I will be speaking to a shop soon, but wanted to get some real world experience on here, to see what those independent shops/dealers may say
Any update on your duckbill?

If you figure it out let us know!
I had a fixed wing put on my previous 4S. They have to disengage the spoiler motor and you really should have the sunroof if you have reprogrammed as it operates different with a fixed wing.
Do you have to? It’s just the process that is recommended.

If that is the software the dealer uses, then yes.

Only way to disable is with a PIWIS III from the dealer or someone local that will let you use it. You can only code it out so if you need to do any work to the lower bumper area then you would have to code it back in and then out again.

i will take it to the dealer but i would like to give them some ideas, i think i did not understand well, you mean they have to code the tail to be deployed but in reality it will be in and not deployed ? Thanks!

They will code off the active function as if you have a fixed spoiler.

I installed the Future Design fixed duckbill on my 23 Carrera T. The dealership said they will no longer code out spoilers. A local tuner said that the car is too new for him to update and Porsche hasn’t released the updates he needs yet.
I thought about pulling the fuse but it’s in the rear fuse box which is not easily accessible.
Anyone having luck getting this done on their 23 or newer 992?

They are lying to you. They just don’t want to do it. Coding through a Porsche dealership costs $250-$540 depending on which dealership you use. I called 3 last week and that was the range.

Or get a PIWIS setup from @rnlst_log and you'll be able to customize a bunch of features...

What parameters were used in PIWIS to accomplish this?
