platinum997

It is surely different by year for some reason. There are only a couple of configurations to try though so just keep playing with it.

Focus on one door first. Once you figure it out the other door is always the same config.

Some minor updates with the manual, see post #1 for the link.

After I installed a Dension unit in my 997.1 , I took my car to the dealer to have them turn on the CDC. They have done that and my Dension with all of the functions works well except that I get an error every time I turn my car on that says "System error: CD changer not available" If I hit the Enter button it goes away but I was wondering if there is something that I can change with my Durametric Pro that will fix this?

I really dont know - I haven't played with any of this at all. The Dension emulates the CDC so maybe the denison isn't powering up fast enough?

I've tried every combination of enabling/disabling devices to remove the error, but I couldn't get it to disappear permanently. I gave up, and just dismiss the error every time I start the car.

Regarding "System error: CD changer not available" -- I used to get that on my Cayenne when the battery was low. I got similar weirdness when I moved the Dension to the 997. Ultimately I replaced the Dension with a LA Power / Mr 12V knockoff and all is well. The Dension was much more finnicky than the cheaper one.

If you're getting "System error: Phone" or similar error message, you likely need to get the factory phone module coding removed from your PCM. Unfortunately, only the dealer can do that.

I have it powered by the 12V lighter receptacle that constant 12V live.

Thanks for starting the coding manual, I found it helpful.

Has anyone else spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the fault codes that durametric were and if they were related to the symptoms you were/are having? Maybe others will find it helpful to share what faults we had and what worked to resolve them (or what didnt work)? Here are mine so far:

Resolved Faults

Car: 2006 C4S Cab M/T
Module: Vehicle Electrical System
Fault: 8042: Washing system pump
Symptom(s): Windshield washing fluid not spraying
Fix: Replacing windshield washer motor (997 628 182 00)

I have a 2007 TT and I have had enthusiast and 2 different pro cables. Whether my car is "automatically detected" is hit or miss. Most times it is not and when I check the box for my engine and hit next it tells me it won't communicate with the module. It only actually is usable 1 out of 20 attempts. Anyone had this?

Auto detect used to work, now doesn't and had not for a few years now. Beyond that, it always works fine.

So that means you check the box on eng and then next and it communicates to your control modules?

Do you turn key all the way right and use the hazards as they suggest or no hazards?

Or do you run the motor?

I am assuming you don't have to attempt many times before you get communication.

My car does have a GIAC tune for AWE tuning. Wonder if that has anything to do with it?

FWIW, the auto-detect hasn’t worked for my 996 or 955 since three revisions, or so, ago. I miss when the VINs would just populate.

Bruce In Philly

I do turn on the hazards.but not right away... I usually think of it later. Engine on or off...I do both depending... doesn't matter. I never had a communications issue. It just works.

If mine does not "auto detect" then I know I'm SOL and have to start all over.

ThunderRolls

I have to choose "997" in the pop up box when I first start it up and then it shows a second popup box which lists engines and it already has Turbo selected. Next to that it says (auto-detected)

It does this every time, and I don't have any issues running the program. Not sure if you guys are talking about the same thing or not.
