ll also check the relays but it was all working fine previously and again, no errors. I *have* selected ‘convertible’ under ‘rear module/coding/vehicle type’.
- This one is very dumb: I have options to choose manual/pdk/pdk with gear shift. I have PDK and the shifter that lets me toggle by moving it right to left. That’s pdk w/ gs, correct? When in the modules, I should choose Automatic for transmission, yes?
- When I start the car, the climate control display flashes for about 10 seconds…this is new. Little video of it happening. Excuse the mess, I have removed the (aftermarket) radio and am cleaning everything.
- Previously, I could control my windows after I took the key out, with the doors open (for instance, if I opened the door and realized I left the window down). Now I can not.
There are a few other little things bugging me but I think I will be able to handle them thanks to previous posts and google. I can post screenshots of things if necessary.
Thank you in advance! PS: If you’re in the East Tennessee area and want to help and/or program your car before this time next week, let me know!

I'm pretty sure, but not 100% certain, that the new rear control module needs to be coded to the car. Not surprisingly, the rear control module controls the top and a bunch of other things. That would be my first step.
Fixed the top by enabling 'soft top' in, if I recall, Rear Module. Not worried about the AC flashing, whatever. The door coding is more a matter of programming it manually with the key. Overall the Dura allowed me to fix nearly everything. I have it for a few more days if anyone has any questions about specific screens or options. ×
