On and off, same with ConBox. During Campaign TSB2229 something went wrong past step 6 (of 11) and it wiped ConBox out. After 4 hours yesterday, and disconnected the battery overnight, back to it in a few minutes. More later, thanks

I know you've had difficulties where you live-have you considered sending the car to a different Porsche dealer for warranty covered service? I'm sure it would involve headaches, but perhaps contacting PCNA might be helpful. Polite pressure within your consumer rights, which I believe vary from State to State, but examine all options-

Maybe pull the front and rear BCMs Off, that eliminates a lot of functions just in those 2 modules, maybe even the DME, the ones that You have quick access to., untill U have steady communications to the Gateway ...then start going back one at a time...

PCM is on, ignition key is on, PCM is on but BT doesn't connect to phone, spoiler is up, but when connected to PIWIS it receives no ignition signal on auto detect. Ergo very limited possibilities

I was looking at some diagrams [CAN Topology] just picked a 2021 911, or is it a different model ? Looks like CAN MMI is on...

Not sure I understand "on your car, not customers..."

I was thinking this happened on your own car, [ not customers] but it's not important.
Did U try to restart the Campaign ? I figure yes, and No go. Charge up both batteries for a while with the key ON, so the ConBox battery charges s well.
I play with this subject for a while. [ Interesting...]

No my own car. Tried to restart Campaign but at some point it asks you to turn on the ignition... How do you check the ConBox battery? Where is it? LiFePO4 is fine, PowerMax on at 14.3v during tries.
Issue is ConBox come and vanishes and doesn't keep label (PORSCHE) as unable to write. Just need to be able to get some power... looking at bridging at the fuse box...
Thanks

Don't know where the 3.5V battery is [Yet], didn't have to pursue it's location yet, generally one sees the Voltage level of it on the Scanner, but if You can't turn things On, the scanner will not read either...
But in any event with the key turned on, keep the maintainer on, can't go wrong, may or may not charge the small battery.
Can that power max charge your main Lithium Battery OK / [I never tried that] We use a different Charger for Lithium batteries. [ Real McCoy -> [url]https://associatedequip.com/producttype/intellamatic-battery-chargers ] ESS6100
I get back to You when I turn anything up on this deal.
Included the Starter Circuit, may be of some help.

Thanks. ConBox battery only charges when ignition is on.
POWERMAX 100A charges fine, voltage and amps controlled as well as visible on PIWIS. Some discrepancy between what PMax displays and PIWIS registers, but still nominal A/V. Normally it's on a CTEK charger, battery voltage was 13.3v.
Left battery neg terminal disconnected over night to let modules drain. No change
I'll have a look at the pdf. Thank you
