That's another benefit to living in the USA (other countries also do this - one rear fog light only)

Both rear side markers are on (in daylight is very hard to distinguish). In the driver’s side, the marker is to the left of the reverse led. To the right of the reverse led, that’s a reflector. No rear fog lights on.
Is there any macan enthusiast in the Houston area willing to hook’a fella enthusiast to activate the followin hidden features please?
1. Remote closing and opening of windows and sunroof.
2. Change the tap-turn signal from 3 to 5 blinks.
I promise to make it worth your time.

It was super helpful for me too. I asked my dealership about this and let them know I had come across a video showing it being enabled. They initially came back with a $4000+ quote which included a bunch of hardware, so I reminded them that I was pretty sure I had all the hardware already (2018 GTS with Lane Departure Warning and PDLS w/bi-xenons), and asked them to check the link again. They must have watched the video because they enabled it for me for the cost of one hour of labor ($188). I got the impression that it was the first time they did it because they weren’t sure it worked as they were unable to test with all the city lights around here.
Huge thanks to Don16, and kudos to my dealership for working with me on this “experiment”

Yes @Teddis. Even when I have PIWIS, I’m seriously considering getting the Launch. PIWIS is just too cumbersome to handle... connect... translate the German... etc...

Does anybody want to go in as a group and purchase the Launch Mini? We can code our cars, and then ship it to member to member!

I have no idea how the Launch works but I would assume it'd be tied to a specific VIN ... wouldn't you think? If not, I'd be down. Where's the link to it?

it's not tied to a specific VIN (at least mine isn't). I have already used mine on two different Porsche's. The tool is meant to be used by auto repair shops. Mine came with so many different connectors for other cars (old BMW's with a round connector under the hood for resetting service indicators, for example). There should not be a problem sharing it.

The hard part is figuring out which one to get. For the record, I have the 2021 Launch PROS (sic) Mini (not the PRO, the PROS). It seems to do all of the coding and maintenance, etc. that the more expensive V+ does. You can't go wrong with the 2021 V+. Bigger screen, bigger battery, memory expandability - the PROS Mini is smaller, has a smaller battery, and the memory cannot be expanded. These are just Android tablets - probably Lenovo's.
Be aware - these things come from China. I did not register my personal email account on this thing. I used a burner account (free from outlook.com, gmail, whatever). I don't even let these things on my main home wireless network. I only let it connect to my guest wireless network. You need to be on a wireless network to use these things (updates and downloads).

NOTE: THESE DO NOT APPLY TO THE MACAN. See how to set the available joker button options in this post:
