WSD0 - Install Upgrade to the Software Network VR28.11 (Workshop Campaign)
Important:
CRITICAL WARNING -This campaign includes steps where control unit(s) in the vehicle will be programmed
with the PIWIS Tester. The vehicle voltage must be maintained between 13.5 volts and 14.5 volts during this
programming. Failure to maintain this voltage could result in damaged control unit(s). Damage caused by
inadequate voltage during programming is not a warrantable defect. The technician must verify the actual
vehicle voltage in the PIWIS Tester before starting the campaign and also document the actual voltage on the
repair order.
Model Year:
As of 2024 up to 2025
Model Line:
Macan Electric (XAB)
Concerns:
Software update (Upgrade to software version VR28.11)
Cause:
Additional software optimizations are available for various control units for the Macan Electric.
An overview of the changes that will be implemented with the software update can be found in the appendix
under ⇒ Technical Information 'Overview of software update changes'.
Action:
Perform reprogramming of the affected vehicle using the PIWIS Tester on the incremented software network
VR28.11.
Information
The minimum programming requirement is the PIWIS Tester software release 43.300.010 (or higher).
Information
The prerequisite for this action is the successful implementation of the campaign WRM0 – Update to
software network VR28.11.
If software network 28.11 has not yet been installed on the respective vehicle, this must be done before
carrying out the present action here. Read TI WRM0 for details on this.
Affected
Vehicles:
Only vehicles assigned to the campaign (also see PCSS Vehicle Information).
Required tools
Tool:
•
•

Information
Vehicle update – general information
The entire vehicle network will be checked for a necessary update or computed to ensure fault-free functioning of the vehicle. For this purpose, the following preparations are to be made:
•
Latest release on PIWIS Tester 4 and PiUS available
•
Vehicle is fully constructed
•
VCI and PIWIS Tester 4 must be connected to each other via workshop Wi-Fi
•
The user must be logged in to the PIWIS Tester 4 in the PPN
•
Vehicle must be supported with an external charger
•
Seat heating and seat ventilation are not active
•
Place the original hand-held transmitter in the emergency start tray (see Workshop Manual)
The vehicle performs the update independently. The current status can be retrieved on the diagnostic tester
or on the front display and control panel (R238) under Messages (RPC+).
Information
For this update procedure, the respective vehicle no longer needs to be in transport mode.
If necessary, the vehicle must be commissioned before carrying out the present action in order to deactivate
the transport mode.

Observe preconditions for control unit programming.
⇒ Technical Information '9X10IN Basic instructions and procedure for control unit programming using
the PIWIS Tester'
Information
An active Internet connection with the PIWIS Tester must be maintained.
The technician must log in to PPN with the PIWIS tester.
The PIWIS Tester must not be charged using the cigarette lighter!
Information
Before starting the diagnosis, it is essential for an ignition change to be performed on the vehicle.
Subsequently, after starting the diagnosis, the VCI is automatically initialized and the control unit data is
loaded.
For additional information on the programming procedure and if the process is aborted, see ⇒ Technical
Information '9X10IN FAQs on control unit programming and coding'.

Updating the software of various control units to incremented software network VR28.11.
2.1
Start new logging via •P2“.
2.2
As soon as the control unit overview is displayed, open the additional menu •F7“.
An overview of all campaigns to be carried out for the respective vehicle is then displayed automatically.

2.3
Confirm the campaigns to be carried out for the respective vehicle by pressing •F12“, but do
not start for the time being.
2.4
Create Vehicle Analysis Log. Flag the created VAL with "Pre-VAL".
2.5
During the automatic integration test on the PIWIS Tester, press •F11“ to cancel it.
Update the software of various control units to incremented software network VR28.11.
In the displayed additional menu, select and confirm the "Control unit programming and coding
(campaign)" menu item.

Information
During the update process, all displays in the vehicle (instrument cluster, central display and passenger
display) are occasionally switched off. Programming nevertheless continues. The ignition must not be
switched off without Tester instruction..
If WiFi coverage is insufficient, the connection between
the PIWIS Tester and VCI can be interrupted (battery
charge indicator inactive on the Tester display at the
top right). The vehicle will nevertheless continue
programming independently. In the meantime, no
entry must be made on the PIWIS Tester, and the
programming must not be restarted. In such a case,
the progress of the update can still be followed inside
the vehicle via the central display by activating the
"Messages" tile.
For specific information on control unit programming
during this campaign, see the table below.
Update progress on the central display
Required PIWIS Tester software release:
43.300.010 (or higher)
Type of control unit programming:

Rectification of intermittent yellow or red warning messages for
"vehicle electrical system" due to HCP5 communication failures
within the control unit network
Correcting the fault: Asynchronous starting of the microcontroller in the HCP4 main control unit after bus idling intermittently prevents terminal 15 from switching on. As a result, the
vehicle cannot be started or unlocked using a key remote.
Correcting the fault: Intermittent communication breakdowns
in the HCP4 hardware security module prevent terminal 15 from
switching on.
