Programming instrument cluster

Information

- In the instrument cluster is also the gateway control unit. When replacing the instrument cluster, the values read out in the Instrument cluster menu must also be written in the gateway control unit. See description of the procedure.

- If the control unit is replaced, it must be programmed and coded using the Porsche System Tester. This is to adapt the control unit to the vehicle and equipment.

- If possible, before the control unit is removed and replaced, a read-out of the vehicle data should be obtained using the Porsche System Tester.

- During coding, it is essential to guarantee the power supply for the Porsche System Tester. It is essential to connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A to the vehicle battery.
