A simpler solution would just be a money-back guarantee for unresolvable side effects, without the custom flooring Rube Goldberg stuff. Also in Vegas you probably want to look at EV (expected value) rather than just probability. 99.9% is a terrible success rate if the penalty is death, for example.
But good work on the Matrix LED fix and your other Porsche fixes. A good friend hacks Nissan ECUs (reflashes, etc) and I know it can be a lot of work.

Ok, here is my official statement:
9XX offers full Matrix LED Activation, and will have the following guarantees regarding side effects:
We will offer full money-back guarantee for unresolvable side effects.
We will offer 200% money-back guarantee for any side effects that are
and if Comfort Windows was activated as a "posotif" side effect without additional coding, you will get money back too because it was not done right. FYI, Comfort Windows rolls both up and down, not just up. I will have a video to show how it works on a 992 in 24 hours.
We already had it demonstrated on many many 911, Cayennes, Panameras, Caymans, Boxsters, and Macans over the years on my YouTube channel.
I hope this clarifies everything about what we offer. No tricks, no hidden conditions, nothing to hide.

I have received a lot of inquiries via PM. I appreciate your trust and support. We 9XX are a licensed business, and we are an official sponsor of Rennlist and we will never sneak behind Rennlist's back to run a rogue business. So there is no need to PM me. We like to be transparent and that's how we run 9XX Research and 9XX Experience. Everything can be asked here so that everyone who may have the same questions can see my answers for their convenience.
So here are the answers for some of your PMs:
First, the official cost is and will always be on 9xx.com and that will be the location where the cost will be updated if needed. All other prices listed are only good for reference. As of this minute, there are 3 $500 offers left. If you are interested, please register on 9xx.com and schedule a Teams meeting with me. Once we go over all the details and decided that we are good to move forward, we will then hold a slot for you on our schedule. When the schedule is confirmed you will pay the tuition and fees in full and at that time, one $500 offer will be deducted. The order in which you register will be used to determine who has priority for the $500 deal. Because it's a 9XX Experience activity, all 9XX Experience rules will apply. Please go to 9xx.com and learn more about 9XX Experience before we meet so that you can raise questions efficiently. All Registrations at 9xx.com without a valid Porsche VIN will be treated as spam and will be automatically deleted.
Second, we are an official Rennlist sponsor and we are not hiding our business. All PM or emails suggesting doing business on the side or behind the back of Rennlist are not fair to Rennlist and will be discarded.
Third, every car we work on has full documentation of what has been done, and upon request, we can upload it to PCSS (Porsche Central Service System) under your VIN. This PCSS record will have a 9XX Research stamp on it and is permanent on your Porsche vehicle records and is accessible by all legit Porsche dealerships and Service Centers. We do not use Band-aid solutions to patch or "translate". So rest assured that everything is done right.
Fourth, we are an official Porsche Partner and we follow strictly all Porsche guidelines and protocols. Because of that, we will not ask you to buy your own equipment. We will not do remote programming from a remote location because of many reasons. 1. We want you to have the peace of mind that we will be there to handle situations that may be out of the ordinary. 2. Porsche mandates the use of a quality power supply that outputs a stable 14.2V at 90A or above, and OEM PIWIS to ensure uninterrupted dataflow during a programming session. Using a clone or not having a stable power supply will have adverse effects on many components in your Porsche. These equipment are very cost-prohibitive and not exactly user-friendly. So we will bring our equipment with us to visit you. The only requirement is that you have a 110V 20A power source for us to connect our equipment. So far the total time is very consistently 5.5 to 6 hours for 992, starting from hook up and health check to establish a baseline, to programming, to test drive to final check and documentation. Our regular price reflects only 3.5 man hours because test drive time is deducted. We will have more time data for other models as we go and we may update the cost as needed.
And lastly, yes I took and edited all my videos by myself. I wrote my own website. However, those are off-topic let us keep Porsche-related discussions here.
At this time, I am open to any further questions. Any 9XX Matrix LED Experience alumni are welcome to share their experiences and thoughts here. Some alumni are Porsche employees and may have restrictions on what they can comment on, and I thank you all in advance for respecting that.

Just registered, I have 3 vehicles you could do for me. I understand I can only get 1 $500 offer and I’m hopeful I’m quick enough to have snagged one. If not full price is fine with me

Having just had my matrix reprogrammed I can only echo the OP's assertion that it's absolutely critical to have a stable power source hooked up to the battery during the programming. A battery tender is not sufficient and neither are most conventional battery chargers. That said I was able to have my matrix LED activated via PIWIS and now the have full functionality and they are impressive, enabling high beams while following a car or when facing traffic with the lights excluding these cars selectively.
I will just say that the standard LED's on my other 992 are amazingly powerful and even without the PDLS feature are amazing. The matrix even after reprogramming only add geeky features that really mostly benefit other drivers (very important) but don't really provide a significant step improvement in brightness or coverage over the base LEDs. So if you don't mind operating the high beams yourself then you're not missing much with base lights.

Mine wasn't done thru 9xx and although I'm sure he's a great guy and his stuff works and all if you say so...
my homelink worked once my car was programmed, I have the same comfort windows functionality (its part of the EU programming that allows your lights to work), it can all be programmed back to stock at any time, etc. Nothing new here other than the same thing that others seems to be doing... except the person that helped me said they would help reprogram if needed after a dealer visit for free and 9xx charges more money. I would probably charge more money too as it is more work but to each his own.
I'm glad more people will have access to getting their expensive lights working to full functionality.
Maybe at some point the dealer will even be able to program once they bring out the functionality in the new cars... thats what I'm hoping.

For people with the active matrix headlights who are considering this coding: it worked for me with my 2022 GT3.
A big shout-out to @rnlst_log who coded it remotely yesterday. I recommend talking to him. The car never left my garage. The process takes a couple hours and you need to get some hardware in advance. He also coded my windows so I can open and close them with my keychain.
Last night I took the car for a test drive on rural Maine roads, and the auto high beams rocked. It's most impressive when following another car on curvy roads. The high beams stay up, but a rectangle of darkness surrounds that car in front. It was a misty night last night, so I could see the beams in the air, highlighting how they turned off and on.
It works too for oncoming traffic, although it's harder to perceive because the headlights are in your eyes.
Anyway, great stuff. I'm glad now I paid for these lights.
As others have said I'll need to re-sync my garage doors, which I'll try today. (Edit: I did that just now and they synced fine. Homelink works great.)

For those who want to activate own Matrix yourself: below is the combinations code that work:
USA Matrix Code:8JU+8G4+AV2+B34+8K5 --CHANGE TO--EU MATRIX CODE:8JU+8G4+AV1+B01+8K8--Access to change this value is on Maintenance of vehicle data/F7
autocode these modules: BCM1,BCM2, KOMBI, ZFAS, AIRBAG, CONBOX, LED HEADLIGHT LEFT AND RIGHT, LCM_L/R
PCM.
The automatic coding turn HOMELINK frequency into EU, and Dashboard Languange to German, solution:
For homelink fix on BCM1 manual coding Without |Rule -- Garage-Door-opener-Coding-Values: Change back from 0x21000 to 0x25000 then Write.
To Change language and metric back to US English: in Vehicle Data-Change B01 back to B34, Then auto code: Kombi Instrument only. Done. Cycle ignition off, reconnect Piwis, Delete all errors code.
Final step: Revert the vehicle data back to their original value and save, but at this last step DO NOT autocode. i repeat DO NOT AUTOCODE.
