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.

...didn't try so far...Launch's WiFi sensitivity is rather poor, so it doesn´t reach into the garage. I am using the CRP919x w cabled CAN

You did that on PIWIS or Launch x431?

I couldn't find this. I did find the same instrument cluster "key 1-4" on the autel, and based on what key I had it appears it's my second key, but that being said anything I coded on the key #2 didn't seem to change anything in the menus for me which I thought was weird. I brought out the x431 and was able to code things to key #2 no problem. The autel would "code success" but didn't change anything.
Regarding battery charge status:
Realized that the so-called recuperative braking function causes the battery management system to maintain a battery charge state not at full, but at some 60-70% (or below) to have enough headroom left to charge the battery through the generator while braking. This happens only in normal driving mode, but not in Sport/Sport+ modes.
If you open and close the car a few times after engine-off a lower threshold idle voltage is easily reached (<12.4-12.5V; idle voltage measured after several hours without touching the Macan), which was identified by Varta and Banner as a cause of premature aging of AGM batteries.
In the Gateway module (where the battery sensor is connected) I found 2 settings (see below) to stop the Macan from recuperative braking in normal mode, which has the side effect of a constant battery voltage at 14.4-14.5V, which improves the charge level significantly and gives more reserve for long term parking and battery aging.

Both REK values set from Activated to Not Activated
...did a 20Km test drive, no drop in charging voltage occured, therefore also no recuperative braking.

Did someone know PIWIS param for Coding-Exterior lighting-DDL Specification | Disable DRL with Light Switch Off from the google sheet? I want to disable all exterior light when switcher in off position but have no luck yet.
BTW who is maintainer for sheet? I found most of codings from LAUNCH X431 in PIWIS so we could update

have you tried to request edit access? the original owner of the file might not be around any more. but if he/she isn't around, save the file and modify and put in the new codes. and if possible, throw it back up on the cloud
Hello,
I have problem with my Macan GTS MY17 (original US, converted to EU).
After my small test with coding through PIWIS I mess up something and now I have few issues:
Before my "work" there was only old error about low voltage. Nothing else.

After my small test with coding through PIWIS I mess up something and now I have few issues:
- In cluster Macan S logo instead of Macan GTS
- LDW not work
- Entry & Drive not work anymore
- No Boost gauge in cluster
- Bunch of errors like below - last is know issue, but question is it makes problem with Entry&Drive or it's independent. Maybe in history it was coded different way to prevent VTS to mess with codes and now it show up again and make E&D not working.

@Jng ua I try to code PDLS+ according to instruction:
Selected Instruments, Front BCM, Headlights and FrontCamera. I change option, but i not make scan before...
I just "need" my GTS logo back and working Keyless. If it can by done manualy with PIWIS2 in Engineering mode or something - i could Try, I can even make TeamViewer connection to make it with someone with more knowledge and experience than me. Before I done a lot of mods with VAG (add cameras, Lane Assist, reprograming etc), but here coding is much different story than there.

What was coding status?
Go to overview->Additional menu (F7) -> Maintenance of vehicle data -> check that everything is selected according to your hardware
Select control units that you touched -> automatic coding, if some blocks failed, you can try code them separately via automatic/manual coding
Make sure that battery is fully charged or connect battery charger, some coding will fail with engine running

Using PIWIS there is always some level of risk.
You can make modifications or you can "brick" your Macan.
If you don't know what you are doing, the level of risk rises substantially!
Good luck!

My car is also from US but I haven't changed anything region related aside from PCM navigation maps and FM coding, you can choose lang/units from dash display so I think it will be safer to recover first in original US state but it also depends on what was changed during initial "conversion". You need to properly code control units to recover, you can try and fail path on own risk or seek for help from more experienced PIWIS users. Coding usually do not completely brick modules, but programming can. BTW what VCI are you using?
Ok so - I make auto-coding on every infected separate module. Now, because it's from us and I don't have side marks anymore I need to code it out. To be honest - it can wait now.
Still I'm thinking could I code there Dynamic High Beam or not. There are US PDLS+ but without Dynamic HB and without intersection light mode.

It works for me but I got black gts style xenon headlightsMe again. Im searching for option to switch off Side/Marking lights. My front bumper is from EU spec so I have now error of front marking light on desk.
Which option need to be changed?
In simulation mode I found: Coding value: Aussenbelechtung Seitenmarkierungsleuchten verbaut -> when I change only this option it will be OK or is there anything more?

has anyone been successful in coding the Remote to close the rear deck lid/trunk/hatch? Ive followd the previous posted instructions:
rear lid; enable acoustic close via fob. Enable comfort closing. boot close with fob - enable touch or one touch option.
but the first portion eludes me. unable to find Enable acoustic close via fob.
I do have a warning list... but doesnt seem to do the trick.

I’ve seen a few folks mention that some versions of PIWIS 3 are better for coding than others? Specifically something in the mid 30s for the version number.
Can anyone confirm which version is best for coding? I have a 2017 GTS for reference.
