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.
Mr xiaotoan
mpunkt - Thank you for the positive information. Have you made any other coding changes on your 23 Macan?
I want to implement "Adaptive Braking Lights". It is a feature that euro Porsches have that flashes all 3 of your rear brake lights if you are traveling over a set speed and hit the brakes hard enough to trigger some level of de-acceleration. Over the years I have been rear ended a few times and want to minimize future accidents. The dealer acknowledges the feature but will not turn it on since it is not available in the US. I tried a highly qualified indy who uses the PIWIS system but he was not able to change the codes. Thanks again for your help.

Someone posted the following in the coding thread of the 718 forum... I thought it was interesting, but may only work with PCM4.0 and above. If true, this will provide some additional tuning capability in the already limited PCM...
Sound Quality Coding:
X431:
SYSTEM SELECTION->PCM->Hidden/Brush coding->Hidden/Brush coding
->Set_Loundspeaker_Test_Frequency->
*->Set_Loundspeaker_Test_Frequency--bass
*->Set_Loundspeaker_Test_Frequency--mid-range
*->Set_Loundspeaker_Test_Frequency--treble
FACTORY (# = lower limit Hz for the built-in crossovers)
Bass: 100
Mid: 1,000
Treble: 4,000
RECOMMENDED (Brighter vocals and better clarity highs)
Bass: 100
Mid: 1,000
Treble: 3,000 (or 2,000)
(You can have PCM running and music playing while making adjustments to notice the changes)
The higher end of all of these settings is set to 19,000hz from the factory, not any way to change this, coding will not show any changes.
These settings do not correlate with normal Hz crossover settings as someone better at tuning an equalizer/crossover would think they would.
What I have found is that the bass setting at 100 is perfect, any less leads to distortion; mid can be adjusted as desired and will handle changes down to 500hz without distortion, and higher will take away some warmth/depth which can be added from treble; treble shows the most noticeable change in the tweeters and mid speakers (door/dash/rear), this is why lowering the response Hz of treble brightens up the sound stage.
My car has the BOSE audio system and these settings did help add some depth/brightness to the mid-range; whereas before it sounded muffled/muddy, now there is more warmth and brightness to the vocals. This is testing out with a variety of music genres.
I have also added Burmester dome tweeters and center dash speaker, so pushing the treble down to 2,000hz made it sound even better for my car and taste. The Burmester speakers are of better quality and I will eventually change out most of the speakers for these. I did not want to make significant changes by adding any aftermarket stuff to enhance the sound, so this worked well for me.
I hope this helps some of you out and should open up even more sound tuning capability, especially for folks with more understanding of sound than I have.

Does anyone know where in Launch I can find anything related to the car auto locking when walking away from the car in case you forget to lock it yourself?
I think I accidentally disabled the feature an year ago when I had a Launch, as I had my car broken into. I think it may have been my fault in not locking the doors as nothing was broken.
Thanks!

I have have ever really looked into this, never needed it, but It seems many new cars have an "auto lock" feature available. Meaning, you arrive somewhere, you exit the vehicle ( do not arm via remote ) and within set period of time, car locks up.
This is not available on Macan ?

...In case your's isn't equipped with keyless-go it would be a major catastrophe getting locked out with the key forgotten inside...
What bothered me was this automatic relock feature after 30s, which is way to short when you plan to load the car. Fortunately this timer can be set to 255s (max) as described above.

After I replaced my transfer case fluid I tried to reset the wear integrator but couldn't find where to do that. I just spent 45 minutes sitting in the car with the Launch X431 going through A LOT of menus but still couldn't find where to rest the number. HAs anyone successfully reset their TC wear integrator number with a Launch X431? If so, where did you make that change at?
I don’t have Launch, but with PIWIS it’s All wheel drive, VTG oil change, maintenance repairs. Hopefully you can find something similar with Launch
Hello
can you give me instructions for piwis 3
One-Touch flashing Cycle" from 3 to 5
Thank you
Changed turn signal "One-Touch flashing Cycle" from 3 to 5
CODING:
Front End Electronics: Coding: Coding_0: Exterior Lights Parameters-One touch flashing cycles = {whatever number of flashing cycles you prefer}

I found it on the Panamera but it's not the same
on the macan we don't have the same line

Hello folks 
...I used the search function, but did not find any real answer, so here is the question:
Is it possible to code the automatic closing of the windows/glass roof when it starts raining? The excel "cheatsheet" does not seem to give an answer either
Owning a Launch x431 PROS MINI.
Thx

...From a battery power savings point of view such feature would only make sense when driving and electronics is supplied by the alternator. When turned off, the camera system and associated electronics would drain the battery significantly...when driving, oneself is the best rain sensor anyway...
Yesterday I checked if it is possible to activate the seat memory for the driver's seat on a '23 Macan T with 8-way sports seats. No seat memory was ordered (might only apply to non-US versions).
Found out that my Launch did not list any seat memory module in the system list. Looking under the seat did not show any electronics box either.
After an extensive internet search I tend to the opinion that in order to retrofit the driver's seat memory one has to change the seat button module (motors connected to this directly w/o memory) the corresponding harness and add the seat memory module plus activate everything*.
- Am I right?
*including the button module in the driver's door...thought maybe I could operate the seat memory without door buttons, just by using the auto memory function with different keys

Hi members. I am a new owner of a PIWIS3 with VAS6154 and started to use it today to get rid of some dash errors I have after replacing the clock spring with the steering angle sensor n
I have a few screenshots of the errors.
Does anyone have any advice on how I get the calibration to work? Everytime I get past the checklist, it tells me to turn ignition off, even when it is off. How do I get past the point and then move to the end stops part?
