Here you go-
Average time is 10 minutes or less. No tools required.
1. Remove key from ignition switch.
2. Make your way to the Right Hand side of the car.
3. Locate the stock PASM module. It is located above and slightly forward of the carpeted trim panel nearest to the passenger right foot. There's no need to removed the trim panel. Just reach your hand above the trim panel then slight forward and you'll feel the flat surface of the PASM module.
4. Once you have your fingers on the flat surface of the PASM module, follow downward and you'll feel the plastic locking tab.
5. Push down one the locking tab and the PASM module will fall out of the retaining bracket.
6. Once the module is visible carefully unplug the electrical connector from the PASM module and transfer the connector to the DSC module. Make sure the connector is plugged all the way and is secured.
7. To install the DSC module onto the retaining bracket simply line up the upper tab and the bottom will snap into the locking tab.

Just a little FYI. The RHD cars are different to the LHD cars. The PASM control unit is on the left side (passenger side) on a RHD car, UK, New Zealand (Me), AUS, etc. Same procedure, just the opposite side.... just like everything else driving related!!

awesome product guys! I really like the fact that now the presence of the DSC is not detectable (by dealers) unless they pull the module itself!
Personally I think that 2 modes are fine, especially with the ability to reload maps via USB from a PC or Mac ...
I wonder when Porsche will buy you guys, or license your technology!

Yes and no. If I hook up the factory PIWIS tester to a car with a DSC control unit installed, it will "grey" out the PASM control unit when doing a full scan of all the ECUs. Meaning, it thinks it is not installed. There are no faults in any other control units, which is a very good thing!! But if a dealer tech wanted to investigate a problem with the PASM or check something out, he would not be able to interrogate / communicate with the control unit. At times we are required to submit what is known as a Vehicle Analysis Log (VAL). Some VALs must be Fault free! Warranty claims can be denied if a VAL is not submitted or has faults. So I applaud the software engineers with DSC and TPC on making sure that there are no communication faults logged or it would be a big mess!
Looking forward to being a part of the continued success of this product line and working at a Porsche dealership has some added perks too!

I was all excited about it arriving and trying it out but the council has just salted the roads last night so the car is confined to the garage for a bit longer :-(
Hopefully the weather will brighten up soon!

Edit: The functions of the software in both versions are the same to the user. *But the maps aren't interchangeable between the versions*.

So the benefit of the v.2 DSC is that it integrates like the OEM PASM dash and buttom indicator light?
I'm curious why this change came about. Did people complain about not having a dash indication or did they complain about the blinking LED on the button?
I will say that on the 3 mode version, it doesn't always cycle through all 3 modes correctly. I've been in mode 2 numerous times and hit the button once and ended up in mode 1 (which is what I wanted anyway but it wasn't expected). Maybe I should keep the telepathic V.1 DSC that knows which mode I want.

So if understand you correctly, when using the new 2 mode firmware, In mode 1 "normal displayed on cluster", yellow background in the tuning software, these tables and calibrations will be applied? When I select "sport" mode, mode 2, red background in the tuning software, these tables and calibrations will be applied? So mode 3, "Track", blue background in the tuning software, these tables and calibrations are not used until they are written to either mode 1 or 2? That is good to know, as I was a little confused with how the "dynamic range" was expanded. I was under the impression it was using the mode 1 and 1/2 of mode 2 in "normal" and the other 1/2 of mode 2 and mode 3 in "sport".
So the tables and calibrations in mode 3 are something to try out on their own? The new G-Table that softens both inside corners is something I would like to try out. The shock cals looks interesting too.
Looking forward to seeing the new website and hopefully getting more good information.
