Softronic Releases OBDII ECU Flashing for 997.2 Cars
Softronic has made another first in Porsche ECU Tuning and now has the ability to flash the DFI Porsche 997.2 cars from 2009+. We utilize our Flasher Client interface which allows the customer to connect to their car with a OBDII cable and write the new Tuned File. No removing of your ECU from the car or downtime. No warranty issues as your true original file is included and can be flashed back ANYTIME.
Contact Us for More Info
After customer Mark G flashed his car in NY he emailed this, "I will say this so far... The power/pull is much more consistent from start to redline. Throttle is perfectedly sensitive and responsive."
The 2009 and up Porsche Carrera is a big change over previous models. The new 911 has switched from a Bosch ECU to now running a Siemens SDI system. The transmission can be had in a standard 6 speed manual or the new PDK transmission to complete with the GTR, M3, and others. Softronic has spent time engineering and developing software for the new FSI cars and is one of the only tuners in the world that can offer an ECU flash via the OBDII port. With some additional programming to adjust the cars timing and air fuel mixtures, Softronic is able to gain performance on both the 3.6L and the 3.8L 911.
3.6L Stock Power – 345HP and 280ft/lbs
Tuned Power – 360HP and 295ft/lbs
3.8L Stock Power – 385HP and 310ft/lbs
Tuned Power – 398HP and 322ft/lbs
Softronic flashes the 997.2 Carrera through the OBDII port of the car. With their Flasher Client software, they are reading a full 1mb of the file to completely tune the ECU. Other companies claim to be able to do this, but are only read 128kb and making global changes. The ECU flash will alter your fuel and timing maps to give you a very linear increase over stock. For those worried about check engine lights, there are none! For those running a high flow cat or straight pipe exhaust systems, Softronic raises the O2 levels which will remove the possibility of having a CEL from this type of exhaust. Once the car is flashed, the low end torque and throttle response will be much improved. The mid-range of the RPM band will feel stronger as well. The overall improvement of drivability makes the 997.2 Carrera even more fun then it was originally. Since warranty is always a concern, Softronic also provides you with your original file. With this original file you can flash your car back to stock at any point. If you go to the dealer, there will be nothing visible through the Porsche PIWIS system. Softronic can program your vehicle no matter what country you are from or what octane you use. We have different maps for those running 91 octane or 93 octane and higher.
What are the benefits/functions of going with Softronic compared to the competition?
- Softronic does not require the removal of your ECU from the car. There is no down time at all.
- Your car can be flashed at your convenience from the comfort of your own garage.
- Softronic reflashing is done via a Client Cable that is connected to the OBDII port. The customer simply plugs the cable into the car and reads the file with a laptop per the instructions with the cable. Once the file is downloaded, it is emailed to the Softronic secure server where the file is tuned and then emailed back to the client. The client simply uploads the file and they are done. Total process is about 1 hour.
- Reflashing is done according to the vehicles octane level of pump gas and modifications are taken into account (Intake, Headers, Exhaust) to enhance power gains.
- All ECU Flashes include the Client Flash Cable. You can opt to upgrade to the Durametric Cable which allows you to flash the car, datalog, turn off warning lights, and more.

If you have sport mode, we can turn it on all the time or leave it as normal. If you do not have sport mode, we can activate it. This has nothing to do with the suspension, only the electronic throttle that the Sport Mode relates to.

Thanks for the info Vivid. Im actually looking into a ECU Flash for the future as a Winter Mod I have a 997.1 C2S. Looking at those numbers it looks like the cars gain 15hp and 10 so Trq. Compared to a 997.1 when it was saying 389Hp and 322 Trq from 355/295 stock if I remember right. Is the DFI just not as tunable as the the 997.1??? Just wondering thsnks man.

So to confirm, currently when existing sport is pressed suspension also comes on (firmer) but with your flash sport will come up on start and (a) suspension is unchanged, (b) suspension changes to firm, or (c) my choice based on what I tell you I want the flash to do?
Separately, I realize I can always flashback but since I am under warranty if all I want on start is sport mode on and no suspension change to firm, can you do that and what would the charge be? thanx.

Can Softronic chnge the PSM parameters so that PSM Failure does not come on at a certain speed on the 31 degree banked NASCAR turns at Daytona?
I had PSM Failure at Daytona last weekend when I got over 130mph on the banked NASCAR turns. Other 997.2S cars had the same issues. This PSM Failure turned off the sport chrono setting for the throttle and the shocks. I do not care so much about the throttle setting in Sport Chrono Plus but I do need the stiff shocks settings and the faster PDK shifting settings. Only to get these settings back on was to turn the car off and restart it...but back up on the banked turns PSM went into failure mode again.

The ECU flash will not affect the suspension be turned on soft or stiff. The Sport Mode function related to the ECU Flash controls the electronic throttle. Without sport mode you only get about 80% of the throttle opening compared to 100%. So if you have us turn sport mode on ALL THE TIME, it will not affect your suspension. Because you get your ORIGINAL and tuned file, you can flash back to stock at anytime.
We do not offer just turning the Sport Mode on, the flash is a whole package.

That would be awesome...so far no one knows anything. my car is going to the dealer so they can run the faults...but...at the track I removed faults with Durametric just so see.

Does the software adjust the fuel/air maps to a perfect mixture?
I think 997.2 owners would really appreciate it if they could get rid of the rich mixture that seems to be the cause of the filthy sooty black tips on these cars.
Also, is the software tunable for 98 Octane ?
Linear Mode
