My background, I do not work for Porsche or have I ever used a dealer unit. The III is easier to use but is more technically challenging to clone since it seeks a signal from Porsche to authorize the VCI (the thing you plug into the car’s diagnostic port) The Chinese who sell the clones, created their own server to clone and send out those signals, then modified the VCI firmware to look for the Chinese signal instead of the Porsche signal. So please keep this tread for programming help.įirst of all, a PIWIS II and a Piwis III do the same things, only the three can do newer cars, 2018 and on, where as the two is limited to the 2017 and earlier models.
After seeing the explosion of people that purchased this tool, I felt we needed a thread where people could go to get specific programming help, and not wade through posts on how to create a VM tester or where to buy a tester.
