Tiptronic oil change DIY ?

Is there a DIY somewhere over here regarding the tiptronic transmission oil change?

I tried to search with different terms but could not find anything related to that other than dealer pricing.

The job is a bit involved. I vaguely recall some of the steps with the older 996 Tips but not nearly well enough to post them in any useful order.

I know some here are DIY crazy but the Tip fluid change I'd leave for a shop or even a dealer, some place that knows how to do this and do it right and will use the right fluid.

Mess up a 6-speed tranny fluid change and the tranny might survive no worse for the wear.

Mess up a Tip tranny fluid change and... Well, price a replacement Tip before you proceed and decide if the big potential risk is worth the small gain.

Yes, I also indeed have considered taking it to the dealer, due to the relative complexity of the fluid change.
