The BOSCH KTS 550's firmware are all over the internet for download these days. Porsche PIWIS I, you can also get firmware for virtually any cars also, not only for your Porsche.

With that amount of dosh planned, you might as well buy one that actually "re-program" your car's features (dealer's tools). New keys, cams, timings, etc etc...

With a little EN-RU translation grease, the KTS's firmware for "ALL" cars can be download onto a 20gig 2.5" HDD overnight. Includes PIWIS I. (English, French, Japanese, Chinese, many more)
