Install was pretty easy. I pulled up on some wood to give me another inch in the rear to get under as far as I could. Did the job. Amazing how heavy that rear diffuser is. Left the wing on as you don’t need to remove it. Just popping some plastic off, unscrew some screws and be careful. Fitting the module I had to try a couple times by tweaking it bc when you go to put the fan back in , the fan hits the module and won’t seat properly in the holes. The HomeLink connects with the remote but I feel it does not work. Not a big deal. Takes 2 seconds with remote. Anyone has any questions hit me up. Took me about an hour all said and done.

Anyone else have issues with the buttons not working?? As of today it doesn't light up at all when the button is pressed. I only used it for 500 miles or so and 2 months or less.. Hopefully it's just a dead battery.

Just bought mine today from @SupremePower . Competitive pricing, excellent service, same day shipping. I have previously purchased a Cargraphic VC from them for my Boxster25, so I chose to do business with them again.

Instruction shows a different location to install the module, next to the engine control unit.

FYI: Flat 6 makes a small connecting tab that they sell for $17.95 that will hold the module in place.
No need to cut, drill, or hope that double-sided tape can withstand engine bay heat.
Attaches to the 10mm factory bolt on the oil fill neck.

the controller they sent me did not have screw holes on the side so I wasn’t able to use this piece. Ended up finding a mounting plate I had lying around and used dbl sided tape on the controller. Zip ties for extra security.

Hey Guys, I ordered the non-invasive mount from Flat 6 but as luck would have it, I lost the small mounting nut in the engine bay.

So I headed down to my local hardware store and sourced a nut, lock nut, and some 1/4" washers. I took a hard plastic puddy knife and used that as my mount for the Controller.
Worked really well. Only problem is that my remotes werent syncing right away and my engine threw a CEL. In any event, I put my car back up in the air again today and re-checked all of my connections and low and behold the remotes were syncing and opening and closing the valves. I stripped one of the Torx 27 screws that mounts the undertray so I'm gonna wait till next week to reinstall it with Loctite after fresh screws arrive at the dealer. - - - Took my time and used a lot of zip-ties routing the controller cables up on top and stainless steel ties down below.

As luck would have it, the lock nut from the Flat 6 mount fell out of my engine bay onto my diffuser just as I was reinstalling it yesterday. Typical.

At least it didnt fall down into the alternator.

Initially got a CEL, but it disappeared in short order.

Big shout out to @Jbravo23 and @Scottykenneth for all of their support and helpful tips!

The Vivid link is for GT3 application, which is cheaper. The flat6 link is for all turbocharged 992 models.


that being said, flat6 is charging about $100 more than supreme for the turbocharged 992 models.
