Haha no me neither! But the car feels very solid with sports PASM switched on so I'm pretty confident it hasn't been!

My office is only about 1 mile from 9e so picked mine up on Friday.

Took about 20mins to swap to the DSC , The connectors can be a bit fiddly as the have to slide up, the off.

After a 70 mile drive yesterday could definitely feel the difference, takes the edge off the bumps and ripples in the road surface.

Mine car is a 991, and it was the V3 DSC module I fitted

so, does it come 'out of the box' with normal mode settings and 'sports mode' settings and it works in the same way as it did before?
I assume you can, should you want to, tweak both of these "profiles"?

is it possible to have different profiles activated by different button pushes (ie hold down the pasm button etc)

The standard setting comes on with the ignition. You select 'Sports' suspension mode by pressing the 'Sports' suspension button. It does its magic all by itself. In both modes you can feel it doing its thing whether you are accelerating, breaking, cruising and cornering.

The 'Sports' mode for the engine/gearbox works independently on its own button.

got ya. pushing sports mode usually turns on sports suspension though, is that not the case any longer?

Sorry, I confused myself there.

If you press the 'Sport' button you get Sports Suspension and Engine/Gearbox Sports mode.

You can then toggle the Sports suspension off and back on again by pressing the button with the suspension unit symbol on it. The dash display briefly tells you which you have selected.

It also remembers what setting you had on before ignition off unlike the OEM PASM controller which always defaulted back to normal on ignition on :wink:

Re the software you can get different maps to download from the website or if you have more time / interest you can download the programming software to design your own normal and sport maps ......they are great fun to play around with and learn......I ended up with my own maps (on a 987 boxster) as the default are 997 maps and I don't think properly accounted for rougher road conditions in the UK than the US ie I adjusted for weight and 'bumps" to suit me / my car / local roads to me. :typing:

Ace. Can't wait to fiddle with it.
So did anyone receive their tracking numbers today as promised?

 

[thefunkygibbon]

received it just now. woohoo seems very light and not much to it (compared to the existing one) will fit it and test later and give some initial trip reports

Yes it should be ........but I like to play around.......so I got to know the software and how the various settings work and played around to create my own calibration file :wink:

....it looks like they have added extra features to a new version of the software (feb 2020) with new calibration files to use those new settings...also they have done a specific 987 file .........so will give me something new to play around with if/when I get chance :bandit:

 

[thefunkygibbon]

is there some kind of guide as to what actually you're supposed to when you get your new dsc unit? i mean are you supposed to check firmware, apply updates etc, zero the dampers? blah blah blah
