Yes, I have made and stored hundreds of maps(aka calibration files) for DSC users worldwide. Send me an email request and I'll reply with the map to suit your description. My email is: tchan@tpcracing.com
As I understand it if you select Sport Plus with the factory controller it locks the mounts Will the DSC conroller do that as well? Thinking about track use primarily or other aggressive driving like twisties in the mountains. car is a 991.1 GTS cab.

Tom another question on the engine mounts

But if you chose to, you can use DSC software to change the engine commands to the maximum value(100%) for all driving situations to produce the full stiff all the time effect. This can be done to the damper as well if so desired.
We have found that in general, having solid mounts is better than floppy soft mounts for high performance/track driving.
"In general" are the key words there. But dissecting a cornering event what we really want is stiffer mounts for corner entry and controlled drivetrain weight distribution to improve exit grip(like adding a little bit of downforce via mechanical loading instead of aero). DSC standard mapping is programmed to do this.

The short answers is no. DSC controls the engine mounts in an active manner, in the same manner as it controls individual dampers on the car; as the g-force, the driver inputs, and the rate of change increases the commands to stiffen increases to counter the load.

1) the stock set up for most driving
2) separate set for track.

Questions for those with experience with aftermarket warranty:
Does the TPC module negate their coverage?
I'm assuming we'd all pull the file and go back to stock before any issue is addressed by shop, however if one forgets/can't, what has been the experience?

Some of this info is already in post #33 of this thread. We refer to the DSC Dynamic Engine Mount control as "Driveline". (see post #33).
The DSC Driveline Normal mode is already programmed to stiffen up in a milder way than the DSC Driveline Sport mode.

Sorry my reply didn't indicate that DSC does have two modes for the Dynamic Engine Mounts. And that both DSC Dynamic Engine Mount modes are active. So there's no need for a DSC user to create his own maps, that is unless the user has a specific reason to.

DSC works great with PDCC.
They don't fight each other at all.
Explanation:
PDCC basically turns the sway bar force on or off by using an electronic sway bar link(a mini electronic damper), this function allows for cars with this option to be factory equipped with heavy rate sway bars without the harsh low speed ride that's associated with heavy rate sway bars.
Another words, it temporarily disconnects the sway bars at under 17-ish mph to improve low speed comfort over mild bumps. Above the threshold speed the mini electronic damper links engage and then the sway bars work like any other.
I think that any driver who owns or has owned a car with adjustable sway bars and tried the different adjustment holes to dial in street comfort versus handling performance can appreciate this option.
DSC complements PDDC by further improving low speed compliance over bumps. At higher speeds with the sway bars fully engaged the DSC active damping commands really shine.

I do that all the time. Thankfully I have co-workers here to keep me in check.
Sounds good. If you need more info on the topic feel free to give me a call. I may be able to explain better one-on-one over the phone.

I think PDCC is a wonderful thing, at low speeds(under 20mph) in many situations you almost don't want to have sway bar action.
Here's photo showing the mini electronic damper sway bar link.
This car rocks the show!

My DSC v3 was delivered today , can’t wait to install it.
Just had to share.
