Guys here on the forum help each other. Some offered to have someone come by and they'd implement codes to those cars. Free. The UK...smn

As you state 'some' have offered this for free. I stated it wasn't for money and at what I was asking not at all worth my time, but saves being messed around also such as people making appointments
and not turning up. I also stated I would stop when i have paid for the device (£500 from me) to let others and spread this around other cities.

I was homeless at 15 and have no family. Every Xmas and New years my wife and I fill up a car with food and other supplies and give them out to homeless people, put some in B & B's
and do what we can. We try to spend Xmas day and New Years with homeless people and have done this for a number of years in 2 Cities here. We go away quite often and the first thing we do is take some money
and feed or give some away to homeless people before we start to enjoy our holiday, then there is no excuse that we have spent too much and cant do this at the end of our trip. I know what I have done for others.

Not sure I'd be too keen to offer this service for free and give people I don't know my home address, knowing I own a couple of Porsches. I think the small fee stops a lot of messing around
for me and helps me pay for the device which is a fair amount. If i could find one for £500 i'd buy it. But even I doubt I could get that many people to pay for the device and it would take a long time.
Also if you afford to drive a Porsche, Merc or BMW what is even £50 to use it? I'd pay £100. Just ideas i'm putting together.

I didn't think it was as bad as you have made out. Others do a lot worse, everyday.

Not to get to far off subject here but there is absolutely nothing wrong with Tigercay's suggestion, in my opinion. As someone who has spent thousands of dollars on special tools myself, why would I make that kind of investment and then invite just anyone over to my house to use them for free or loan them for free? For certain people on the fourmn i absolutely would do that but not as just some public offering just because you took the effort to sign up to a website and don't want to spend the money yourself.

I'm inclined to agree.

Thank you so much, I was quite hurt by the last three letters (which I had to look up) and last 3 words. I'll stop before I go on and on. People who really have money would not entertain random people at their house, I doubt they want me at their house and I try to be as polite as possible
and due to my past I don't take things for free, I find it hard and have to give something anyway and never give rubbish. Even giving chocolates to hotel staff and more. I got 3 days free parking in a london hotel, saving me £45 as I gave some chocolates and other items to the ladies.
Without informing me they set my car for free parking. I was staying at the hotel across the road who had closed their carpark for renovation! Registered mine at the hotel and gave my details and phone number in case of an issue. Spent some time talking and they set my car on free parking,
though it was third partied to another company.

It is very time consuming to code a car depending on which settings you want. I can't believe my Kim K Cayenne does not allow me to change some of these features, only by this method. I will check but the mirrors should fold automatically upon locking the car at the very least.
Parking this beast is bad enough in the U.K as the national car park space is perfectly designed for a Ford Focus and in Europe a Fiat 500. The white lines for car spaces here are basically like a forensic outline of the vehicle. I'm literally sitting on them as an outline of the car!
Also there can be a lot of jealousy out there, some people not wanting to let you out while others are kind. The mirrors sticking out could be that trigger to make someone take off the mirrors and this does happen here. There are many complaints in London about supercars
coming from the middle east for example. Making noise etc around Harrods / Kensington areas. While I understand, this should not lead to violence, aggression or damage to someones property. I also feel shocked at the reaction of some residents, who behave like military
action should take place! You wanna come to our local McD's late at night and supermarket car park and see the intimidating riff raff leaving drug paraphernalia around. I would happily approach someone in a supercar for help or to tone it down and I know being polite will
usually get such a response. I'd rather have a problem with a supercar owner than some of these others who have this 'nothing to lose / live for' attitude. I am not rich but have always found most people with money very very kind and reasonable.

In the same respect these are very very expensive areas and 1 bed flats are well over £1 mill. A single car park space in the area will set you back £500,000.
Which wouldn't be the case if these supercars weren't lingering around, sorry if you don't agree, I know it can be annoying and people revving for no reason should be stopped, but I know if everyone in my street owned a merc or Porsche then the value of my house would
rise significantly, the sale would be easier and I could move even if not the ideal solution. These are all 1st world problems.
To pay to activate this and other features seems like a sick joke at my expense, or at least very cheeky. My 07 merc does this but my 16 Cayenne, nope. Also I am in I.T and software so it's expensive for essentially software. I can think of too many things I can spend £1500 on.

I will ask my guys here what system they use or if they know the cheapest one. Report back here, try to find someone who has this for their advice and see if this is a viable option or not. I also feel these settings are personal and owners may feel to change them from time to time
which is why I thought a few more people owning one like me could make changes as and when.

I used the 'print' feature from my Chrome and saved as a pdf. Both ways Landscape and Portrait. Both saved badly so I'm doing something wrong. I wanted to print off the entire thread to go over and mark the sections / features I want to change.
Any advice on doing this, is there a better way that it comes out so nothing is overlapping? I would like to make numerous changes and want to learn most of what can be done so I know.

Maaaaaaaaannnn.......

You guys are waaaaay to sensitive. Deviated completely from a good topic. My reply was like 1 sentence and more a joke at that. Replies were novels.

In my Cayenne I have the air suspension set to 1 level down. When I start the car this is how it is set, as I have only had the car for a day I have just not moved it except testing prior to purchase. At 1 level down the vehicle sets off in 1st gear.

I was wondering whether coding can change this, for the car to set off in 2nd gear at ride height -1 or if this cannot be changed?
Also, can I deactivate the engine start stop feature without having to press the button to deactivate it each time I start the car? (probably been asked this a million times!)

Hello. Like this thread. Has anyone tried this with Durametric Pro? I have an Enthusiast version I can upgrade to Pro for about half of the cost of the X431.

Also, anyone figured out how to get the automatic high beans to engage below 40mph?

Thanks.

sterod

The Durametric Pro does not have the ability to do the brush/modify hidden coding. Its coding abilities are quite limited, eg: battery coding, seat belt chimes, etc.

My ctt's speedometer speed does not match the GPS speed. At 84 mph speedometer indication is actually 80 mph GPS indication. I poked around in the instrument cluster module and think I can fix it. There are a few codes that can be changed. But I'm a little nervous about changing them. Has anyone been able to correct their speedometer yet? Before I spend a bunch of time researching?

marinerbc

wish to have the time to poke around fr that, if you do please post the steps.

Willing to help out anyone interested in coding , Travel not so often to Vancouver , Comox valley and Victoria BC

Guys, on the launch 431 v+ I'm looking for these 2 pieces of info for my 11 CTT:
. engine oil level reading
. Auto transmission fluid temperature reading

I've been reading thru the thread & poking about the Launch, but have not stumbled across them yet.

Thanks
David

Did a search for " Start" and " Stop" , in the suspected modules and changed all settings. except two fields the change was not accepted.
now the message in blue saying Start/Stop disabled appears 90% of the time so far.
when it dies that the button in the center console become disabled .

twodollardoug

You can turn off the warning.

marinerbc

Thought about that, but could not find the related settings , then thought of i needed it to appear for now until i have the time to study the pattern of the Start/Stop deactivation.
so far for sure it does work most of the time.
