Spoiler Coding
Spoiler Coding
The settings for the spoiler can be customized to add up to up to three different spoiler positions
at three different speeds in normal and sport modes and a single different spoiler speed for sport
plus mode. Thank you to Cratervanawesome for pointing out the Rennlist post for the 981 that
much of this is based on. Without coding, the spoiler on my car raises to 112 “steps” at 120 kph
and completely lowers at 80 kph in normal, sport mode and sport plus mode (if my car had sport
plus). Optional: If you would also like to change the pitch of your spoiler by modifying the push
rod mechanism, Sanher747 offers a kit to do that. Check out this post for more information on
the pitch modification: For Sale - REAR WING ADJUSTMENT DEVICE | Porsche 718 Forum.
The coding below does the following:
In Normal and Sport Modes:
The spoiler raises to the first extension position of 300 "steps" at 120 kph and lowers at 80 kph.
The spoiler raises to the second extension position of 350 "steps" at 160 kph and lowers back to
the first extension position setting at 140 kph.
The spoiler raises to the third extension position of 360 "steps" at 190 kph and lowers back to the
second extension position setting at 170 kph.
You can modify these numbers to change how high or at what speeds the spoiler raises and
lowers for the three height adjustments.
In Sport Plus mode:
Spoiler immediately raises to third extension position of 360 “steps” at 100 kph and completely
lowers at 50 kph.
However, the above coding is just an example to illustrate how the codes effect the operation of
the spoiler.
Any or all three height adjustments may also be coded out by setting the activation speeds to
unrealistic values (639 kph and 654 kph) to effectively deactivate the spoiler at all speeds.
Coding out all three height adjustments may be useful to those with aftermarket spoilers without
having to pull fuses.
Rear-End Electronics: Spoiler parameter – Extending 1 speed threshold = 80 {Default:
80} [This code is the speed that the spoiler lowers from the first extension position to the
default position]
Rear-End Electronics: Spoiler coding – Spoiler control, SportPlus = Yes {Default: No}
[Keep this code at no if you don’t have Sports Chrono or if want the Sports Chrono
operation of the spoiler to be the same as while in Normal and Sport Mode/Change to yes
if you want Sports Chrono operation of the spoiler to be based on the next two codes]
Rear-End Electronics: Spoiler coding – Sport Plus (combi) spoiler info active = Yes
{Default: No} [This code should be set the same as the code right above depending on
your preference for that code]
