Diagnostics, key learning and module adaptation for Porsche vehicles

The Abrites Diagnostics for Porsche is the offline Windows software for Porsche. It scans every module in the car, reads and clears trouble codes, codes and adapts control units, learns keys and remote controls on every generation from the 986 to the Macan, removes component protection, and handles the Immo V module adaptations on the newer cars.

Required equipment

• Abrites AVDI interface, through the OBD-II connector
• A Windows PC, Windows 10 64-bit or newer
• Licences, depending on what you do:
  • PO006 - instrument cluster and engine control unit recalibration
  • PO008 - key and remote programming, enable code calculation, coding and adaptation
  • PO009 - module adaptation, component protection, live data
  • or PO00F, which is all three
• For key programming: a ProTag programmer (ZN103), an internet connection and active AMS
• For "All keys lost" on the 997 and 987: an ABPROG (ZN151) and soldering equipment
• For the newer cars (Panamera, Cayenne 92A, 991, 981, Macan): a programmer able to read the BCM Front DFlash
• A stable supply on the vehicle

Coding can damage a control unit. Manual coding writes whatever configuration you select. Choose the wrong options and the unit is wrongly coded. Read the unit's current coding and save it before you change anything.

Block the wheels before you test anything. Work in a ventilated area, away from fuel vapours and sparks, and never run the engine in a closed space.
