Help to change USA code to Rest of the World (ROW)

[gorichville]

Hi,

I would like to know how to change the country code of USA to Rest of the World. My car came from California and shipped to the Philippines. It is a 2008 carrera s manual transmission. The car emission in California is very strict and lessens the car's performance. I tried to change the country code to Rest of the World but other areas of the car like the alarm and door lock don't work properly. Can someone please explain the proper way of changing the car's country code the right way.

Thank you!

My question is the opposite... I have an RoW model, that I would one day like to bring back to the USA... It might even end up in California... It sounds like it may be possible for Porsche to re-map the ECU to pass the strict SMOG test??? Or are there other issues at play here that make my plan unfeasable???

It appears from a quick look at the PET that RoW and USA 997-1's use the same catalytic converters, so I think it would be possible to remap the DME for the USA fuel map. (On the 996 they were different.)
