Default Piwis diagnosis

Hello. Anyone maybe faced this issue. I am trying to connect to macan ev with piwis. It identifies car everything good. But when i try to read modules it dont find any of them and i get error that this model doesnt belong to identified. Where is the problem? I use 42.7 version, there is new macan. Should i update to 43.6?
with vcds i can read faults, modules no problem

you need to use Audi computers to deal with the Macan from what I'm told it's basically an Audi Q6 EV

I don't know much - but since it's based on the same platform Audi computer's are used - it was the same - but in reverse for the Audi eTron GT - since it was/is based on Taycan - Audi service has to use Porsche comptuers to deal with that product…

I just take my modern cars to the dealers, well because yeah it's getting harder and harder to do DIY - but I did hear Porsche service had to attend training on the Audi computers to support the Macan EV…YMMV my $0.02

Software packages are signed/encrypted now days making it a challenge to code/modify.

to diagnose Macan XA and Cayenne X1 cars, a permanent connection to the Porsche server (PPN online access) is required, since the car has SFD2 protection, but some things such as diagnostics or oil service reset can be done (for a fee)
we periodically diagnose and repair Macan XA
