There is one more connector with four more pins, and also PINS 4 and 5 on the Turbo Spoiler are populated. Apparently pins 4 and 5 will carry current because they are thick. This means pins 1 to 4 of the new connector are for signalling. I am gathering relays from eBay. It should be fully operational very soon.
I want to stress that it's very important to tape the painted area surrounding the spoiler when removing or installing it. It's a very very very tight fit and you will scratch your paint badly if you don't tape around it. Some people told me painter's tape. I find it too easy to tear, so I chose duct tape. Do not use Gorilla tape because it's way too strong.

Mine is a 13’ Pan S, just picked up 2013 GTS as well.

Wiring diagram is here for anyone interested. I drew this based on PIWIS2 and it will work for 2014-2016. I have bypassed one plug where all spoiler connectors are. I think I may add that later so that I can disconnect the entire spoiler function with one pull. But for now, this will work. Some mistakes in the drawing where wires should not cross, but accurate other than those. Sorry I don't do this every day.

I have to remove this drawing due to copyright.

Using the wiring diagram that I drew, I made this... I think it will be working before Friday.

@ @atwong1 When you have time is there any way you can document the steps taken to activate this in PIWIS 2, I'm considering doing this myself.

I have a 2014 car.

Finished. I have lots of pictures to share. This is harder than the Adaptive Cruise Control project by a factor of 3. I broke it down into 3 nights of work. Night 1 was inside the liftgate. Night 2 was behind the battery. Night 3 was programming. about 5 hours each. I have some clean up to do where I will be using the factory relay plate so it's not easy to tell it was an add on. This project should not be a one man project unless you are very crazy about cars. I will have all details soon.

For those who prefer used spoiler, I can support you, but I don't really want to deal with it due to potentially missing/broken parts.

I will have one Turbo spoiler for sale in one month. I used it as reference so it's basically brand new. Price will be $1600 plus shipping. Shipping insurance is required. I live in Atlanta GA, so pick up is optional. Message me if interested.

For those who just want it done, I am willing to do it for $2738.00 with a brand new genuine Porsche spoiler: $700 install plus $100 programming, $1938 for the spoiler. If you prefer used spoiler, I can support you, but I don't really want to deal with it due to potentially missing/broken parts.
Very sweet!!! Looking forward to a video of it working
