Such a thing doesn't exist. They don't need to discount.

I think they did a 10% off special for Black Friday in 2020.

I had no idea TPC has programs available! I ordered directly from DSC but have only seen their updates (last one is December 2020)

The DSC controller has been out on the field for a while. Has there been any damper issues after many thousands of miles in areas with bad surfaces? The reason for the question is that the controller activates the damper valves with a higher frequency than stock, thus there's potential for faster wear (or perhaps not).

Does a DSC from a .1 work in a .2? I have a chance to get one from a friend but it is coming out of a .1. TIA.

They are in stock now so I just bought one. Looking forward to trying it out.

Yes, but the .1 requires an accelerometer which is not required in the .2 cars. So, either your friend or you will have a surplus accelerometer which will be easy to sell here.

I was told by DSC that I had to buy a new one when I accidentally bought a .1 unit for my .2 car

For an extra $100 you can also add launch control as part of the DSC controller upgrade. though I passed on it. DSC recently shipped me a 2nd unit by mistake and being the nice guy that I am I contacted them and offered to return it. Costly shipping error if sent to someone with less integrity. I recently installed the DSC unit and really haven't driven enough miles to discuss before/after driving comfort.

From what I've read the only difference is the accelerometer.

did you try the .1 dsc in your .2?

Thanks everyone for the feedback here. I just ordered. Will update the thread w/my thoughts after I put some miles on it!

I usually mod all of my cars. I've had the 997 for >10 years and this is the first mod (except for a bluetooth dongle). So good straight out of the factory.

According to Tom at TPC/DSC, a .1 non-turbo controller is not forward compatible with non-turbo .2 cars. Here is his clarification:

• 997.2 and all year 997 Turbo takes DSC controller part # 02-997-06-v1-02.
• 997.1 non-turbo takes DSC controller part # 02-997-06-v1-01. And requires 3-axis accelerometer.

I had offered to allow a friend with a 997.1 a test drive with my 997.2 DSC module once we installed the 3 axis accelerometer. But now I'm not sure that was a good idea. Any thoughts or knowledge on backwards compatability from a .2 to a .1? Can we do this test drive?
