Please report back on your attempt to disable the seat belt warning. I was able to do this on my Audi's using RossTech cable and software. I'd love to do it on my current 911 and future Macan.

 

Seat belt warning disabled with x431 Launch as posted by Dollarlongnecks

I would venture after over 10 years on the VAG-COM for my RS5 and Touaregs that the x431 is more powerful. But the learning curve is VERY steep and intuitive is not a word that comes to mind when describing the Launch Tool

Starting in the 2019 model year, and both the 2.0 and 2.9 liter engines?

 

I believe so, sort of like buying a Ferrari and getting a FIAT engine... oh well at least the oil filter is on top

Air suspension? That's the one that will get me to buy one.

 

Already on the car...option 1BK with PASM

No, you misunderstand. Can you code the air suspension to go lower than what the Macan provides stock. I'm pretty sure I read this... maybe in a Cayenne forum? I could be mistaken.

 

Oh sorry, since that would be the last thing I would ever contemplate given where I live (I already have a skid steer to plow), could this be a solution?

That is probably the solution v. Launch X431. I was hoping that the X431 would lower beyond OEM. Thanks.

 

I'm not saying it can't but in reviewing the threads in the Cayenne forum there was nothing that I saw that mentioned lowering it below OEM. This seems to be a cheap, reversible and if it's as accessible as on the Cayenne easy mod. Hope you do have a good skid plate though.

...and the dipstick tube exists on the Audi-based engines, which is handy for sucking out the oil.

No, I think only the four-cylinder engines are Audi-based; the six-cylinder engines are Porsche.

On the RS5 going the dipstick way is a nightmare. You need to remove the left hand air intake assembly which is why I designed an access panel.

As to 6 cyl. Macan engines, as of 2020 anyway, they're Audi not Porsche engines.

Nope, starting in 2019, all eninges are Audi based.

 

The 3.9l V6 is an Audi engine. Lots of discussions about this over the last year.
