it was just 4-5 clicks and a picking GT3 electronic steering software from a drop down. The actual change took a couple of seconds at the most.

it is my understanding that early 991 cars aren’t able to make this change with thinkdiag+.
could be a software difference between early 991.1 and later 991.1 cars
I know for a fact that the steering on both of my 991.1GTs (2015 and 2016) feels very different from my model year 2012 991.1carrera S.
I am also told that the warning and yellow light means GT3 software change did not take place and instead it some sort of failsafe.
hope this helps.

Hello All,
Working on a 991.1S Cab
I got the unit primarily to program the top control from the keyfob and one touch from the switch but I can't get it to work. I was able to change all the values excepts for
"Rear-End Electronics: Coding value-Equipment-Eqipment for convertivle top control equipment available=Yes"
In the instructions I see that this should be "yes" by default but mine says "no" by default and when I try to write "yes" is gives me an error. If I select "no" and then write it succeeds so I'm not sure what is going on.
All the other modifications for the top control did write except for this one. I tried re-starting the car and the app but no dice. I also programmed one touch control from button and all those did write but that is not working either.
Since the description here is "Equipment for convertivle top control equipment available=Yes" I'm thinking that this one if key for both these top control changes (keyfob and one touch) to work so I'm hoping someone has some advise?
I did change the performance/torque display and emergency brake display and those work fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Just as a follow up to this I was able to change coding to control the windows up/down from the keyfob just can't get any of the convertible top programming to work.

I am using a Launch CRP919X and have a 982. Anyone know if the GT3 change can be made on a 982? I didn't think my Launch CRP919X can do autocoding? Where is this dropdown that lets you change the steering to GT3. My understanding is that the Thinkdiag and my CRP919X are pretty similar. Is this something that the Thinkdiag can do that my Launch CRP919X cannot.
Also, I am not familiar with a Thinkdiag +. What can that do that the Thinkdiag can't? It sounds like it can perform autocoding like a PIWIS. Is that correct? I have until the end of the month to return my Launch CRP919X so if there is a better option I would like to know.

I did like the way the steering felt after the change to GT3 steering but I'm concerned that it may cause some kind of steering failure if I run it that way. Anyone been running GT3 mod after getting the dash warning?

If this is not possible with the 991, you may want to consider a Smartop which adds these functions and more to your car. Check out this site: smartTOP - Porsche 911 Convertible (991) (motivemods.com)

He indicates in the post that he doesn't know what coding he used to make it work but he was posting on the Rennlist 718 forum that the 718 coding was not working for him so my guess is that once he modified his key the coding worked.

In the end it's still a must have setting in my opinion.

works only for .1. 991.1 Carreras and GT3 share similar components in the steering column. This coding sets the GT3 steering software calibration and changes the feel. Doesn't make it a GT3 though (steering feel is driven by other elements like suspension, calibrations... There maybe a feedback module in the gt3 that carreras don't have).
In the end it's still a must have setting in my opinion.
