Someone recommended I share this info with my Porsche brethren, so here's a small taste of what we've been doing with the Cayenne: https://rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-...iscussion.html

I have a brand new Macan loaner while my Cayenne is being repaired, and I hooked-up my Launch x431 Pro Mini and it appears that there is a ton of functionality available.




So, if anyone is looking for an alternative to the PIWIS, this might be a good option.

I'll have the car through the weekend if anyone would like me to search for anything specific.

Okay, I’ll bite , lol
Are you able to change the Max Boost displayed in the MFD,
or, decrease beep sound for the closing hatch ?
or access the height of an Air suspension equipped MACAN.
have fun !

OK, I was able to active the boost gauge on this vehicle - as it wasn't activated originally - and then I was able to adjust the max of the boost display from the default 1 bar to 3 bar. I did a test drive and it makes the bar graph longer and the readout even appeared to indicate larger values that it did when it was set to 1 bar, so this appears to work as expected.

This vehicle doesn't have the air suspension, so I can't access that module to see what functions are available.

I turned-off the beeps on my Cayenne hatch, but I haven't tried yet with the Macan, but I will.

Willy07

so we are/clear ..........you made these changes just now with a 2019 Macan...what model ?

dollarlongnecks

Yes, but it'a actually a 2020 Macan, at least according to the title in the glovebox.

No additional badging on the back, so as far as I know it's a base Macan.

I also cleared all the fault codes stored in the system, and found all the reset tools for maintenance, etc.

Willy07

Err, sorry, I see 2019 !acan now in your screen grab.

Willy07

So you see a field to register a new battery? That would be valuable.

dollarlongnecks

Lot's of stuff under the headlight module (screenshots below), and there was also a lot of lighting settings in the Instrument Panel module.

Yes, battery change stuff is there as well.

OK, successfully turned-off the beeping for the closing/opening of the hatch.

Willy07

Launch x431 Pro Mini

This is the device I have, and this is actually the seller I bought it from:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LAUNCH-X431...r/233436484660

I've seen it on Amazon as well. There are a bunch of different versions - not to mention a US seller and a China seller - and it can be a bit confusing, but if you scan through the thread I linked in the first post, you can see the conversations we've already had over the version types, functionality, etc.

Thank you, so the mini is just a smaller display ?
