The coding needs to be done in 4 ECUs (if I recall correctly Tiptronic, Aircon, PCM, and Power control).
the quick and easy way:
just select ALL ECUs in Piwis and de-select the ones which are definitely irrelevant (such as doors, DME, hatch, ..). Then you‘re sure you code them all together (process will be automated, sequentially ECU by ECU as you will see).
once selection has been done, select „Coding“ and scroll down to the Start/Stop option. It can be set to on, off, or Last Mode.
select Last Mode and press F12.
the option will be coded and the switch remembers its last setting. Done.
if you‘re uncertain which modules to code - just select all of them and de-select the DME (as DME does not get coded), then code them all.
just takes some seconds more because all ECUs will be read out, even though only 4 of them will be altered...
have fun!
Thanks. How about the performance gauge? Did you ever get then to work properly?
Any idea in the switch off speed for the parkassist/Surroundview? I changed it in park assist but still I can not manually switch it on above 10mph
Is it possible to code comfort entry into a 8 way seat with memory? Since the steering wheel is not powered it just looking for the seat to move back a few inches. Did not see this being referenced in the Cayenne thread. This is for a 2021 GTS

Reason: additional info
Yep I have option Q2J, 14 way and then it is accessible. If it makes you feel better, I do have it programmed but find it retracts way to far back so when you're in again you need scoot forward to reach the pedal to turn the key. I think if they just moved the steering wheel way out of the way it would have made for a better deal.
Can you tell me what PDLS+ gives you and what section it is enabled in?
Hey was wondering if I could ask a few questions about PDLS to PDLS+. I have piwis 3, and all the right hardware in the Macan, but can't seem to find where in the software to enable it. Thanks.
EDIT: sorry I replied to the wrong user

Just to share quickly which mods I was able to code on my MY17 Macan, using Piwis:
- lowered air suspension by 32mm
- retrofitted a heated steering wheel
- retrofitted a OEM backup camera (PDC was in car, but w/o cam)
- Upgrade from PDLS to PDLS+ (since front camera and lights are the same) just by coding
- Memo function for the Start/Stop function (set to „last mode“) - this was the most annoying „feature“ ..
- Option of 22“ wheels (in TPMS menu)
- Option to automatically fold in rearview mirrors when locking the car. Unfolds when starting the car.
- some additional menus in the dash cluster, e.g. Power / Torque
- eliminate seat belt warning (just for testing) in dash cluster
Hi, I had a few questions about doing the PDLS to PDLS+ upgrade. I have PIWIS 3, and the Macan has the right hardware (lights, camera). Am trying to navigate the software. If you can provide any input that would be appreciated.
Anyone with ventilated seats - the car currently nannies me and tells me I'm not allowed to turn them on when the auto climate control is heating the air inside the car. Sometimes I want to heat my frontside but cool my backside! Is this codeable?
Don't know if it's codable or not but it's a good idea in cold climates. The dual function reminds me of an ad I saw for a Rolls Royce where they advertised that due to a dual air conditioning and heating system, you could have air conditioning coming from the panel vents while having heat coming from the floor vents. Something to the effect that, "A British gentleman should always keep a cool head and warm feet."
