Agreed Porsche should have an expert GT3 person to deal with this issue. A bit disappointed with Porsche right now.

PDK Sport button is clearly listed as standard feature for GT3 on porsche website. Show them that.

From http://www.porsche.com/international...turesandspecs/ (1st line under the "Chassis" section):

7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with short gear ratios, GT3-specific sports setup and PDK SPORT’ button S

My 15 has the button and I didn't order SC. Smarty Cam is a much better deal for less money.

As I recall this is the same dealer that said each wiring harness was custom made for the individual car.

That is B***S***. I recently took delivery of a MY 2015 without sport Chronos and I have the button. This is just PCA being in deniable of the issue. Keep pushing eventually you will talk to someone at PCA that is knowledgable.

Your dealer is completely FOS. I hope you are dealing with the GM instead of the sales schmuck....
Make noise, rattle cages !!!!

I really appreciate it!
It seems to me that Nancy needs some serious training. The fact she does not know what is standard feature on a Porsche car, she is not qualified to do her job. To me this is a dealer problem before it is manufacturer issue. Mistakes happen in manufacturing world, but if you have experienced educated people, and especially at the distribution level, problems are resolved promptly and quickly. As I said in earlier posts, Porsche needs to chose their dealers carefully, and make sure they are qualified to sell, and maintain their cars. It really pays to buy your car from a good dealer. Mark

What a bunch of baloney. This is soooooooo typical. You have a question and talk to the SA, then talk to the service advisor, then talk to PCNA and you get different answers from everyone. Nobody seems to really know their product. When I configured my GT3 I did not want the "wart" on the roof. I talked to all of those sources and got a different, and wrong, answer from each of them. I was only really able to sort it out by reading this forum. This forum has helped so much in my final order from "wart" to extended leather dash, bucket seats, lift, SC, etc.

To tell you you don't have the PDK-S button because you don't have SC.............Please!

Nancy would be better off at a VW dealer.

Your dealer is full of ----, read page 132 of the 2015 owner's manual.

What a load of crock! I can't believe PCNA is saying that to the dealer. If that were the case, the dealer should know what comes standard on the GT3 and what sport chrono includes, and correct their PCNA contact. The dealer is BS'ing you. I would contact PCNA direct. No hesitation.

BTW, like others on this thread, I do not have SC and yet have the button!

Tell your GM you want to meet with the area PCNA rep. They don't like it because it works against their Premier status. You need to escalate this above the dealer, it is ridiculous.

I'm guessing they will come around and admit their mistake.
