Product Description

The Softronic 981 Cayman Performance Software is a powerful ECU flash‑tuning upgrade designed for the Porsche 981 Cayman, Cayman S, and Cayman GTS (2013–2016) with the direct‑fuel‑injection (DFI) engines. This software replaces your factory ECU calibration via the OBD‑II port, unlocking enhanced horsepower, torque, throttle response, and overall responsiveness without changing physical hardware. Tuned for use on 93‑octane fuel, the calibration delivers smoother power delivery and more engaging acceleration throughout the rev range — all while retaining engine safety and drivability. The included software and OBD‑II cable allow for VIN‑specific flashing that’s easily reversible with the original backup file.

Fitment Notes

  • Compatible with Porsche 981 Cayman (2013+) equipped with the 2.7 L DFI engine.

  • Works on Porsche 981 Cayman S (3.4 L DFI) and 981 Cayman GTS (3.4 L DFI) within the same model years.

  • OBD‑II ECU flash — no ECU removal required; utilizes the diagnostic port for tuning.

  • Tuning is VIN‑locked to a single vehicle — reflashing recommended after major hardware changes.

Included

  • Softronic performance software file tailored to your 981 Cayman configuration.

  • OBD‑II flash cable for direct ECU read/write access.

  • Original ECU backup file to restore stock calibration if desired.
