In checking the manual for my '09 CS, you probably won't need a PIWIS. The procedures for my '09 CS are:
  • Press the INFO button
  • Press the OPTION button (or touch the tab with the same name)
  • Select "SET PCM system"
    • Regional Settings
      • Language
I don't know if this will work or not, but hope it helps.

Of course they did. When I was having issues with my parking heater (option 7VL) they told me my fuel pump feeding it was bad. Of course it was a super rare part. They were wrong. It was the coolant pump on the parking heater. Literally 100% wrong. Now, I do have a new fuel pump AND water pump (which I ended up diagnosing and replacing myself) so I am good to go for another 20 years.

Hi Ingmar

Did you fix this or do you still need help. Which country was the car imported from?

Sorry for late answer,haven't solved it yet.Imported from Germany,i'm hoping i can solve this with a Autel maxi pro 808 bt.
Any of you Porsche gurus know in which of all modules i can find this??Got my hands on a unit from a Swedish sold car but it's still the same.Don't mind english but i prefer swedish.
