Yes, exactly.
I am very curious on the “launch ” options available.....and what most members would like to see there !

 

Your wish is granted. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the Joker button options.

Porsche hidden features

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.

Hey Run Buh,
This is an amazing list you compiled for Launch. Have you thought about starting your own Master LAUNCH coding thread........were we can keep this alive and updated ?

I've thought about it, but I think having that one post in this thread would be a slightly better approach since this thread is about coding in general. Also - anyone who knows how to use PIWIS can take the Launch items and translate to what they need to do for PIWIS (most of the time).

I like the idea of keeping coding discussions in one thread so much that I asked for Don16's PDLS+ via PIWIS thread to get merged into this one.

Someday, I'm gonna figure out your PDLS+ via Launch question.

 

anyone enabled this with LAUNCH "??

 

Hey terrific Run Buh , sounds great, I am new to Launch

 

At least get the intersection lighting component of PDLS+ going. No need to wait on that.

 

Loving Splus on the diamond now, NO looking around, its right at thumb......YA !!!

 

This is correct. I have a 2018 so I would have needed a 3. Original post edited.

 

Did you figure this out ?

 

It's in my larger post in this thread, but here ya go (for the Launch):
Intersection lighting (I have PDLS+)

• Headlight: Coding-Byte 4-Intersection Light. Set to Active.

 

Wow, one line code change ?
Executing that in the morning !!!!!!

Thank you Run Buh !

 

I did that modification on mine and works pretty well. Cool addition.

 

How can you confirm it’s active ?

 

When you're driving the intersection (cornering lights) illuminate with slight turning of steering wheel and both come on when coming to junctions etc

Guess you need to have someone watch you approach an intersection, LOL

 

You know when you turn the wheel to the left, and an extra light comes on that provides additional lighting to the left/front of the car? Think of that, except that intersection lighting lights up BOTH sides at the same time as you approach an intersection. You should definitely be able to see that occur as your approach an intersection. Be aware that this is not perfect, nor perfectly consistent as to when the lights come on. This is driven by GPS/NAV (if you don't have NAV in your car, enabling intersection lighting yields nothing).

 

Don, so having the "A" come on...like demonstrated in your video....does NOT mean that PDLS + is active ?

 

A is for high beam Assit which can be toggled on and off. This has nothing to do with intersection lights which is always ready when the headlights come on.

Thanks for sharing the list Sterod, and me helping me initially to get going !

The very last section , PCM.....what does that enable ??

 

That was a mod I did for someone with an older Macan with PCM 3, it was to delete the legal disclaimers that appear for navigation.

 

In Dons video......it looks like he does hits a few modules ...

 

Got it....so what other feature makes PDLS plus ?

 

Hmmm - this may depend on the year/options. I thought all Macan's came with the static cornering lights (the "left/front" thing I mentioned above). It appears not. On 2021 models, in the US, this is what you get with PDLS+ (see below). I can't speak to what came with Macan's in other years, in other countries. You'll need to check your owner's manual.

• Dynamic Cornering Light
  Dynamic cornering lights swivel the low beam in accordance with cornering characteristics, depending on the steering angle.
• Static Cornering Light
  Static cornering lights are activated based on steering angle at low speed in tighter corners or while stationary.
• Speed-Dependent Headlight Range Control
  Speed-dependent headlight range control increases light distribution after 3,300 feet at 68 mph or higher, or immediately after 81 mph and above provided the steering wheel is not turned sharply.
• High Beam Assistant
  When a camera located inside the rear-view mirror detects the headlights of an oncoming vehicle, the high beams are automatically turned off at a distance of approximately 2,600 feet. If the taillights of a vehicle traveling in front are detected, the high beam is then turned off at a distance of approximately 1,300 feet.

 

Anyone find the coding for the high Beam Assist? Is there any hardware required for this, or is it just coding activation?

I enabled the interSection byte 4 successfully, no real world test yet as I am winter parked up.

Pushing the stalk forward turns on regular hi beams , but as expected, a subsequent push does not enable HBA, as expected ....think we need a change for this ?

Also added the signal to 4 flashes.

I see a “back up” code selection .....is that just for the sub section you are in ? Or a juicy whole back up ?

 

Intersection lighting not mentioned in there ......?

 

In the US we don't get intersection lighting, thus the coding to enable it.

 

As mentioned above. Intersection lights is another option you need to enable in the headlights under coding.

When we get PDLS+-via-Launch coding figured out, I actually plan to disable my automatic high-beam, unless I can also figure out how to change the sensitivity. I find it annoying that they do not come on unless it's super dark outside, and the whole thing about not coming on at speeds under 38mph.

While I'm ranting: Second gen Macans don't have dedicated front fog lights. In fact, my 2021 US-spec Macan doesn't have front fog light functionality of any sort. Only a single light in the rear comes on when I pull the fog switch (as documented on page 125 of the manual). My wife's 2019 Cayenne, which also doesn't have dedicated front fog lights, uses lights within the main headlight housing to provide fog light functionality It appears to me that her car is just using the static cornering lights. I wonder if something like that can be enabled on the second gen Macans?

Do second gen Macans outside the US have any front fog light functionality?

 

By the way, here's the PDLS/PDLS+ wording for the 2021 Macan from the Porsche UK site:

Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) with automatic and dynamic range adjustment.
Dynamic cornering lights: main headlights that automatically swivel towards the inside of a bend, depending on the steering angle and speed. The static cornering light activates the auxiliary headlights to widen the illumination of tight bends, e.g. at turns. The speed-sensitive headlight range control logic adjusts the range and aperture contour of the dipped beams at higher speeds (e.g. on the motorway) to illuminate the road even further ahead. The adverse weather function is able to dim the upper light cone in order to reduce the effect of reflection phenomena in poor visibility conditions (e.g. fog) and thus the risk of the driver being dazzled.

PDLS Plus also has a dynamic main beam control with continuous range adaptation based on prevailing traffic and navigation-based Intersection Assistant that activates the left and right static cornering lights for improved illumination of the surrounding area at intersections and junctions

 

Okay Run Buh, thanks, HBA is not as important as Intersection lighting for me.....which I think is now enabled.

Will check on the back up thread, cheers.

 

If you have white dials......the lights are always on ? As desired ? Normally ?

 

Gotcha......

 

Continuing to correlate from Don's excellent piwis video to Launch. It looks like PIWIS rounded up 4 areas for changes:
1) FRONTKAMERA_0005
2) Kombiinstument_Gen2_A2.2
3) SCHEINWERFER_3
4) BCM vorne E2 MAX GT4


Roughly translated would you agree we have the following:

1) Front Camera
2) Intrument Cluster
3) Headlights
4) Body Control Module FRONT


The one change known for intersection lighting below is maybe #3 above.????????? ...on the hunt for others.....

• Intersection lighting (I have PDLS+)
  • Headlight: Coding-Byte 4-Intersection Light. Set to Active.

 

It’s my hope that you can monkey with the off and on threshold values to make them effectively on all the time,

 

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON, DURING DAYLIGHT!!!

@Run Buh, your theory on white dials worked (it seems white dials need this backlight turned on all the time). I was able to successfully turn on the instrument dials during daylight operation, following your suggestions... without having to turn on any exterior lights... fantastic finding!

The two key codes you need to modify are:

(1) Kombinstrument: Dimmung - allegemeine Konfiguration: Konfiguration zentrales Zifferblatt Weiss = ja {Instrument cluster: dimming - general configuration: configuration central dial white = yes}

This one turns the central RPM dial on... This is a pre-requisite to turn on the speedometer dial. This means that you could opt to turn on the RPM dial only, or the RPM and Speedometer.

(2) Kombinstrument: Dimmung - allgemeine Konfiguration: Konfiguration alle Zifferblatter Weiss = ja {Instrument cluster: dimming - general configuration: configuration of all dials white = yes}

This one turns the speedometer dial (but you need to turn the RPM dial on first).

Only the dials turn on, not the red indicator, which is fine. Also, no need to tinker with the dimming values...

Awesome!!!

Thank you for testing and documenting this!
