A person who has no idea of this option on a Porsche wouldn't be able to tell the difference. They'd be just as blown away in a non PDCC car.
Pretty much this—-^

Just look at sway bar end links, it will take all of 5 seconds to get down and take a look, and will immediately tell you if you have PDCC or not.

Mystery solved! The car definitely has PDCC and it was missing from the build sheet for some reason. I spoke to Trophy Performance in NV and they confirmed they had installed an aftermarket Porsche sport exhaust. Thanks for everyone’s advice and help :-)

In the meantime looking at this build sheet the options do not add up to 129,000, What do you think? I am now leaning that this car has had PDCC all along but the build sheet is inaccurate. unfortunately, the car is in the shop for PPF so I can't look at the wheels or the engine but I will know soon. But again do these options below add up to 129,000, please let me know.
the similar sheet for my old GT4 was also missing items.

The build sheet on the COA for my first 991 was incorrect as well - PCNA printed me a new one.

In the final episode of "Do I have PDCC?" and in unexpected turn of events I can say I was wrong and the car does NOT have PDCC. The build sheet is unfortunately correct. What happened was, the wrong button was installed when the car was retrofitted for sport exhaust system. I rushed to conclusions earlier based on my PPF installer initial glance at the sway bar and links. The car was checked at my local Porsche dealer. Thanks again for all of you!

If people ask, tell them that button is for the Porsche Dynamic Carbon Control.

Sounds like a discount should be in the works from the dealer?

At least you have the button that’s the most important thing! 😊

Just a guess.

When you need a single nw switch, the only way Porsche sells them is an entire new assembly with ALL of the switches that are installed and the dealer configures to do what the picture on the button states.

Neither does my 2012 with PDCC. They must have changed the button in later years. What about '13, '14 cars?

^^^ this discussion keeps coming up. The button changed in 2014 to show the PDCC letters, I believe. It is meaningless bc PDCC is always on. Pressing the shock absorber button just means it is in a more active setting
