Remote PIWIS/PPN service recommendation
Has anyone had any success working with someone who is able to do remote PIWIS coding with PPN access?
I am looking to retrofit a PCM4 unit, and need to swap the Bose amplifier to the newer MOST150 version as I'd like to keep the system as factory as possible. From what I understand this will require PPN access to ensure the head unit/gateway is able to recognize the new amp.
Google turns up a few places in China or HK that offer services like this, but I have no idea if these are reliable or not.

No I never did. What I found is the Component Protection in 2017+ cars is different and it's not possible to retrofit newer components (like a Bose amplifier) into older cars. Porsche simply doesn't provide any options for programming Component Protection when entering the VIN of an older car.
There are workarounds for the PCM units using MIB which you can do yourself without PPN access.
