Accessport PDK Tuning for 718 Boxster/Cayman

Our unending ambition for the Accessport is to develop the most complete tuning solution for every platform we support. The COBB Tuning Porsche team is proud to announce that we are another step closer to that goal with the latest release for the premier German performance brand. The Accessport now offers 718 and 991.2 owners the ability to flash the factory PDK controller with COBB optimized Off The Shelf Map files for the following vehicles.

718 Vehicles Supported

2017-2019 Porsche Cayman/Boxster GTS
2017-2019 Porsche Cayman/Boxster S
2017-2019 Porsche Cayman/Boxster Base

Accessport Options

The applicable Accessports are now offered with the option to include PDK tuning right out of the box, or the PDK features can be purchased and updated remotely for those that already have an ECU tune via the Accessport installed on a car. See the part numbers and pricing below.

PDK Relearn Feature

Over time clutches can wear and the thickness can decrease. Performing a PDK relearn will help the PDK verify clutch thickness and position. This is particularly useful after a clutch replacement or in cars with higher mileage. This demonstration is from the previous 991.1 models but is very similar to the latest update that adds this feature to the 718 and 991.2 PDK Accessports.
