It’s the most annoying thing when washing your car. Don’t leave your keys in your pocket ever! Haha

I recommend the same movement as in the videos here but with the back of your hand (fingers). Most the time, just the hair on your hand will activate it but even if you touch it a bit, you will rarely if ever get a smudge. Use the back of the hand method and get close to 100% success with a lower chance of smudges.

1. i do have entry & drive option.

2. Tried fingers, palm, back of hand, foot, butt, nothing. I asked my SA and he said that is not a feature of entry & drive...at least not that he is aware of

That is incorrect. Look at the video on Porsche Good to Know app and show it to your SA!

There is definitely a sweet spot. I use this quite frequently. I never actually touch the hood, just wave slowly below the emblem. Sometimes I get it quicker than other times.

Wait, are people touching the hood to make this work? It's several inches in front of the hood..

And this shocks you how? I’ve never dealt with car salesman that actually knew what he was supposed to know about his product. I mean, if you can’t get excited about selling a Porsche, then go sell shower curtain rings.
