And perhaps recently there was some maintenance, but as someone who's used the site for nearly 2 years I can't recall ever thinking to myself that there was instability or quality issues.... My $0.02 YMMV.

Hi,
happy new year all!!
I was wondering if anyone with an access to PIWIS could snap a few photos(screenshots) of the Steering -> speed dependent steering/Speed Sensitive Steering section.
I have been trying and requesting for months from my dealer to disable Power Steering Plus option on my 2012 991 C2S, have spoken to 3 different service advisers and as many technicians and all claim that this option cannot be removed. Unfortunately we only have one dealer in Dubai and no option to go elsewhere
I have heard many different stories, one Tech claimed that its built in the power steering module and that it would require replacement unit, other said that its a safety feature and Porsche would not allow them to disable it, third said that its possible that US/UK cars have this as option but in middle east (GCC cars) this option can not be removed.
any info on this would be appreciated, car is in at the dealer now for some other warranty work and would love to show them that it is indeed possible to do.
thanks!

Could be that in your geography PSP is not "removable" but doesn't jive with our fundamental understanding of PSP as an option. Simply a software edit using the PIWIS tool to activate / deactivate based on a code from the factory. I don't recall there being any mechanical or control unit changes required.

Plenum - I just posted in the 997 section ... I am trying to set up an account on the PIWIS TSI site and I can't get the boxes where you enter your basic info to load. All I get is a blank screen. I've tried 5 computer/iphone/ipad, 3 browsers, two IP addresses and nothing. Any thoughts?
