Default Can I turn off the sport chrono clock ?

I have a Cayman T which is a lot like the GTS. Both have a sport chrono clock.
i don’t like the reflection in the windshield. Is it possible to turn it off so it looks dark. Of course I can dim the whole cabin, but can I stop it and make it totally dark ?

I also don’t like the chrome bezel a it’s very reflective in the windshield.

Almost ready to cover it with a 2 1/2” lens cap. Does anyone make something to cover it ?

Thanks

how are you enjoying the T? I was seriously considering it before I totally scored with my 4.0 allocation.

I’m loving my T with the PDK......
SO much so that I’m trading my base manual 2018 718 for a manual T today, and my second T will have the LED headlights !
I think my PDK T that I have had for two months has stronger headlights than my base 718 which also had the base headlights. I’m probably fooling myself when I think that maybe the base 2020 headlights have maybe stock the 35W bulbs and ballasts from the PDLS ? Or maybe it’s the fact that the T is lower so he headlights throw farther.

Can’t wait to drive the 200 miles today and pick up my second T !

So what if I’m broke when I’m 75 years old......living life now.........

Search this forum on bezel and you will find some possible solutions, but a couple of us are working on options such as a solid, clip-on cover for night driving to block the windshield reflection. Here is one though, and see post #39 for a link to another site with another option:
