Default What are all the console switches?

Just curious, if you had a full complement of switches, what would they be?

There are 6 switch blanks on the console around the shifter, on my car I have 3.

Left to right they are:

Sunroof - Mirrors - Locks

One of the other ones is the rear wiper, what are the other two? I always assumed they were for seat heaters but I now know those are on the seats themselves.

Inquiring minds want to know and bonus points for anyone with a picture of all six switches in place!

Rear wiper yes, rear defroster no, it's on the dash.

You guys are helpful...

Went and looked on PET, looks like there are only 5:

Sunroof - Mirror - Locks - Rear Wiper - Fader

Maybe the mystery missing 6th was the "Real Porsche" button. Doh!

Good thinking to check Euro PET.

Excellent guess on rear foglight but it looks like that switch is mounted on the dash, to the left of the steering wheel, next to the dash light dimmer and the front fog lights.

I only see five switches on the console on the euro PET as well...

OK, my guess would be seat heat future plan, that never materialized before the line was discontinued... it would be in line with the Germans to put in a hole for an option they hadn't gotten fully sorted out yet...

Seat heater switch is on the seat itself. I agree though that it was likely for some future plan, maybe the E85 fuel map switch, lol.

Yeah, Sport Plus, just like a 997. Those Germans, they plan head for everything!
