I just found this thread, very timely. I've been on the 718 forum for coding features of my GTS 4.0, and wanted to do the same for my Cayenne, so thanks very much for all the help this will give me. I bought a Launch x431, model 919x, from Amazon. List price was $372, but after signing up for a credit card I got $200 off and total cost was about $190 with tax. This little jewel does all the coding the more expensive ones does, so far at least. I've been able to change the number of blinks for Lane change, eliminate the seat belt warning, input actual values for water temp and a few other things. Now I should be able to do the same on my Cayenne.

I found the $372 one on amazon. Did you have any issues with it being region-specific? Some reviews said it was a european model and they had issues using it in the US (granted, maybe just on USA domestic vehicles).

I've had no problems with it.

Thanks for the update, I am going to give it a try

Hi guys,

I really really really need your help.
I have 958 with ACC and because of my poor choice of choosing a cheap mechanic to change the condenser, they did something to the Adaptive Cruise Control and it stops working intermittently while i was driving and i drive long distances every day.
I have seen multiple mechanics and they keep asking for an unbelievable amount of money to fix it or even worse replace the unit which costs about 30% of the car price.
So my ask, I want to know how I could program the car to have just a normal cruise control, I don't need ACC.
I have recently found this thread of someone retrofitting ACC (Here)and he mentioned the modules he had to code so I am guessing reversing the process should do it.
I would sincerely appreciate a response.. please

so can this tool test and calibrate the hvac flaps? - our is an actual porsche pwis needed? - i think i have some issues with the flaps not opening and closing as directed - below is a link to my thread describing what's going on - it's that time of year again when i don't want either a/c or heat but i'm getting heat anyway - asked dealer about looking at it and he said that it would probably be a time consuming task....so $$$$$$ - thanks

Mine has been doing the same thing for about 6 months. After a bunch of troubleshooting I've isolated the issue to the bundle of wires underneath the driver side floor. Moving them around (where they come up through the carpeting underneath the dash) eventually clears the problem, though it comes back after a week or two. I'm suspecting a bad splice. I have a thread started here & will post updates as soon as I have any!

Sounds like corrosion. Might have had water on the floor board at some point.

When I changed the battery I removed most of the carpeting & didn't find any signs of water. But I only looked at the exposed wires - I didn't remove the factory tape holding the bundle together. I'm kicking myself for not doing that!

Any idea what I put in?

has anyone found any of these scan/coding tools that can test/calibrate the HVAC system? - cold here in denver - last night no heat to driver's feet - sometimes works - sometimes not - in summer i sometimes get heat when i have A/C on....?

@900RPM - I recently purchased a Launch CRP919e Elite off Amazon (link below) and it has the same coding capabilities as the x431 v+ or X431 Pros Mini.

@honerboys - I'm not sure if the CRP919e listed above will do everything you need but the documentation listed the following:
New Functions: 1) For Cayenne-9YA (asof2018) added the low-temperature circuit bleeding and A/C compressor running-in functions for the thermal management system and the valve servo motor setting / checking and A/C compressor setting functions for the A/C system. 2) For Panamera (971), added the low-temperature circuit bleeding and A/C compressor running-in functions for the thermal management system and the valve servo motor setting / checking and A/C compressor setting functions for the A/C system.3) For Taycan added cooling circuit emptying and filling cooling circuit bleeding and A/C compressor running-in functions for the thermal management system and the valve servo motor setting/checking function for the A/C system.
Additionally, when I emailed the seller they were very quick to respond.

@honerboys
It looks to me all 3 are the same tool and the same seller. It is also the one I bought.
