Yes, precisely. And I have just done a 2023 Cayenne GTS Coupe last Thursday night in Atlanta. However, we cannot do this remotely due to the 14.2V and 100A (not 100A peak, but 100A sustained) equipment requirements, and this is true even if you have factory PIWIS and the authentic VCI. So far, all variations of Cayennes have been observed to pull up to 96A during the programming, and 992 up to 75A. I will come to you city by city. I have no data yet for Panamera and Taycans as of now. Please register so I won't miss you when I come to your town.

Will this affect the warranty? How much do you charge.

External battery charger should do it in regards to 100A sustained doesn’t it?

Well ... Porsche could allow the windows and sunroof to be opened with the fob if they wanted. They just can't allow the windows and sunroof to be closed with the fob. This was a standard feature on some Lexus models beginning in 1998 but at some point (2007?) it became an optional feature that had to be enabled with a scan tool. My guess is that the change was due to complaints from people who inadvertently opened their windows and sunroofs while their vehicles were parked outside. I distinctly remember renting a Honda Accord in Miami in 2007 and finding that I could roll its windows down with its fob.

When Anthony Wong offered to give me what he called "comfort access" during our conversation, I declined. Been there, done that, never again. .

Can you activate the Matrix lights on a 24 Cayenne Turbo GT?

I am changing the offer now and up the game another level. I am going to flip the table, and offer you, and anyone who desires, comfort inaccess...9XX could allow the windows and sunroof to be CLOSED with the fob if they wanted. They just can't allow the windows and sunroof to be OPENED with the fob. Now, are you or anyone interested? (Of course I will offer the regular comfort access as well for free with any 9XX Experience activity.)

Chances are 2024 models came activated already. If not, I will try with you. It is only logical that I cannot promise before I have at least seen the hardware and done a full module analysis for this model.
