Did not know about this product. Like the one touch operation features. Was it easy to install? Sure is less expensive than purchasing 2 Euro keyfobs and then getting them programmed to the 992.

I seem to remember someone on here was trying to coordinate a group together so 9xx could come out to the SF Bay Area and enable multiple activations/customers in one shot. Did this ever happen?

Anthony from 9xx.com activated the Matrix LEDs. He also as an aside activated the remote opening of the windows through the Key FOB. He told me that the remote-control operation for the convertible top was also activated but needed the German Key FOB to control the top. I don't know anything about one touch operation of the top. My controls in the car did not change.
It appears that European keys are not needed. However, your key will need to be modified to enable the fourth button. A user named Yobiwan was able to modify this and get it working but he does not remember the coding he used. When others tried to use the same coding to enable the top to go up and down with the key fob on a Boxster, they received errors trying to change two of the codes on their 991 and 992. There must be additional coding needed to enable the fourth button. Here is a link to a post that describes the changes yobiwan made to his key:

Note that I just posted my experience using an Autel system to program a 992 here.

This is one of many threads dealing with the PIWIS3, so if you have been unable to find a suitable one with the search functions, then fire away. I assume it relates to the topic of coding a 992? Not trying to sound like a jerk, just trying to keep things on point here, as this thread already has many tangents.

Ok, Question, I went into DME, Boost Control, VTG, did an adaptation, it was successful.
The car seems to lose the adaptation, not sure why, should it save it automatically and that is it? I did the above sequence into piwis, then went over to coding and hit automatic coding, it did some stuff and lights flashed and came back on. My thought was to save the adaptation to the VTG? I am not sure what I did to be honest.. Does anyone know what that would have done?
Also, back to my original statement about VTG adaptation, is there a way to save it OR when it says successful, that's it, its saved?
3rd question, where can I see the maintenance log of the car that has been saved? I did an oil change and successful reset the maintenance plus added it to the computer, but I would like to see where this stuff is all saved? Oil changes, etc.
Cheers!

When you perform the sequence, and it passes, it is saved. You would get an error message otherwise.
As for the maintenance log, I am not 100% sure, but it may come up when you run a VAL, then look at the report itself. Maybe someone else can chime in on this question? I would also do a search for this specific question if you have not already.
Good luck!

@Porschetuner2005 - Yes, I have upgraded PTME 1100 Turbos, so I did the relearn to help solve this VTG error. I am beginning to think there is a physical issue with the turbo itself and the VTG... These are stock bodies with upgraded internals.

Ahh, makes sense now. If you are still getting error during the calibration process, you may have to adjust the stop position for the arm on the turbo housing. its a jam nut setup. If you still have your stock turbos, just measure how much of the threaded rod extends past the jam nut. I can post a picture later if you need, but it should be pretty obvious if you are tackling this level of work.
What is weird, is that sometimes it shows the VTG in the correct position (1-98% give or take slightly) and its within tolerance. Other times it starts to swing -8% to 88%, which trips the fault.
It always successfully does the adaptation, but some how it comes out of the normal range and trips the fault. ONLY the bank2.... Bank1 stays within 1-98% give or take very slightly.
Here are some pics with info, first pic both banks in spec, 2nd pic bank2 out of spec, notice the -6% position with mV below threshold of 550. 3rd pic is the info from when it trips the fault.

From what I gather service history is only available via PPN and is stored in the car though I still think it must also be downloaded by PIWIS though not necessarily viewable through it. As to where???
I further surmise that it's major stuff that is kept (like swapping out components) while small stuff like oil changes are kept viewable via PCM. But who knows...
The whole PIWIS system is a nightmare...
