Have bought a new car Macan, and I heard a friend say to brush some Porsche hidden functions, using the Porsche engineers version of the computer brush out, which a friend can help me brush out, computer engineer, who can brush out, please contact me, and I will thank you to the way you like.

well, if you‘re used to the auto high beam and it does not work the same way in your retrofitted Macan, my assumption is your independent mech did not the coding right.
He likely changed the lamps from Xenon to LED, but did not get the auto high beam part right.
Did you have that function before with the old headlights, and do you have the appropriate front cam required?
Each car is different. I tried the same mod with a second car and must say I failed. The car did throw all kind of errors (PSM I believe). It takes time to make sure HW components are suitable, comparing part numbers and browsing PET and options. Thus, no guarantee it works with all cars...

Hi all, decided to setup a YouTube channel. I am obsessed with cars so I thought what better way to share my passion....
One of my videos is how to enable PDLS+, for this to work you need at minimum xenon headlights and front camera(one used for Lane assist or traffic sign recognition)
Anyways heres the video, please subscribe to my channel if you also share a passion about cars:

Really nice. Any other PIWIS tips? How about adjusting the boost display to higher psi?
How do you know if you have PDLS+?
That's easy to do. I can shoot a video on how to do this, give me a few days.

You will have dynamic high beam assist, which once activated (pre Facelift, simply activating high beam using stalk, assuming setting is enabled in cluster) you will get the following symbol:

can you provide part numbers? as far as I understand I need PIWIS3 tool + PIWIS 3 cable + PIWIS 3 soft? Just trying to figure out the damage in case I decide to go PIWIS route.

Care to share details on how you did it?

Intersection Light
The intersection light function detects intersections and junctions using the navigation data from the Porsche Communication Management system. It switches on the left and right cornering lights simultaneously for optimized illumination at intersections.
Thanks a lot for this Don! I wasn’t sure what to expect so here’s my experience...
Just confirming, I was able to get this done on my 2018 Macan with Bi-xenons, PDLS (so the headlight swivel feature), and Lane Departure Warning (which uses a camera looking forward).
I stopped by an independent certified Porsche service center that I connected with, confirmed they had PIWIS3, and had sent them the YouTube video in advance (wasn’t sure if the dealership service centers would do this). When I got there, initially their mechanic wasn’t sure if PDLS+ could be enabled without the LEDs, but I showed him don’s YouTube video as well and asked him to try anyways. He did and told me he was surprised that “the car took the programming”.
Now when I push on the hi-beam stalk, the first push turns on auto-hi-beams. This shows a second green headlight icon next to the low beam one in the dash with the letter “A”. As an aside, another tap of the hi-beat stalk takes it off auto, and sticks the hi-beams on.
In auto-high beams, by default the low beams stay on. While in auto, if it’s dark, I’m going over a certain speed, there are no cars in front going in either direction, and no street lights, the high beams will turn on automatically (and the blue high beam light will come on in the dash). If the camera then spots car headlights, car tail lights, or two street lights (yes, the manual mentions this), it’ll turn off the high beams (and the blue light in the dash).

Anybody can chime in on possibility of front camera installation? I see that it's cheap to buy on ebay but the bracket on the windshield is different. Also somebody above mentioned that another windshield will be required? If anybody can chime in i'd appreciate.
