All we talk about is how much we value driver engagement, but then we complain endlessly about having to press a single button as part of the startup sequence. It seems odd to me that this is so aggravating to folks.

I'm sure we all have a startup sequence - which may include pushing the Auto Stop button, pushing the seat heater button 3 times (!), perhaps switching to a preferred driving mode, putting the car in gear, releasing the parking brake etc.

To me, having a start up sequence is part of the enjoyment of getting ready to drive. I'd be a lot more bothered if I had to do this in an appliance like an SUV.

The way I see it - my Porsche sports car should be perfect. If it's not, and I can fix it - I do. A/S/S was invented to satisfy EPA ratings which has nothing to do with driving enjoyment. They didn't make it to save the gas... It saves maybe an ounze a year. It puts excessive wear and tear on the engine and parts. So ife there is a way to get rid of these abomination - I will. And I did. And now we helping others do the right thing

Yes it just one press of a button. If you remember it. Is it difficult? No. Should we have to do it in a perfect world? No. So by defeating a/s/s we make world a little bit more perfect

Oh, and Memory Module for SC **** on steering wheel is coming in a week or so. Actually the first modules already went to the customers on the waiting list and so we were out of stock immediately. And now waiting for next batch to come from the factory. Thank God the factory is in Texas, not China...

A PIWIS in developer mode can permanently disable start stop

(Shrug) Enjoy your six-figure Skinner box. Some people prefer a car that does what they tell it to do, and not the other way around.

Yes, which is like using a nuke to take out the hornet nest in your back yard. And it still won't do the right thing, which is to remember the settings between drive cycles. The T-Design module is a good solution for that.

I don't want to worry about the paint wearing off my SC Mode switch so count me in.

t-design

Yes, that blue paint is so cool!

The dreaded ABKO campaign for the Porsche Panamera has put the stop start on permanently and turned off the exhaust controls as well. Pretty upset and looking for anyone with knowledge on how to cheat the change

Noah Fect

Wow, after Googling that, it looks like PSE no longer works in the UK?

In the US, that'd be worth a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

amet

when you say permanently, do you mean permanently on start and there is no way to disable it using the button?

Somebody should try just drilling a hole down thru it. That might fix it. It is a PITA Greenie eco button. I am never buying a Porsche to be 🍀 or to save the 🌍
it needs a delete option in the Configurator if the Greenie ****'s say Porsche must offer it.
ABKO sounds like *****. What is it?

Rod Robertson

Yes, the stop/start functionality is always on and they have taken the button away so you can not turn it off

Noah Fect

Literally removed the button from the console?

And the PSE button?

Rod Robertson

In the 971, it is a software (virtual) button

WTF is abco?
