Speed limit display and electric steering column adjustment - victims of chip shortag
#16
Memory 18 way seats come with the electronic steering column adjustment. It was on the build configurator for 2021 and 2022. That was one of the reasons why I added the $3000 18 way seat option to my 2022 build configuration.

Dr.Bill, check out this thread. The 992 Turbo people were informed by their dealers that manual steering column adjustment was a temporary solution to computer chip shortages. They have all been promised retrofit of the powered steering column adjustment when the parts become available again.
As far as the speed limit display, I believe this is linked to satnav. Do you have GPS navigation specced and installed on your car?

Since our cars don't have the option for the front camera at the top of the windshield used for lane keeping etc, the only source for speed limit information would be from the navigation system (and unfortunately this can get stale).
As Antipodean says above, without nav you won't get the speed display option.

Hi,
I just picked up a new 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0, probably one of the last 2021 models.
I noticed it does not display the speed limit in the multifuction display.
I do have the entry & drive option and I also noticed the steering column adjustment is manual. On our 981 Boxster GTS (also with entry & drive) it has the electric steering column adjustment. With the 981, the seat and steering column both move back upon vehicle exit.
Are these missing features due to the chip shortage? Or a change in options?
Thanks for any insight!
The manual is rather generic and is of no help. 2021 configurator is no longer active, so I can't see what options it should have had.

There are the "manual" speed limit warnings you can set in the "Limits" section of the MFD, if you want to warn yourself of certain fixed speeds... but I don't think that is what you were asking about.

So when I check 2023 configurator the memory package does not mention steering column adjustement. I don't remember what it was in 2022 config when I ordered my BGTS 4.0.
It sounds like power steering column adjustment is a history?

The speed limit feature is linked to navigation and can be toggled on/off in the option menu.
Open Nav and then press the option button. From memory, I think it’s under the set map selection. Scroll down and there is a speed limit check box.

Yes, I always select that option when building my cars.

So apparently 992 deliveries are coming now randomly with/without power steering column:

992s delivered in the latter part of last year came with manual column. Porsche originally promised to retrofit them later, but apparently now reneged on that promise: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1296...djustment.html
Anyone with a recent GTS 4.0 delivery with 18-way sofas can report what type of steering column controls they have?
