Default Porsche Blank Button Anxiety Syndrome - PBBAS

As a .2 owner I have many blank buttons on the center console. This was compounded further over the .1 by the mode **** on the wheel replacing the sport and sport plus buttons. When I drive my Macan I am taunted by its huge array.
I saw a must-have button recently on maybe a GT3RS - pit lane speed limit, how cool is that? (neighborhood speed limit maybe?) The front axle lift would be another.

So can you actually populate the vacant spots fully?

Factoid - Koumpounophobia is the fear of buttons (I think buttonphobia would be easier to remember)

It is an oddly efficient, both in reusability across multiple trim / option levels and in coaxing folks to add many more options to fill those buttons up... those Porsche folks are good at engineering and marketing.

Love be having only four filled on my base. So simple, and yet still so fast!

The blank buttons do mask fingerprints better.

I'm a button pusher. I like having buttons and I also want to fill up the console. I have a fear of missing out.....whatever fear that is.

Expensive buttons though.

Q - "Now, this I'm particularly proud of - behind the headlights, stinger missiles!"
Bond - "Excellent, just the thing for unwinding after a rough day at the office."
Q - "Need I remind you, 007, that you have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws."

Need a button that sets fire to a pile of Benjamins after servicing the car at a Porsche dealer.

Hahaha. Thanks OP, got a good laugh out of reading the thread. Thought the same thing when I first sat in a 991
