Does COBB have a standard tune for these mods? Do the standard tune get rid of the CEL from the TB upgrade or do you need to go Protune?
Thanks.

Cobb has both a standard tune for stock car, as well as one for the mods. but they will also will protune it for you if you send them a data map. You log it doing a few full third gear pulls, send them the Map, they send you one back to your car's specific specs. Any of the tunes get rid of any cels of any kind.

Soooo ...i researched this for a WHILE and....after being told NO, it was not possible for US cars (over and over - once by a manager for the service department that said he had 20 years experience and it was due to US litigation laws, blah, blah 😒 ...i brought them in directions that I found on here (from a 987 - I have a 981) and they reluctantly agreed to give it a shot...came to pick it up and lo and behold, the DOWN feature worked from key fob!! They told me they could NOT get UP to work but I wonder if they really tried all that hard. Anyway, here in FL, wanted at LEAST down to help air out car from heat. Maybe, when I feel like it, I will start prodding and see if I can't get the UP working as well. Good luck! -Dom

Now that I solved (at least partially) the key fob window mystery ...had a tuning question. There are tuners that offer to custom tune 'remotely' by having you send them specific logging results (they provide parameters), then you test it out, send them results & rinse/repeat until *voila* you have a custom that is better (presumably) than the OTS II tune. My question is, how would these 'remote tunes' compare to a live dyno tune? Please note I am NOT comparing either to the OTS II but rather rather "remote file swapping" to custom, on dyno, protune both using COBB AP. Please advise, thanks! -Dom

Hi Switchface - how did you make out on this? Not sure if you recall but I was the one who got the dealer the instructions from here (Rennlist) and they were successfully able to program my Windows to go DOWN using only the key fob, but not UP (they originally told me it would not do EITHER, b/c US cars were not allowed to based on concern of litigation). That was still odd but I figured it must be true since I gave them directions that WORKED for 'down', so they must have tried the 'up' part of the instructions, right? Wrong (I'm finding that anytime I task a dealership with more than two things per visit their attention span goes to to 0). On a whim one night, i tried it on my 991 - key fob worked to lower AND raise windows, no problem. I had it in last week (for something elective and unrelated) & I decided to test out my theory: I was only having them do 1 thing, so this would be number 2.... I gave them the instructions AGAIN but this time removed ANYTHING having to do with another programming feature (the instructions on here technically deal with three functions - up, down, and hatch programming), so they JUST dealt with how to unable UP using the key fob. Worked like a charm! Tested it out yesterday - now BOTH UP & DOWN work from my key fob on my 2014 981. Woo hoo!!!! Let me know of you need some help. -Dom

1. You can only do this with PIWIS (to my knowledge, tell me if I'm wrong) - do you have one of those units?
2. These instructions were from a 987 - THAT was always the big question mark as to whether or they were valid for a 981 & that the option hadn't been removed by PCNA. I can now tell you definitively that they DO work on a 2014 Cayman.
Let us know how you make out!
Here goes:
Windows open/close with the key in the door lock
Windows open/close using the remote control
Windows drop by 2-3 inches when you open the rear hatch (allows you to drop the hatch shut rather than having to press on it).
First CU (Required for all window options):
CU = PAS
Coding => Comfort via radio remote control => (Currently set to lock or inactive) => Change to Release (Note: The wording maybe "Active" depending on PIWIS version but for all Release = Active and Inactive = Lock).
Coding => Comfort function Window => As above set to release
Coding => Door and Window Comfort Function => As above set to release
** While the dealer is in this unit he can also change to delays for the keys and the way the doors lock after starting the engine or driving off I will not detail these as most of the dealers know how to do these, but what I will say is that these have to be programmed for each key individually. The other coding for the PAS does not need separate coding for each key. If the dealer does not know how to change the locks.....ok I will bite my tongue.
OK back to the window functions, the next steps have to be coded for each door separately so I will only list it once:
CU = Drivers Door / Passenger Door:
(Window Open)
Coding => Open Comfort => Set to release as before
(Window Close)
Coding => Close Comfort => Set to release as before
(Windows Drop when opening hatch)
Coding => Window short stroke by Lugg Comp Op => Set to release as before

Hey Dom, I don't have PIWIS, so I was going to ask the dealer (again) to make this change next time I went in. Just haven't got around to it yet.
Do you think I'll need to print out and hand them these instructions to further dummy proof it??

Depends on your dealer....I sent my SA an email with these EXACT instructions, when I picked up the car he indicated DOWN was working but not UP (litigation excuse)...I accepted it for a month or so but one night on a whim I tried it on my 991- which works in BOTH directions off key, so I pulled up these directions again, took out EVERY reference to anything but getting UP to work and sent him that email. Now it works BOTH directions off key....so, up to you? YMMV...I am curious, keep us posted... -Dom

Any update from Cobb on this? I'm in the market for a tune and need my oil reset done.
