Work Procedure: 1
Only relevant for vehicles with Scope 1: Start control unit programming of VR8.6.
The basic procedure for control unit programming is described in the Workshop Manual
Workshop Manual '9X00IN Basic instructions and procedure for control unit programming using the
PIWIS Tester'
For specific information on control unit programming of VR8.6 during this campaign, see
the table below:
Required PIWIS Tester software version:
40.550.040 (or higher)
Type of control unit programming:
Control unit programming using the 'Campaign'
function in the Additional menu on the PIWIS
Tester by entering a programming code.
Programming code:
P5P8E
Programming sequence:
Read and follow the information and instructions
on the PIWIS Tester during the guided
programming sequence.
Do not interrupt programming and coding.

End and restore operational readiness (switch
ignition off and then on again).
Read out and erase the fault memory
Workshop Manual '9X00IN Basic instructions
and procedure for control unit programming
using the PIWIS Tester'.
Repeat control unit programming by entering
the programming code again, whereby
extended logging must be started using the key
combination •Ctrl“ + •L“.
Extended logging records diagnostic software
data, particularly vehicle communication data,
which is required for analysing the issues that
caused programming to be aborted.
If control unit programming is aborted a
second time, end operational readiness for
approx. 15 minutes (switch off ignition) and
repeat the procedure described here again.

Select the guest account from the central display (PCM) and activate Privacy mode (available in
some countries).
Information
To ensure that no user-specific settings from cloud-based services (Porsche Connect & My
Porsche) are lost during the update, activate Privacy mode before starting the update. When Privacy
mode is activated, communication between the vehicle and the Porsche Connect app and My Porsche is
disabled. No vehicle-specific information is transferred. As a result, settings cannot be configured on the
vehicle using the Porsche Connect app or My Porsche.
When the instrument cluster and central computer are re-programmed, the individual settings
implemented in the vehicle by the customer will be lost and reset to the default values of the country
version that applies to the vehicle.
After carrying out the campaign, please inform customers that personal settings they have implemented
in the instrument cluster and central display of the central computer will have to be set again and provide
them with any help and support they need for setting the relevant options.
