This did not work for me, I still get a warning at 60mph... is there another set of coding to do? Or maybe a PCM reset of some kind?

I've done several deletes - on the base, S, and GTS, it seems to work by changing to aerokit in maintenance of vehicle data. However, for my GT3, I also had to change the vehicle type in maintenance of vehicle data to Sport Classic - then autocode MASG, Kombi, BCM1 and BCM2. . .that fixed it on my GT3. After coding, I changed it back to "touring" and autocoded Kombi, BCM1 and BCM2 just in case there were other changes. It seems that there is a conflict in the configuration if you have Touring selected and Aerokit, and it doesn't code it out. Give that a try . .

Finally gave up and got it sorted at a dealer.


Eventually I'll go dig around in PIWIS and see what they coded.

So the dealer did it for you. Do you mind sharing what they charged? I saw a couple of people say the dealer did it comp and then others as expected were charged.

My local dealer said the same thing. I also tried a local independent shop but their computer did not work. Had to buy a PIWIS and code out myself.

My shop simply set the height for all positions to zero and then disabled the dash alarm that comes up when spoiler does not lift at 65mph. I may ask him to try to set the sport option with Aerokit -but what other items are changed when doing that? Just the spoiler and 3rd brake light or something else?

I believe when coding to Aerokit it tells the control unit that there is no spoiler lift. When I first drove my car after installing the ducktail I got alerts the spoiler was not functioning and the 3rd brake light was not working (it was not lighting up). When I followed the programming instructions the spoiler and 3rd brake light alerts stopped and the light worked again. Not sure what part of the programming reset the light. Cheers, Kevin

Well, I kept the OEM 3rd brake light and all works as it is now and no warnings. Just wonder if there is a "cleaner" way to do it vs what I described we did.

Did you ever go open PIWIS to see what the dealer coded? And were you saying Aerokit change and autocode all modules never worked?

Assuming you were referring to removing the wing option from the menu altogether…..


…..it’s in MIB. You can remove the grayed out section entirely by changing this menu item and auto coding the module. I believe I changed it in two places in MIB.

Change this to “deactivated”.
