It's a real shame as it had access to all repair procedures, TSB's, recalls, ect.

Important information about how to use the system can be found in the FAQs.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Many of you new comers don't know that you can get access to all Porsche documents online as a pay-per-view account that you can subscribe to by setting up an account, then purchase blocks of time ie. $14 for 1 hour, $140 for 1 day, ect. up to 365 days for 7k. This system gives you access to a world of documents, pretty much every thing you want (except secure codes ect.) Here is a video a subscriber made that shows some of the document you can access and how to navigate the system. There is much more he didn't show, but will be enough to get you started and find what you need without wasting valuable time (that you pay for). If you know what you want, ie. how to remove and replace wheel bearing, you should be able to find the documents well within an hour. The system is called Porsche Piwis TSI and I think it will help many here with their DIY , and even diagnostics.

It's just time based now, so you can download as many documents as you want. This is all the info that is available to dealership technicians, except for for IPAS which has secure codes. Dr. h.c. Porschetech3
I used this a few months back. I had an electrical wiring issue and needed schematics -- 14 bucks and an hour later, had everything I needed. Well worth it to me!
Thanks for sharing

Almost used it awhile back but ended up finding what I needed in my antiquated POSES edition and generally get by with that and PDFs.
Have all the diagrams been upgraded for the 996??
Yes, the TSi system has the newest of all information, same thing the dealerships use. I don't think the 996 needed any upgrade, but any additions/corrections will be there.Your PIWIS has wiring diagrams in it also, albeit they depend on the software version as to how new.
I think the PIWIS TSI site has been moved, locked,disabled, something. unfortunately.
It's a real shame as it had access to all repair procedures, TSB's, recalls, ect. for just a simple registration, and purchase of a time block (1-2 hrs) and could download as many documents as you wanted.
If anyone still has access to this or similar Porsche Information Service, please post the requirement/procedures. I'm sure large Porsche Specialist Shops that have official PIWIS Hardware (leased), has a yearly lease,
I have stacks of Info I have printed off over the years, but have thrown away 10 times as much because it was easier to just look it up and print a new copy than to file/find an old copy I had printed off years earlier.
The TSI was deprecated and has since been replaced by the PCSS (Porsche Central Service System). The same process is needed to gain access, i.e. fill out a form submit to Porsche and they will validate and send you a login."Welcome to the new PCSS system for accessing technical service information.
PCSS (Porsche Central Service System; formerly TSI) is an application that provides access to technical information on this website for authorized companies within the meaning of Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation No. 1400/2002 or its successor regulations as well as Regulations EU 2018/858 and the similar country-specific RMI requirements. Important information about how to use the system can be found in the FAQs. These can be found in the menu at the top right."
Do you have access to PCSS?
The TSI system was available to anyone, looks like the requirements to access the PCSS system is much tighter as your wording says,"authorized companies"..and doesn't mention the cost..
No big surprise there�There is a method to the madness of the automobile companies. While they hide behind the guise of safety and efficiency, fuel economy, & ecological conservation, they�re slowly but surely removing the ability for us to fix our own vehicles�This is also a way for them to assure their dealers of a guaranteed revenue stream�
Was considering asking one of the local tuners if they wouldn't mind me signing up on PCSS using their company name.
I do give the local tuners business. And we partner anytime we work on my cars.
As long as the PDFs are never shared.
If Porsche doesn't loosen up on this a little, then the PDFs will be shared! No other possible outcome.
I do have all the PDFs BTW. Not willing to share at this time.
I just used my "business" email and had no issues. I am not sure how much digging they do to validate, but it took a few days and I got the welcome email. You can still purchase blocks of time as stated before.
