Can the steering be reprogrammed to the quicker ratio of a GT3 car? I have a 2020 C2S. Just got a chance to drive a GT3 touring and feel in love with the steering feel. I get that theres more to it but could we get a faster ratio fell to the stick steering setup just by reprogramming?
Thx
On cars with rack and pinion changing hardware is you only way to change your ratio. (To date in the world of mass produced cars Cybertruck is the only car homologated with steer by wire, where steering ratio can change by software.)
Superdirekt in coding is a setting that should be enabled for cars that have short ratio steering hardware to compensate for the heavier steering.
The effect on a non short ratio hardware car is just more assist as mentioned below.
how do i increase speed limit in which servo park assist is active? Right now its 5KMH after that steering wheel becomes harder, how do i make assist being lighter up to 20KMH for example? Thanks
Hi - new 992 owner here (2022 Carrera Base). Has anyone been able to enable Sport + or Individual driving modes via PIWIS? I'd purchase the programmer if I knew I could do this.
Jumping in here, not a lot of info out there for non sport chrono owners.
I was able to get a shop familiar with coding / PIWIS to successfully activate some of the sport chrono functions (lap timer on dash, mode menu on dash, etc.).
However the actual drive modes (Sport + and Individual) do indeed require an access code purchased from Porsche for ~$2000 USD. I believe once you have everything else in place and enter this code you will unlock the sport chrono drive modes. Currently they are just gray-ed out on the menu.
Worth mentioning I was able to get M-Engineering to successfully add launch control to normal and sport modes (4.5k rpm instead of 5k rpm tho) via their PCM flashing service. I imagine once I have Sport+ available I will have the 5k launch control available.
Also if you install a steering wheel with the mode selector dial, that will work plug and play as far as changing your modes (wet, normal, sport only ofc). But you will not see the mode menu unless you get that coded.
Will post an update once we get the access code and go from there.
I am also a non sport chromo owner - did not realize I could add the functions with an access code. What kind of access code is that? I already have the M-Engineering tune - would I need the access code and add the function (sport chrono?) to then be able to add launch control via M-Engineering, or can I ask M-Engineering to add that function now? How does launch control work for you without the sport chrono (ie. how is it invoked)?\
Many thanks!

It's an activation code tied to your specific VIN.
Launch control can only be added if you do their PDK flash (separate service from their engine tune, involves mailing them your PDK module). It works like normal launch control on sport chrono cars just it holds rpms at 4.5k (more than enough imo).
You can get the PDK flash and have launch control with just that, no coding required. This is where I am so far. But as mentioned above I want the other drive modes gatekept behind Sport Chrono (Sport+ and Individual) and for those you have to get the code.
If you're interested in getting the sport chrono retrofit done (obviously more expensive) then no need to do the PDK flash just to get launch control in normal and sport mode.
TL;DR:
For non sport chrono owners if you;
a) want launch control and don't care about the other drive modes (sport+ and individual) = Get the M-Engineering PDK tune and request they add launch control functionality while they have it
b) want sport+ and individual drive modes = you will need the sport chrono activation code for your vehicle ($2k) + a steering wheel mode dial &/or new steering wheel. Will confirm if anything else is needed once I finish mine.

I have been trying to figure out how to activate sport plus on my 718 and have also come to the conclusion that I need an activation code to be able to switch to sport plus. I was able to locate someone who could provide me with an activation code but the code did not work when I tried to enter it into the air conditioning module which is where it must be entered to activate sport plus. On older models the same activation code was used in both the PCM and the air conditioning module. However, it appears that the activation codes are now different. I already had the sport chrono timers in the PCM and the MFD working so I did not try to enter the activation code in the PCM module. I don't really think activating sport plus is worth $2k (at least not until I have used it for some time) especially since I believe I can switch the car into sport plus mode using my x431. Have you found anyone who will sell just the activation code for the air conditioning module?
I have the same PIWIS clone (PIWIS 3 41.500/38.250 in E mode) and I'm encountering the same problem with my 2021 Cayenne S when running in 38.250.
When running 41.500 after going to F7 I only have the Vehicle data maintenance with PIWIS-ONLINE option, not the Maintenance of vehicle data option.
A few people have suggested clearing any existing codes first, then trying again, which is my next step.
Has anyone else encountered this problem with the PIWIS 3 41.500/38.250 clone in E mode?

I went ahead and cleared most faults that were present, then tried again. This time around 41.500 worked perfectly, including the Maintenance of vehicle data option being present.
38.250 (at least the version I have) doesn't work for coding my 2021 Cayenne S, yet it works perfectly fine for my 987.2.

In a nutshell, this is how you do it....Make sure your are in E mode on your tester:
- Once booted, go to the bottom of the screen to Additional Menu (F7)
- You should see this screen:
- Select the highlighted option and continue....
- Keep hitting F12 to scroll through the first couple screens till your get to PR options. If sorted alphabetically, you care looking for the option "CW Wert Verkleidung" and the option selected should be something like 2D1 or 2D9.
- You want to change your 2D9 option to "VM3 - Aerokit"
- Once that is done, keep hitting F12 to move through the screens till you get to this one:
- This is the final confirmation of what you want to change. Hit Save at the bottom or F8, then it'll be F12 to exit once that is finished.
- Lastly, go back to main menu showing all your modules
- Ctrl + A selects all modules, then go to Coding/ Programming
- Select Auto code, then F12 to start
Once that is all complete you should be able to clear any faults and be good to go!
Keep us posted!
Is this the same process for changing the active aero on a C2S to an Aerokit fixed wing (OEM). And will this take care of the spoiler errors and the 3rd brake light error too, or just the spoiler. Hoping both as the 3rd brake light will not be an issue with the Aerokit now coded.
