Porsche Piwis III Developer Mode:

The Developer Mode in Porsche Piwis 3 is not available when you update the shell, coz you lose the menu diagnostics configuration to switch between regular and developer mode,
Problem solved if you copy the old file com.porsche.piwis.Shell.exe.config

Here is how to update the shell config. and get the diagnostic configuration boxes back, on the system tab.

After a successful update from 37.250.20 you will loose the two above mentioned boxes from the System tab.
If you did not loose them, then the [PIDT] diagnostic software did not update completely.
So it’s a good thing to loose it !
Go to C:\PiwisApps\Shel\ and carefuly edit with notepad   this file –> com.porsche.piwis.Shell.exe.config
after the update the PIDT section shows up in green, after U edit it it will be blue.
First picture shows, red underlined, 2 places, beginning and the end of the green section, what to remove.
On top [Line 568 on mine] U delete  these four symbols       !–<     on the bottom [line 603 on mine] U delete these 3 symbols   –>
Then U save the config file.
Restart the PC and your Diagnostic config box for 991,981,970 and Diagnostic config for other models RE-APPEAR.
rm996 has the solution how get the developer functionality back up and running, !!!

Another tip might help you also.

It’s how to enable Developer Mode for Piwis 3

Developer mode is a special Piwis program that allow a lot of advanced coding normally reserved only to Factory.
With this function you will have a tool that can do more than software of official Porsche Dealer.
For example, you can reprogram all ECUs completely offline.

How to use Piwis Developer Mode:

Install winrar and winhex on your computer.
-1-locate the file c:\program files\porsche\PIDT_P_MIG_DLSS3\pidt\plugins\de.dsa.pidt.datatype.jar and copy it on your desktop in order to modify it.
Open it with winrar,in the wirar windows locate the file
\de\dsa\pidt\datatypes\utils\Helper$1.class and drag it on your destop , delete it from the archive after the copy, keep the winrar window open.
Open Helper$1.class on your desktop with winhex and goto offset E81, replace 9A by A7 and save.
Drag back the save file on the winrar windows still open and click OK.Close winrar
Copy the new file de.dsa.pidt.datatype.jar you just made in
c:\program files\porsche\PIDT_P_MIG_DLSS3\pidt\plugins, overwrite it.
copy the file aftersales.sig on your desktop and rename it development.sig.Copy this file back in the folder
Do exactly the same method given above with the folder c:\program files\porsche\PIDT_P_MIG_DLSS3 with its own files.
To transform it in developer :
Settings
Diagnostic configuration
981-991, mode, operating mode, E= development, P= production, V= aftersales ( regular piwis)
Other models line, mode, operating mode, E= development, P= production, V= aftersales ( regular piwis)
This method to switch between regular and developer works only with my backup and will not work anymore after
an update.

Caterpillar electronic technician 2020B with WinFlash is an updated version of the caterpillar dealer diagnostic software

Microsoft ended extended support for Windows 7 as of January 2020. The CAT ET service tool no longer supports Windows 7 as of the 2020B release. The installation is still possible, but we’re not able to guarantee the stable work of 2020B

In case if you still running windows 7, we can offer you the 2020A version as last compatible with windows 7, for this purpose, please indicate 2020A release in the comments field.

The Built-in Factory Password Generator

The experimental feature allows you to decode (18-Bit passwords not supported) factory passwords

Cat works with the Caterpillar Communication Adapters family.
The recommended adapter is a Caterpillar Communication Adapter III Kit PN 538-5051 (Replaces 466-6258).
This diagnostic app allows you to: Change vehicle’s parameters Lock / Unlock parameters Diagnose and reconfigure Reading of error codes ECM Flash

Recently, we have received a lot of questions about the most convenient way to obtain this product.

As soon as payment is done you will be redirected to the download page.

OBDSTAR X300M is specially developed for odometer adjustment, which makes it devoted and professional. There’re some things you need to keep in mind while working on Peugeot/Citroen cars with X300 odometer correction tool.

Notice:
1. During the mileage adjustment process, ensure the power is sufficient and the voltage is stable.

2. Before performing the adjustment function, you must read and save the instrument and BSI data (EEPROM and FLASH) first.

3. For the mileage adjustment, it needs to adjust the instrument and BSI module at the same time. If one of them is adjusted first, it will be synchronized by the data of another module and restored to the original mileage. The solution is as follows:

Option 1): First remove the adjustment (do not pull the plug), and then adjust the instrument mileage through OBD. After the adjustment is successful, immediately unplug the instrument (as fast as possible), and then adjust the BSI mileage through OBD. The value is consistent with the instrument. After that, enter the reading mileage, confirm the mileage to be adjusted, and then install the instrument;

Option 2): First adjust the instrument mileage through OBD. After the adjustment is successful, immediately unplug the instrument power supply fuse (as fast as possible, it is recommended to unplug the fuse before adjusting the instrument to check whether the instrument is powered off), and then adjust the BSI mileage through OBD. The value is consistent with the instrument. After that, enter the reading mileage, confirm the mileage to be adjusted, and then install the instrument fuse.

The instrument fuse is on the BSI, and the BSI position is generally below the steering wheel, as shown below.

Note: The position of the fuses may vary depending on years and models. According to the BSI module brand type, Valeo is generally F21, Continent is generally F19, and JHNSON CONTRLS is generally F12…;

4. BSI menu is based on types, such as “CONTINENTAL BSI-Q0X”, where CONTINENTAL is the BSI brand name. Q0X is the BSI type, X stands for any number 0-9, and the device can automatically recognize. If not, the types are not supported. Types can be seen on the BSI module label, as shown below.
