The following codings can be performed:
Information
- When installing a new PCM/CDR in a vehicle, the PCM/CDR code specified in the PIWIS information system should be available. Normally, the code is stored in the instrument cluster and is read out from the PCM/CDR.
- You can get the codes from the PIWIS info system or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number.
- During coding, it is essential to guarantee the power supply for PIWIS Tester II 9818 . A battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A must be connected to the vehicle battery.
- The PIWIS Tester II 9818 instructions take precedence and in the event of a discrepancy, these are the instructions that must be followed. Deviations can occur with later software versions.
- The procedure described here has been structured in general terms; different text may appear in PIWIS Tester II 9818 or additional information/steps may be displayed or required.
- If the PCM code is not displayed with an *, then select the PCM code , enter it and code it by pressing [F8].
- Select Country coding and the relevant country, and press [F8] to start coding.
- Select Vehicle type vehicle coding

Multi-function steering wheel Not installed Installed - In the other submenus of the Coding menu (e.g. Porsche Assistance, Other and Enabling codes, e.g. Sport Chrono), other customer-specific settings can be selected and coded in the same way.
- In the menu PCM MMI , change to MOST actual installed components list ; here a version installed in the vehicle (e.g. CD changer) must be displayed
- Switch to MOST required installed components list . The same variant (e.g. CD autochanger) must also be displayed here - if this is not the case, select the variant and press [F8] to start coding.
- Select Required & Actual configuration with the cursor keys and press [F12] to confirm your selection.
- Compare the Actual/Required listing. Press [F8] to start the Mapping . All installed audio components must now be listed with a plus under Actual/Required. If this is not the case, the variants in the MOST actual installed components list or MOST required installed components list must be coded manually.
- Press [F11] to exit the PCM MMI
menu and switch to the PCM GW
menu.

- Read out the fault memory of all control units and erase it if necessary.
- PCM is now taught.
- If the PCM/vehicle equipment does not have a DVD navigation unit, then adjust the time/date using the SET button on the PCM and in the PCM system menu.
- For vehicle equipment with DVD navigation unit, switch on the PCM in clear surroundings (to load GPS almanac). As soon as four satellites are identified, the almanac will be re-loaded. The time is updated again when there is plausible GPS reception (four satellites). The date and time are also adopted once the GPS almanac has been loaded. It may be necessary to change over to summer time (daylight-saving time). This time is transferred to the instrument cluster. If the time is then changed manually via the instrument cluster, this time is adopted by the PCM and synchronised with GPS time.
- For vehicle equipment with telephone, the telephone is enabled again when the telephone PIN code is entered with the SIM telephone card inserted.
