For the newest Porsche model after 2017 year (i.e 2018 Macan), requires piwis tester 3;
For the older Porsche model (i.e a 99 Boxster), don’t need the newest version, then piwis 2 is okay.

Question: As I’m researching this myself, given that you don’t have a model year that requires it, what is driving you to upgrade from piwis II, to piwis III? Is it just this: "The PIWIS III testerhas a built in multimeter and oscilloscope and the cables are included.”, or other factors that you can note here, for reference?
Reply:
I also have a 2018 Macan that requires the piwis3. I hope to help people in my community and I also plan to rebuild another. I’m excited my PIWIS III arrives tomorrow. I will review after I test it out. I have PSM module arriving Saturday that will need the module replacement procedure.

An interesting thing happened to me the other day. I had just received my PIWIS III and was going to use it to change out the PSM module and before I did I had it run a full diagnostic. At the time I didn’t realize that the unit was in development mode. My Piwis 2 would only show one code, a faulty recirculation servomotor which I have struggled to physically change due to its location. When the diagnostic was complete two things happened; one I realized it was in development mode since all the responses were in German (in development mode the menus can be changed to English but the responses from the modules appear in German) And two there were more error codes. After having Google translate the German responses I discover that the b piller servomotors were mechanically jammed. It also found a fault in the brake light switch which was working properly. I switched the unit to after sales mode( the dealer mode) and those codes weren’t there Then I used the unit to monitor the servomotors in question. What I discovered was that they were indeed not moving from 0 to 100. After finally figuring out where they were located (under the front seats) I pulled one out and took it apart and the motor shaft was seized. Un seizing it didn’t do enough to fix it so I ordered 3(one for the recirc). Anyways the point is that developers mode not only tested the motors it tried to run them from stop to stop which normal mode does not. The brake light switch after checking the voltage while pressing on the switch was showing only 7 volts so it was partially shorted something else missed by the regular mode. If you have mysterious issues with no codes and have access to Porsche tester, try running it in development or engineering mode as it is sometimes called, and see if it reveals any new codes.

Question:
Do you know if it is possible to activate the rear DRL and the LED Matrix headlamps with the PIWIS III?

Answer:
activation codes are not included with the tester. You can add them if you have them but this is an online programming function and the dealer must pay Porsche for the options that he installed. When he sends a work order to Porsche he receives the activation codes then enters them into the PIWIS. Now there are some Russians who have hacked porches codes and will sell you an activation code for new options. I haven’t tried them but I did pay $125 for my original activation codes so I code reprogram a pcm and a new clock spring.

Question: Porsche diagnostic tool PIWIS III clone or original, which one should i buy?
Answer:
I recall now that I encountered a Chinese PIWIS at a local "indy” shop. I had my Turbo in there in Sep. of 2019 to get new O2 sensors installed and the tech — recently from the local Porsche dealer I use — was there and after the sensors were replaced he grabbed what looked like a PIWIS but when I expressed surprise that an indy shop would own one he told me it wasn’t the real thing but a Chinese clone. He said it worked pretty good.

Question:
PIWIS Chinese knock-off is way too expensive for me and offers no online updates. Is it true?
Answer: No. It depends on where you buy one Piwis 3, this one comes with U disk update tool and allows user to update online

Here is how you can Enable IMMO and Programming in Seek advice from nissan consult III plus with no spending out on the intelligent card.

Find the seek the advice of diagnostictool.ini file
open with notepad
copy and paste this at the bottom

Here for Seek the advice of Nissan Consult 3 Plus:

C:\CONSULT-III_plus\System\Application\ApplicationData\CommonSetting\DiagnosticTool.ini

Instruction:
[current_geographical_zones]
market=2
area=3
country=USA
[current_language]
language=GB
[unit_conversion]
unit_conv_1=G001.S002
unit_conv_2=G002.S004

debug_mode_vehicle_battery=TRUE
[vehicles]
tab_index=0
That is operating on my setup
Copy this into your diag.inx folder transform the area location and J2534 name and also you needs to be good to go .

Question and answer:

Could be the Seek the advice of 3+ working a 100% with J2534?
Do I will need any further files or media to download to become in a position to program?

Answer: You happen to be pretty limited working with a Pass-Thru with Seek advice from software I believe. Study and Delete fault codes yes. Programming and Safety I think not. Ideal to utilize a Consult3 or 3+ interface. You’ll be able to plan working with Nissan Ners software with a Pass-Thru although.

For the files, You are going to must invest in access on Nissan web-site for the flash files. I feel you could buy a 4 hour access but you should verify this. It varies according to Nation and how Nissan are feeling it seems. Diagnostic computer software is often found around the forum.

SUBJECT:
Connecting to the DRB III Emulator for Cummins Engines

MODELS:
1998 – 2002 (BR) RAM Pickup
1998 – 2002 (BE) RAM Pickup/Quad Cab
2003 – 2005 (DR) RAM 1500/2500 Pickup

NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with the 5.9L I6 Cummins 24V Diesel Engine (Sale Codes ETC) or 5.9L I6 HO Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine (Sale Codes\ ETH).

DISCUSSION:
Proper diagnosis and connection of the DRBIII emulator to wiTECH

DEVICE:
wiTech Micropod II with proper DRB III software or wiTech VCI Pod with DRB3

CAUTION! Extreme care must be taken when programming the flash file of a generic ECM.
Do not randomly select a flash file. If in doubt, contact the STAR Center for assistance. Installing an incorrect flash file into an ECM can cause severe engine damage. Once a flash file is selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed with a different flash file.

NOTE: For vehicles that are equipped with the SKIM, the DRB III scan tool is still needed to program the SKIM. Failure to install the SKIM pin number into the module after flashing the Cummins ECM will cause a start and stall condition.

NOTE: Connecting the DRB III Emulator to the ECM before flashing will result in the following message "Unable to ID Module For ECM” (Fig. 1) . This is normal because
the ECM has not been programmed yet. It does not indicate the replacement module is faulty.

NOTE: Before beginning the programming procedure, all previous flash files must be removed from your computer, any previous flash files will be located at
(c Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp\Low(. The files that need to be removed will have a FCA part number followed by a (.flbin) and (.flpart) (Fig. 2) .

Following are Step-By-Step screen shots of ECM programming using DRBIII Emulator:
1. Download TechTOOLS from DealerConnect (Fig. 3) .

2. In TechTOOLS, enter the VIN or ECM part number(Fig. 4) .

3. Select the DRBIII Emulator check box and then select "Show Updates” to display all available flashes (Fig. 5) .

4. Select the appropriate ECM calibration, based off the engine reference number located on the valve cover. (Fig. 6) .

NOTE: Based on the reference number, the software selected with be the latest available

5. Press "Download” tab to download the chosen file to the computer (Fig. 7)

6. When download is complete, log off DealerConnect then connect to wiTECH (Fig. .

7. Launch DRB III Enhanced (Fig. 9) .

8. You will see the DRB III Emulator screen. Press "Yes” (Fig. 10) .

9. Select "Vehicle Flash” (Fig. 11) .

10. Select "Flash Powertrain” (Fig. 12) .

11. You will see the following screen but, with no data displayed. This does not mean ECM does not communicate (Fig. 13) .

12. Select "Start” (Fig. 14) .

13. The screen will populate with Module and Part Number information and an option to download (Fig. 15) .

CAUTION! Failure to install the SKIM pin number into the module after flashing the Cummins ECM will cause a start and stall condition.

14. Is the vehicle equipped with SKIM?
• YES>>> Proceed to Step 15.
• NO>>> Proceed to Step 16.
15. On vehicles equipped with SKIM, transfer the VIN and Security Key information from the SKIM to the ECM. Using the DRB3 select:
a. "DRBIII Standalone”
b. "1998 – 2005 Diagnostics”
c. "All”
d. "Theft Alarm”
e. "SKIM”
f. "Miscellaneous”
