Did anyone ever get pricing on having just the clock part installed? I can't seem to find this anywhere online.

It's extremely cheap when compared to the cost of buying any seats from the factory for retrofit!

The $1800 was a hard pill to swallow. I wasn't going to order it either but few people changed my mind saying its a track car and should have this option. Who knows. The dash will be easier to clean.

+1 If you have a PDK, the sport, sport plus, and launch control programs are worth it.


But if you want to save some money and you want a dash clock, you could always do something like this:

In a GT3 the only thing SC gets you is a clock and the track software which is of questionable value. No change to PDK programming and all GT3s have launch control.

Keen to hear more about this.. are you able to share more details on who, what, where and how?

I am AU based and would be keen to follow this path with a 991 GT3 that currently is absent of Chrono.

Appreciate any info you can share.

Cheers,

Are you 100% positive on this? I hate to question you but I have heard so many different answers. I am trying to purchase a 2016 GT3 RS and it does not have sports chrono... I really want launch control though. LC is standard on all GT3's?

Yes. Launch control is standard on all GT3s and GT3 RSs.

Did anyone get an answer on retrofitting a clock? I wonder if there is a wiring harness under the dummy dash cover for those that don’t have sc. I would like to put the clock in for simply aesthetic reasons. Don’t care about the timing or chrono features

Yes, it's called trading in for a GT3 with sports chrono.

I think what is being asked (and not answered) is — Can you swap the Chrono face and some hardware for the ‘newer 991-style’ Chrono which KEEPS TIME? I just purchased a used 997.2 tts and it does bother me that the Chrono is in the off mode at all times Unless I activate the sport Chrono function which - unless you are at the track - is redundant w/the Trip ‘since’ function. I have a 991S w/sport Chrono, and what’s nice is that the wart on the dash serves a purpose - another clock that’s easier for me to locate than looking down and finding the digital one. Net - I would also like to change out the face and have a functioning clock on my dash... Can someone please post the specific links to the parts and hardware required to accomplish this end ...and not bugger up the forum w/subjective opinions?

I'll bet it has a CAN bus connected port making your life now involve a PIWIS at the dealer

It does not have the plug. I removed mine and checked.
nerve wrecking to remove cover.
