Coding 992
Which this, the concern with PIWIS 3 is that the 2022 model year - and the GTS is not listed here.
Go into BCM2 - selecting. F12
Highlight and select all options
Click on Programming Coding - Manual Coding without rules
Highlight all Selections again, F12 - Note that this is all I'm seeing.
And these are the only items that come up. When I do this on my 981, I see tons more in options...which I've also seen here in other folks screenshots.
I thought I took some screenshots of version 4 - but as stated, I can't see where to put version 4 into engineering mode. So when I go under configuration, everything is in English and there's no 'Manual Coding' option. Like it's in V mode.
1) Did your older version ever work? Where did you get this software?
2) I note your vehicle is not auto detected, which is where I would guess is the start of the problems
3) It looks like the slider under Choose Model Type can be slid down for more options?
4) My question again is why use PIWIS 4 on pre 2024 vehicles?
5) In your PIWIS 3, your ignition key is not seen or no data received (code 29000)
6 ) Should Produktionsmodus Deaktivirung be set to ein and Rollenmodus be set to aktiviert?
7) What dongle/sw version are you using?
To set the number of blinks once you select BCM2 this is what you should see and select:
I think the problem begins with your car not being auto detected and as I mentioned I don't know why you're using PIWIS 4 on cars that can be adequately be scanned with PIWIS 3. Next is where you got version 3 and 4 since you say you're getting the same error?

Edit; after trying the auto code it still didn't put the button back on the screen. =(

I've also updated the table, see below

2. find and buy the DAMOS file for your engine
3. Find switches for *** and change them with software like WinOLS
4. Write this file back to your ECU
5. Done.
If you can do the first step, then I can do steps 2-3 for you (PM)
Same way i tuned my exhaust flaps positions, slightly drop down cooling temperature, adjust a cold start.
00 17 00 8E 00 E0 05 0A 00 5E 01 00 00 80 07 80 03 00 01 00 00 20 0A
and change to:
00 17 00 8E 00 E0 05 0A 00 5E 01 00 00 80 07 80 03 00 01 00 00 00 00
and write back to car.
This changes A/S/S to activate below 0 RPM (default is 1296 RPM) so effectively deactivates.
You need library file and flasher, cheapest I found is DBF1 https://deadbeefflash.com/ to buy both.
I believe you can use any free HEX editor to make that change and DBF1 will recalculate CKsums automatically.
That would save you cost of DAMOS and Winols but still something like $600
Possibly your calibration won't have that exact HEX sequence, in that case If you send your library file to me, I'll search and compare to mine and I should be able to map it out and find/change it for you ... for free.

Guess my questions is - has anyone with a 2022-2024 GTS or 4GTS have success in getting PIWIS 3 to successfully code changes? Unless I'm completely missing the boat here (which again, I've coded my 981), I'm not sure why I can't get it to work. Maybe there was a setup I did few years back that I'm not recalling...
Old PIWIS III software I got from ODBII.com online - also have a Virtual Machine copy of PIWIS III - both do not work on the 992, but do work on my 981. New copy of PIWIS 4 (which also has a copy of PIWIS 3) I got from CarToolDeals.com
Main issue I see - the Russian PIWIS 4 tutorial online has a V and E mode under tools...
mine does not have that (it's listing as needing an update). I have a call out to the engineer on this...
One other thing I asked the engineer - getting an error on the VCI connect (though, I can connect and run diagnostics and reports)
Forget the engineer etc. @rnlst_log should have been on your speed dial
