My buddy programmed mine to stay deployed always. I was having a sensor issue where at 80mph, both front and rear would retract.

 

Who's your buddy, and can you post the values in PIWIS he used to deploy them permanently? TIA.

 

This, plenty cool enough. You will be the envy of all your friends.

 

you are completely missing the point. The system has failed and the front spoiler retracts when you hit 75mph which also retracts the rear spoiler. Porsche seems unwilling or unable to resolve the issue.

 

I've already paid 1800$ do fix and recalibrate it once. When it gives up completely, I'll pull all of it out and replace it with a gt3 spoiler.

 

Exactly!! You could replace the entire $7K system and still have it fail in a short time afterwards! I’m thinking the GT3 option is the best long term solution.

 

Already went through this. Most likely it’s the control unit in the frunk (already replaced mine), a possible hose that disconnected or a bladder tear.

 

easy to do with piwis, i set it to deploy at 250km/h and now it never deploys(unless i hit 150mph) while the rear spoiler still works normally. i also wanted the front spoiler to still still deploy in sport plus (which you can turn off as well with piwis) but i left that setting on.

you can also just turn the warning off in the instrument cluster coding using a Piwis as well, if thats whats annoying you

 

I’ve had the unit out twice hoping to find something. The system is intact with no leaks or disconnections. I am contemplating replacing the pressure sensor but it’s not available separately anymore. You have to purchase the entire unit for $1500 or something.

 

If I can ask, how much was your PIWIS? Any additional modules that you had to purchase?

 

It depends if you get it with a laptop or not but you need the software on a laptop and the VCI that plugs into the cars OBD2. I just got an old Hp laptop (must have 1920x1080 resolution) and purchased the VCI and a SSD drive with the software on it. It’s super cheap for the capabilities, and since I have a cayenne and 911 it’s been an invaluable tool. Link below:

Did your HP have an extra drive slot? Does the software run on Windows 10? Thanks! I have a Dell Inspiron 1558, intel I7, 16G ram, 1920x1080 display but only 1 HDD slot.

 

nope just 1 slot, you remove the laptops original hard drive, and replace it with the one they send you (the only ones i've ever seen are SSD SATA drives, ive never seen NVMe or M.2 so you need a laptop with SATA port). The hard drive has windows 10 on it and the PIWIS software installed on it. It boots right up, and after you get it booted, they will RDP in and activate windows/and get it all setup for you. Your laptop should be perfect.

 

Thanks Mike! I have piwis2, but it’s funky because it runs on XP and has to be in virtual mode to run.

 

please can you help me out too. I’m not sophisticated with the technical side and the dealership wants $10k.

look g for idiot proof support on how to get the front spoiler codes out in the Porsche Integrated Workshop Information System.

thank you so much.
