So if one were to have a Sheet from the factory (buddy on the inside) that shows the exact codes that was flashed to the Car, and that 8G4 code turned out to be the FULL working Matrix functionality and that the website is simply wrong ( as we all know it has been many of times ) What say you then ?
Actually it looks nothing like that.
I think some are confusing automatic high beam and matrix function. In the video above the high beams are enabled and shining everywhere but on the car in front.

Coding to 8G4 alone didn’t do the trick, At least not on a US spec car. Took me multiple tries to get it right. Coding to 8G4 did change the dancing of the lights but DID NOT enable full matrix.

Also Can anyone explain what having 8G4 flashed to the car means if not full functionality. Given the Coding threads have proven them working with Video when swapping to 8G4 (with appropriate headlights)

Question why does the Base Taycan not have said warning on the Canadian side for the Matrix lights......... kinda proves my point that the configurator is simply Wrong as it has been oh soo many times.

Yes you will need a PIWIS but not just any PIWIS - one that is not communicating with the Porsche servers. Using this modified PIWIS the Matrix can be encoded to function. Creating this PIWIS is not that expensive

Curious Can you explain exactly what "Canadian type version of Matrix" entails ?
Per the Canadian manual it appears to say its fully functional " individual LED segments of the high beam headlights are activated or deactivated"
Waiting on PPF or i would have some video to post up as well.

A legit licensed PIWIS is always connected to the Internet, (A) to continuously phone home to Germany that your license is valid and (B) to check if any parameters you are trying to enter shouldn't be allowed.
E.g., are you trying to code a car with a US VIN, with European matrix-light functionality? In this case, the legit PIWIS will be commanded, to not to allow the change after checking in with the PAG master server.
That's why this hack involves creating a PIWIS clone on a standalone laptop. The PIWIS clone, unlike the legit PIWIS, has the "phone home" functions disabled so that you can make these kinds of changes without being blocked by the master server.
