For the items in the doc that mention "(requires additional coding)", what does that entail exactly?

Will I be able to do them with just the x431?

Thanks!

Yes… It refers to additional steps you need to take, but all can be done with X431.

For example, to activate illumination of the RPM and Speedometer dials, there are two steps. You can’t activate the Speedometer dial illumination without first activating the RPM dial illumination. You are seeing the “requires additional coding” in the Speedometer dial illumination because if you activate that alone, you won’t see anything happening… it requires the additional RPM dial illumination code.

Hope this clarifies.
 
Did the 24.05 update come with a new firmware for the OBDII BT dongle, and did you update the dongle with that new firmware? It's usually automatic, but you do see it happen.
 
Im trying suggested fix @Loins
@caglenator I'll try this firmware fix option in the settings if loins' option doesn't resolve it.

Sorry man I’m a total beginner at this. You could try messaging their tech support or one of the more experienced guys who have commented in this thread.
 
FYI 24.06 released after contacting support and working through the feedback process. I'm happy to report I have full access to my instrument cluster now. THERE IS A TON OF STUFF in there, lots to go through and I enabled all the things I wanted.

I don't know if anyone was aware but you can enable the joker (diamond) button for ALL of the sport and sport plus stuff Including the sport exhaust
 
For anyone interested in getting the coolant gauge to read real time Coolant Temps. Setting in Instrument cluster > coolant temp curve

Coolant Temperature Idiot Gauge/Light -- The Fix - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums
PIc below shows: left side Temps the gauge will show, right side actual coolant Temps.
To correct this I copied the X2 - X8 values over to the corresponding Y2 - Y8 fields

Adaptive brake lights. Brakes flash if the car sense a deceleration rate of -81.gs to .71 gs deceleration.

*Brakes Lights are currently set to flash for 2 seconds but that will be reduced to 1 sec.


Interestingly enough, I just checked:
instrument cluster > coolant temperature charcteristic curve
and my x and y's were all the same so for year 22 they may have updated this
