Nothing that was programmed cannot be re-programmed. Only functions that never existed before cannot be programmed.

so are you aware if those functions are available on factory 3-piece spoiler or is that something additional you added/ordered on the spoiler installed on your car?

For GTS and Turbo, your factory 3-piece spoiler are factory programmed to deploy at 90km/h for position A and 205km/h for position B/Sport Plus mode. There is no intermediate between A and B. I can change that to have three different positons by simply programming.via PIWIS, and at any speeds and angles (positions A, B and anything in between) you choose, (disclaimer: only for experimental purposes,) and of course I will have to restrict your choice to what makes sense to me. I can walk any verifiable current Senior Level Porsche Certified mechanic thru how to program it with PIWIS for free, but I will not do this for any independent shops due to danger of using without understanding unsupported parameters and values that may brick your car. This procedure is very simple and risk free for Porsche Engineers, but extremely high risky if performed by unofficially trained Porsche mechanic. FYI, I am just a humble engineer, I am not officially trained Porsche mechanic, but I am death reincarnated with scars.

Please refer to http://www.porscheownersmanuals.com/...13/Manual-mode for official terms.

You mean at speed 0km/h, and at position B, never retracting? Yes, that I can do it. I need remote control (like TeamViewer or similar) of a PIWIS 2 or 3 with full E mode access connected to your car and I need a Porsche senior mechanic who can read German or a Porsche Engineer on site. If car goes into coma, I need that person be able to revive it so I can resume. It is very simple (to me at least), but tedious. I am going to do it on my car tonight just to prove it can be done.

You are welcome anytime. I am open 24/7 for emergencies, but I do appreciate if you can let me know way ahead of time due to my crazy schedules that fills up fast. By the way, do you have rear power sun shades in your Panamera?

What means dead button? It doesn't work? When did it stop working? Can you show me a picture?

Now I get it. You never had the rear sunshade. I did not know you can order it like that. I do know you can program it like that because I saw it as separate. I also saw that the rear side windows can have non-electric shades. I have never seen it non-electric though. I guess the non-electric option was cancelled at the time it reached production. I did checked out my friends' BMWs and found out that all of theirs are non-electric. I was shocked. I have always seen Porsches that have them and they are all electric. I do not have sun shades at all, but that will be changed in 7 days or less.

I have full electric sunshades on rear door windows and trunk. It's not really blocking all the light. I think in the description, it's only blocking UV due to the material. I think it's more of a cool factor that blocking light. I think my tint is more effective in blocking light. But the cool thing is the rear liftgate shade rolls down when you are reversing, and rolls back up when you go forward above 10MPH.

I will be adding articles about every mod that I have done over there. I will also create support documents so everybody who wants to do those things can do them in the near future.
