Hey J, yes - pressing the "TC off" button (the small slidiing car symbol under SPORT PLUS button) for a few seconds, then a beep comes, and "PSM off" is showed in the right instrument display. I am sure this turns off both TC and stability system (anti-skid). It does however not turn off PTV, which is a bit annoying...

No, in a PDK car rev-matching is essential for the down-shifts, in any mode, so I would be extremely surprised if it was affected by turning off PSM.

Yes, 718 drivers, please verify this and let us know.
For what its worth, on my base 981 with sport chrono, it works the same way - disabling traction control in sport plus disables the rev matching.

Good to know. Now just waiting for some 718 owners to chime in to see if it's the same on their cars.

Nice! Thanks, Mike. Good to know there is a back-door entry. Will try that in spring. Still, disappointed at Porsche!! :-(
