Two weeks to get a replacement console isn't all that bad.
The console supplier is shipping his production primarily to Stuttgart at this point. Since the car is still in production, service kits of all types will be a somewhat hard to acquire, as in they are not in stock in great numbers.
If it could be done, the dealer should remove a similar console from an in-stock new car and install it in the OP's car.

Well guess who now has a shiny new sport PDK button? Brought car in this am and all done by 1:00. Car drives awesome and button works perfectly. Dealer said they were shipped new console with every button for all options and they used only ones for options I have and programmed ECU.

You should be fine only two cars so far have had it missed. But that is two more than there should from my viewpoint.

Glad it has worked out. Hopefully you'll get some consideration for the misstep.

Would be interesting to see a full console with no button blank... What are all the others?

Glad you got it resolved. Interesting that your dealer apparently placed the buttons in different positions than where they are from the factory. The standard configuration is as shown below.

Not that it matters. And maybe your car will be worth more as a one of a kind.

Another option not on the configurator. :-(
Maybe Barbara B. From Porsche exclusive can accommodate.
Prob just 918 buyers opting for the RS.

Slightly off topic, but does the suspension button actually do anything? I didn't think there a dynamic suspension in the gt3 like the pdcc. Is that just PASM?
