Porsche ECU upgrade
I understand that Porsche is on it's 2nd or 3rd generation ECU code. Anyone know if Porsche is offering to upgrade from older versions?
TIA,
Mike

You just need to OBD2 it and look at the software number. They are up to the 4th version and it is upgradeable through the dealer.

Yes, if you have our program and they flash it it will need to be reflashed by us.
