This system is lease only; it was never offered for sale; first year's lease outlay is $20,000 for a legitimate system.

You are correct, without a network connection the systems cannot be updated. With that being said, piwis ii received support through 2018 so I think it's safe to say that any updates porsche wanted to push out for 986s or 987s would have been distributed by then. The software (at least for piwis ii v18.1) does not require network connectivity for full functionality though, so long as the tester is imprinted.
