I did turn off the car and start it back up, light is still there. I'll try it a few more days as I take the car out and see if it helps.

probably need to make sure your connections are snug. Even if you think they are, disconnect and reconnect them. If no joy, Cargraphic. customer service is very good. Some units were shipped with some loose connections in the controller and if that is the issue they can walk you thrrough the easy fix.

No drone at constant speed on the highway? It's the only time I wanted to close them on my GT4.

I'm trying out the SST valve controller for the imcoming car. It's about half the price and made in Germany as well.

Interesting... Much less expensive and looks the same. Please let us know how it goes.

Do the other Exhaust Valve Controllers have the "Freestyle Mode" as listed below from SST?

I close them when I don’t want to wake the grandkids. Initial start up until cats warm up is epic! 🎵🤣

  • Took it for 3 drive cycles
    • No pending P04A1 code anymore
    • Everything seems fine

I hate to be that guy, but what would you suggest I do for next steps @SupremePower?
I'm in the same boat as you. 3 weeks after install I removed my unit as well. Kept getting a lot of errors and intermittent CELs. Yesterday, CEL stayed on permanently so that was the final straw.

During removal everything was secure. Wires weren't melted and the unit was still secure on the alternator cover. Maybe the zipties to secure excess wires were a bit too tight? Either way, after removal I opened up the cargraphic controller and nothing was loose or needed to be "clicked" in. Went for a short drive and CEL went away which was a relief.

My unit is version B so not sure if it's defective or not. It possibly can't handle heat during crazy summer temps or electrical interference being on top of the alternator. I locked the car and kept the key in a faraday box like most suggested during install which I didn't do initially.

I'll give the unit another try next summer and will purchase the flat6motorsports mount as well. I'll lock the car, store the key away, secure the wires but give enough slack so the connectors aren't in constant tension. Either way, not gonna bother reinstalling it again this summer... Not worth the frequent electronic gremlins, oh well...

If you bought new, what is the warranty period?

I haven’t installed mine yet as it was a pre-purchase waiting on my car. I am curious as well if there is any type of warranty @SupremePower . Does Cargraphic back the product?

Didn't buy new unfortunately. Doubt the fellow Rennlister I purchased it from was being slick. Could happen to a brand new unit as well.

I have a '24 992. Doubt the ECU is any different than any other model year. Will chalk it up to "installer error"/finicky install. We'll see next driving season!

Based on SST's website their controller only fits the GT and S/T models?
