With BMW these things can be modified so that a light etc can stay on or off independent of the headlights - it's call coding. Anyone know if this can be done for the Taycan. I think the lightbar at the back makes the car look really nice from the back but it's a shame it only comes on when the headlights are working.

I haven’t been able to find any coding apps for Porsches. Maybe I didn’t look in the right places.

I'm sure coding apps will take some time.

Have good experience from VCDS for Audis.

You can buy Durametric for Porsche coding but it only works on older models I think

You will need a PIWIS of undetermined type to do coding. I've seen some Chinese PIWIS but would not trust them. I have the Durametric Pro used to reset the oil change & maintenance messages in the Cayenne & Spyder.

Just bringing this back to attention.
It’s a shame it’s not a menu option

I asked them:

Answer:
The Durametric Software currently supports Porsche models through 2015. Support for newer models will be added with future software updates. However, no timeline for release is yet available.
