Durametric Pro worthless for coding my car!
I acquired a Durametric Pro interface specifically for the added functions of coding.
So I tried to activate the automatic door locking at speed >5 function. The control module shows appropriate setting but function doesnt work. So I try to activate the comfort window function. Again setting shows as activated but doesnt work.
Duramtric support is also just as pityful. I sent them an email asking on how to code a specific function and they tell me to read the manual which I have read and it doesnt say.
For me, durametric is just a 700 US$ to read and clear error codes.

My 2008 Cayman had Sport Chrono and the CDR-24 (so no personal settings in the PCM), and my dealer was able to enable automatic locking of the doors in PIWIS.
So if I undertood Phil_D correctly, my experience with a Cayman contradicts his understanding that functions that are available as personal settings in the PCM can't be set by PIWIS. I have no idea whether Caymans and Carreras behave differently in this respect, or whether this is true for all of the personal settings that can be set in the PCM.

Thanks for all replies.
I do not have sport chrono.
I have made the settings as shown in post 2 but no dice.
I will make the setting as discussed in post 6 and report back.
Anyway, anyone interested in a very lightly used durametric pro interface?

I'm referring to Sport Chrono, (I believe although not certain that Sport Chrono Plus was only available on .2 PDK cars), which on a 997 allows to set various things with the PCM, one of these being the auto door locks. I know someone that tried to have the dealer set the auto door locking with no Sport Chrono and it did not work. I have also heard this from other sources. That's not to say it can't be done, as dealers sometimes don't get things right.

That works for me and others. I have the comfort windows working just fine. Why you have to have Comfort Opening: Off is beyond me, but that's the way it works. You may want to try switching those for both doors, as I seem to recall someone had them working with the Comfort Closing: Off and Comfort Opening: On.

If this is important to you, it sounds like you'd have to pay to get the Sport Chrono upgrade first, then pay a dealer to enable it for you. The cost for a 997.2 with MT is $902.39 + dealer PIWIs coding charge. (See http://content3.eu.porsche.com/prod/...rm&country=usa). Yes, that it absurd, but that is Porsche and their optioning. Note that there is no wart with the post-factory install, but you do get the features (which is a bigger deal for a PDK than a MT due to the shifting remap).

I have Sport Chrono on .1 and can set the personal settings via the PCM.

No, I said that if you don't have the settings, ie: no Sport Chrono, then they can't be set with PIWIS.
