My system was a complete one and auto boots PIWIS, so i might need to figure out how to drop to the base O/S and unzip the file

Ignore that post I have just figured it out :-)

I posted this on another PIWIS thread:


Here are some screen shots, after I did Vehicle Analysis Log and Vehicle Handover Log.
After disconnecting from the car, I opened piwis and entered simulation mode, by going to diagnostics and manually selecting my car:


Then, under control unit selection, overview, at the bottom you see Logs(F10)


Select Logs and choose either Vehicle Analysis Log or Vehicle Handover:


Then you'll see them,




After hitting display(F10) you can read the reports:


Screen shot only shows the overview of the VAL, you have to scroll through an extensive list. I erased VIN in Photoshop before posting-

Here's the Vehicle Handover:



There's also a path in Windows to see the LOGs but right on PIWIS itself it's nice to look at them-
Once you open your VAL, it's a long page and you can scroll and view everything.

Best,

John

Good show
I recommend clearing all codes and doing a VAL and Vehicle Handover
Anything else you find while surfing please post. There are few GT3 owners with Piwis. As far as I know, not a lot of coding options(passenger window auto Up is impossible)

As we discovered before, the control for the FAL all sits in the REAR control unit mate.. Just gave mine a road test and it’s perfect :-)

Thanks John, just spent the last half hour playing with it and cleared all the fault codes, did a VAL and then a handover…

Played around in all the other coding menu’s and too be honest not much can be added to my GT3.

Haven’t gone into engineering mode yet. Don’t think I’ll gain much from it at this stage as all my cars systems working perfectly

Got my PIWIS up and running.

I'm looking to disable my PCM as I want to delete it. My 997.2 GT3 has PCM 3.0 with the satellite radio and navi, thus I suspect if I remove the PCM I'll get some error codes on my dash. Has anyone coded this before?

Thanks!

I would post your question on this thread:
https://rennlist.com/forums/panamera...l#post19019520

I posted the PIWIS manual there-it's a multi-part pdf which can be downloaded.
As far as I know, before deleting the PCM, you should do a Piwis readout, so it can be reinstalled one day when you want to sell the car etc
