I didn't think you could activate Sport Plus and Launch Control on a Macan for that kind of money—it usually costs several times more at the dealership. Did you notice a noticeable difference in pedal response and shifting after activating it? I recently tested something similar on mine, and the effect is really noticeable, especially when starting off. Great video, subscribed!

First, I’m not sure where that quote in your post that allegedly came from me actually comes from. It seems the type of advertisement I never do…

But to answer your question, this hack basically activates the OEM Sport+ feature in the Macan. There’s nothing different than with a Macan that comes with Sport+ enabled from factory. Same benefits. Basically power map, throttle and PDK response is changed to improve performance.

As best I can tell, that whole post was a clever attempt to get a spam link on the site -- the link was tucked into a fake 'quote' with a legitimate looking question under it -- all to avoid detection. Almost got away with it too. Serves me right for approving that account's first post on my phone in the car... I've deleted all references to the spam and banned the account that posted it. Carry on. :)

Thanks for taking care of this. That was very odd. I didn’t realize it was his first post.
