Default Retrofit Turbo spoiler on Panamera 4

i all
i just had instal turbo spoiling pany4 2013 and it works and looks great exactly like factory installation. It is done by a genius engineer from Atlanta who found the right way of doing it. I showed mine to dealership they couldn’t believe it. It is done exactly like factory install and they couldn’t say any difference. I don’t think any dealership knows even how to do this. I saw some Chinese did in China as plug and play but it doesn’t behave normal. I saw the clips on YouTube. It is stuck on middle of closing .

If you are interested I can introduce you to the engineer. He may do it for you too.

Kayvan1347, thanks for bringing me here.
Yours is the fourth one in our family. Please meet your siblings:
Mine:

And I changed my deployment speeds to 40, 65 and 90 mph so I can go thru all three heights easily. I did this just to prove that I did not cheat by using last leg relays, which will cause it to get stuck during retraction.

This one drove up from Orlando, and I recorded this the morning after the conversion:

This came from Boca Raton. It used to be this color, but now it's very very sharp and unique:

And Kayvan, this is yours, the youngest of all, born last week:

Anyone interested, please PM me. I am working with a dealership on sourcing parts, attempting to keep it reasonable to be installed with full factory function (60mph low angle and 135mph at high angle and Sport Plus with high angle after 60mph). Deployment speeds can be customized for a small fee per programming incident.

Hi ateong1, I am glad you found me here. I think you can help many of us with your skills to install the Turbo Spoiler.

That will be awesome. Just to let everyone know, I have done more than just the spoiler.

My mod list is as followed:
Adaptive Cruise Control
Lane Departure Warning
Voice Control
iPhone Carplay/Android Auto on PCM3 or 3.1
991.2 Sports and GT steering wheel with fully functional MF and heat
Sport Plus Chrono full package
Interior Light Package w/programming (not just swapping the LED light bulbs)
End of list for now

In the plans:
Rear electric roll up shade
Rear side windows power roll up shades

I think anything imaginable can be achieved. Let me know your wish, and who knows, it may be granted.

Just in Sport Plus mode? I am not sure, but up all the time can be done for sure. I don't think Porsche mechanics can do it. I can do it.

Actually, I think up to position B immediately when Sport Plus is engaged can be done, but retracting may require moving your car to 10mph. I will test that. It's a limitation of the sensors output to Rear BCM, but not a programming limitation.

The ideal function for me would be everything same as stock other than when in Sport Chrono the spoiler is in portion B yes.

Ok, I programmed my car and here is what happened:

1. I changed Sport Plus to deploy spoiler at 0 and retract at 0
2. I started car. Pressed Sport Plus. Car lowered suspension to lowest. Nothing happened to the spoiler.
3. I put car in D and started driving. As soon as car moved, spoiler extended to position B
4. I drove and stopped car. Nothing happened.
5. I put car in P, nothing happened.
6. I turned of ignition and left car, car was still lowest and spoiler position B.
7. I got in and turned on car, Sport Plus was no longer lit. I put in D and drove, car raised to normal ride height and spoiler retracted.
8. Using spoiler button will extend to position A only. Spoiler button will not retract from position B when in Sport Plus mode.
9. Sport mode works like normal mode regarding the spoiler only.

Ich habe nur zwei Parameter geändert:

Spoiler-Parameter: SportPlusAusf
Spoiler-Parameter: SportPlusEinf

Wert: 0 Einheit: km/h

Thumbs up

Dude, you are a beast, there are several things I would like to discuss with you, from adding the turbo wing to my 2016 Panamera 4, to Apple Carplay mod if it does not eliminate XM radio. I am really excited for you to perfect the sun shades, I would like to add those, the cooling unit in the rear compartment and finally the Sport Exhaust, I have had the Sports Plus completed by my local dealer last year. I am in NC and Atlanta is a day trip for me, 6 hours, less when I get my Escort Ci Max 360 installed.

Hi
you found the right person to do it for you. Let’s see what he did for me.
i also installed the Turbo exhaust. Ask atwong about ambient light too. We added it too. We love it.

Just curious what software are you using to make these modifications? I'm looking for a way to disable the spoiler completely during winter months. Maybe I could program it to come out at 250km/h.
