How to Complete the ECU Flash by Clearing Codes of the DFI Porsche Cars
When flashing your DFI Porsche Carrera, Cayman, Boxster, or Cayenne with Softronic through the OBDII port, you will need to clear codes on the car before running it. The flashing process is slightly different then the older Carrera and Turbo cars. This is why we include the Basic Durametric cable which allows you to clear codes with the Durametric Software. Once you load your new tuned file that has been emailed to you from Softronic, follow these basic steps. Failing to do this will result in your car being operable or put your car in a limp mode.
