This vid goes into setups for SUV, but it is more or less the same for 911. You can watch the whole thing or skip to around 2:45 where they explain saving setting to your key. Basically, do all the setting you want, press SET and the key icon on the door, and your personal settings will be saved to the key in the car. If you wife drives the car, you can set her personal settings the same way on her key.

You don't want to be in special function. Choose Automatically Select. It should determine the car you have then hit OK. Then choose system selection. Then Select the appropriate System for the code you want to adjust (Note: This is the system listed for the codes you want to change such as Front-end Electronics, Rear-End Electronics, Instrument Cluster or Air Conditioning). Then choose Code Brush Hiding then Brush Hidden Modified then find the codes you want to modify.
If you don't know what to change, check out my coding guide at this link: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1384...l#post19200101
While the guide is for a 718, many of the changes work on other Porsches including the 991.

Burning Brakes
Here are some basic instructions to assist anyone who is less then intuitive;
THINKDIAG Quick Start System Reference
1) Plug unit into OBD 2 Port (Green Lights on unit when plugged in correctly)
2) Ignition ON, Engine OFF
3) Select All Systems Diagnostics (Blue Lights on unit)
4) Select Vin Decoding > VIN should be Found automatically
5) System Select (Select system as desired to code options in that system)
Example: Auto Stop/Start set to “Last State”
1) Select AC > Code Brush Hiding > Rule Coding > Coding Value > “Default Driving State Coding Value = Eco ON” (Change this to “Last State”)
2) Select AC > Code Brush Hiding > Rule Coding > Coding Value > “Default Driving State Coding Value Last Mode = No” (Change this to “Yes”)
3) Select "write", then after confirmation, use back arrow (upper left) to return to step 5 (System Select) above.
I hope this helps those you are having some issues. It is really very simple following these basic instructions.1) Plug unit into OBD 2 Port (Green Lights on unit when plugged in correctly)
2) Ignition ON, Engine OFF
3) Select All Systems Diagnostics (Blue Lights on unit)

I see people reporting that you can tweak the Sound Symposer using Thinkdiag in a 718. Are these options also available for 991? This is an excerpt from the coding guide for 718:
20. Change Sound Symposer (Soundaktor) Sound Loudness Level (done and works) -- You can change the Sound Symposer (Soundaktor) sound volume, or even turn it off. The Soundaktor is a device that produces artificial engine sound to “enhance” the sound of the engine
in the cabin. I changed this value on my car to 0% since I think that the engine sounds better without artificial engine sound.
Sound Symposer: Loudness_actuator_for_structure_borne_sound = 0 {Default: 100}
[you can set this figure to any value between 0 to 100%].

Thanks for the reply @Ken718B and @981KMAN , I'm following the same instructions however I don't get the "code brush hiding" option in the list. FYI, thinkdiag is brand new bought just 2 weeks ago, I verified I have the free year of full access active and have double checked that the Porsche files are downloaded.

i don't know why you don't have the code brush option. if you upload pictures of the steps you are taking maybe we can help. i would be surprised if it is not just wrong steps you are taking.

Can someone provide a link for the tool with which I can code GT3 steering software for my 2015 S? I use an Android phone for what it's worth. I see a number of versions on their website.

"Sound symposers
In addition to the new exhaust systems, two sound symposers provide for a particularly emotional sound in the passenger compartment. They transfer the load-dependent pressure differences upstream of the throttle valve to a diaphragm causing this to vibrate and transmit the engine sound directly into the passenger compartment. In normal mode, one sound symposer opens above an engine speed of 1,800 rpm.
In SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode, the second sound symposer is additionally activated at all engine speeds. During deceleration, the first sound symposer is always closed and the second is closed between 3,500 and 1,800 rpm."

It was off 2 mph at 80. Not the end of the world, but why put up with it, if it's easily corrected.
I often use cruise control when not in a hurry, to stay out of ticket trouble. i figure that 5 mph or ten percent over the speed limit--whichever is greater--will keep me out of trouble. So I appreciate precision int his measure.
Of course, if the Porsche engineers had a gram of brain, they would use the car's built-in GPS to periodically calibrate the car's speedometer, thus correcting for tire wear and changes.

Is your cruise control off 1 or 2 mph as a result of this coding? If I set my cruise control to 70, the car only goes 68 or 69? My guess is that the cruise control is using the speed of the car without the correction.
