I’m 6’-3” tall and the seat doesn’t really go back far enough when the the comfort entry/exit is activated when I get in and out of my ‘15 991.1. It wasn’t really a problem but I’m trying to minimize the wear and tear on the seat bolsters. Is there a way to set the seat back further and set the memory so it always goes back to that position? I’ve gone through the owner’s manual carefully and can’t seem to find a way to change the settings.

Thank you,
Wayne

 

Others have used a seat memory setting as a quasi comfort setting.

 

Have you tried using Memory 1 as your driving position setting and Memory 2 as your entry/exit position? I believe this will work as long as you uncheck the comfort entry/exit box. I haven't tried this so not sure it will work, but worth a try as long as someone else doesn't use Memory 2. Hope it works.

 

Respect to OliverK68 as I believe he suggested this first.

 

I use a slight variation to the Memory 1/Memory 2 technique that others have described because I share the C4S with my wife. She is somewhat smaller in stature than I am so there is quite some difference in our respective driving positions. We came up with the following solution to setup our key fobs.

(1) While sitting in car with my key fob in hand and engine running, I setup all the adjustable driver settings according to my preferred driving position then saved them to the No. 1 memory slot. Then without changing any other settings, I adjusted the driver’s seat as far back and down as it would go and saved the settings to the Key memory slot.

(2) My wife followed the same procedure with her key fob using the No. 2 memory slot.

Now when I walk up to the car and open the door, the seat automatically moves all the way back and down to its extreme positions with no action on my part other than opening the door. This makes for easy entry. I then start the car and press and hold the Memory 1 button and the seat is driven up and forward to my preferred driving position. Once the seat stops moving, then I latch the seatbelt.

When I bring the car to a stop and turn-off the ignition and open the door, the seat automatically moves back but only an inch or two. Unfortunately, it does not reposition itself to the furthest-back/furthest-down location. I believe that this behaviour is intentional to protect the backseat passenger. To overcome this I sometimes move the seat back manually before shutting the engine off.

When my wife and I are driving together on a road trip, the person not driving must remember to place his/her key fob into a Faraday bag. If we do not do this then the Porsche Entry & Drive system becomes confused as to who is really driving the car and makes screwball adjustments.

 

Thank you for the recommendations. Part of me is happy that I’m not missing some simple and basic. I think I’ll follow the recommendations mentioned above.

 

Several threads on the topic if you search this forum, and here is one that I posted a while back: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1141...provement.html

 

This --^ is almost exactly what I do. The only difference is that I use the entry procedure in reverse for the exit procedure.

"Key" button stores exit/entry position
"1" is my driving position. "2" is my wife's on the 991TT and 95B-T with the reverse for her 981 (her 991S is "fully" manual).

Procedure:
Unlock car with my fob causing seat/wheel to move to "key" settings.
Press #1 to move to driving position.
When done driving, press "key" to move seat/wheel to exit position.

I devised this procedure because I often enter/exit with the engine running and thus comfort entry is useless.
