The DareDevil, err, really? if you haven't seen it, where did you hear that. That's the only thing that I've heard so far that makes even a bit of sense, but where is the plug to connect a trailer (if you really want to pull a trailer with a 944)
Its in the back. My quick glance is that it Y's in with the harness for the brake lights etc. Ill try it out tonight.

My info comes from the user manual. See Brian's picture above ^

The 928 S I had for the weekend had that green double arrow for either direction turn signal when activated.

cool to know. I would have geussed that it illuminates on euro cars when they leave the side indicator on for parking. (you know, when one signal light stays on so cars see you when your parked on the side of the road.
Obviously I'd be wrong, but it would have been a good geuss. Could have even turned into "rennlist fact"!

Actually, the regular indicator light comes on when you leave the indicator on for parking. It works on ROW cars as well as Euro spec.

is it rare for the markers to stay on? mine behaves like the euros, I just figured they all did that.

That second indicator arrow is used when you have a trailer hooked up. It just tells you that the trailer lights are indeed flashing.
I've seen guys towing those cute little wheel-holder trailers to the track behind their 944s.

Anything's possible!
