    Question Porsche Cayenne

    Doubt I'll get any responses here, but if I do, that'd be great! I'm a new Porsche Cayenne Turbo owner. 2011, 958.1 to be exact. On one hand, there are a plethora of ECU tuning solutions for our platform. Yet, on the other hand, it's not that great. It would be more than amazing if we could get HPTuners support as I know it's a quality product, software tuning, and company.

    What would it take to get the Porsche ECU data available for reading/writing/tuning?

    I am going to purchase the MPVI2+ OBD2 device at least, for now. A tuner I plan on working with (a really knowledgable Porsche shop out of Arkansas!) recommended I could give this a try for data-logging purposes. Since there doesn't seem to be any all-in-one sort of data-logging AND tuning solution all in one. If I want to flash/tune the ECU, I'll most likely need a handheld OBD2 device called MyGenius. Luckily, it does hold up to 5 tunes and I can just leave it in the glovebox. It won't do any parameter reading/data-logging though... and I really want/need a solution for data logging so that I can get my tune fully dialed in (sending data logs back to the tuner to adjust the tune, etc). I also plan on running a WMI kit at some point and really want the ability to log and monitor data especially.

    I'm hoping the MPVI2+ at the very least won't be a paperweight and will serve me well for data-logging purposes, if nothing else.

    If there's any way I can assist in getting ECU data to the forum or to HPTuners, how could one use HPTuners to tune this platform?

    Again, probably would be a miracle if anyone responds. But hey!

    Such as....? I have the Dimsport MyGenius currently running a canned OTS "Stage 1" tune, if you will, from one of the few vendors/tuners for this platform with any reputation for additional aftermarket tuning... I'm looking to take things to the next level and dial in a more custom tune now that've made quite a few more modifications that could benefit from a re-tune i.e. exhaust, downpipes, air intake, GT3 throttle body, custom DIY larger post-intercooler charge pipes and y-plenum pipe, and most recently just added WMI system from Snow Performance and plan to run 100% methanol.

    All I can see is maybe trying to purchase/download the Dimsport's software tuning program and do it myself... https://www.dimsport.it/en/race/race-evo-software/

    I'd prefer not to have to learn how to tune my vehicle, but I'm not opposed to it and have a few friends that have tuned their own 1200whp Corvettes or 800whp BMWs and could certainly give me some starting points. I don't know how it'd work since the Dimsport MyGenius I have might be "locked" to the vehicle/tuner I bought it from. But he's not being very responsive to my requests for a re-tune... and more importantly I can't figure out a solid data-logging solution to capture values and parameters to send to him anyways for him to build a new tune off of.... sigh
