Trying to set the individual mode on my car (sport Chrono) so that Individual always has sport exhaust on and auto-stop off. I can accomplish this without issue under "vehicle">"settings", but have not figured how to save the settings so that each time I use the rig they are saved. The individual key setting help in the manual only seems to address ergonomic settings (which I have successfully set and saved), but not the Individual mode. Is what I want to do possible and if so how? THANKS for the help in advance.
Once you set your settings, try pressing save on the left side door and then press key. That locked them in for me. Maybe I was lucky. Do just one and see how it goes.

Solved; I was setting the key with the door, but needed to press the key as well.
can explain exactly what you did here. Trying to do the same.
l’ll try. The OP was attempting to change a digital setting for his Porsche. He listed what that was in his original brief. After many hours of experimentation, I found that the number setting (1 or 2) sets some things, like seats and mirrors but not others such as displayed settings such as the 4 lines, header and footer. I’m speaking to the second display from the right. I found that one has to press “Set” and then “Key” to store those. So when you unlock the car with the key (that is important) the electronics (even the climate control it seems) follows that particular key. When you press Set then Key, a message pops on that display saying settings stored, more or less.
I’m not sure why the designers followed this logic. You figure everything would be set to 1 or 2 along with the key. Since the key plays such an integral function, the car only changes its settings when unlocked (I think - need to test.) So if the car is in the garage unlocked, it doesn’t change. My Subaru works sort of the same way.
I would have programmed the electronics to align as soon as the key is turned on and maybe it does. But the important thing here, and I believe the gist of your question, is that the settings are stored to the key identification.

This.
...and thanks rOOt61, I never would have figured your approach even after a decent search/review of the manual.
One other thing regarding the seat/steering wheel egos set to each key that I discovered. If you close the door, one must hold the key setting number while the Argos adjust. If you push the button while the door is still open, you need only push and release for all the settings to adjust which is much easier in my experience. Not sure why the door has to be open, but...
Another example of how ridiculous the profiling is on Porsches. Everyone else seems to get it right, but Porsche has this insane idea that your settings should be situationally updated and bound to the specific key. Ugh!

I think the system logic there, is:
A) if the door is open, you are probably stopped, so you want your ergos to adjust just by pressing a button
otherwise
B) if the door is closed, you might be moving, so you don't want to accidentally change your ergo settings at the touch of a button - which is why they force you to hold it down
THen again, the Germans invented mayonnaise, so who knows what they're really thinking

Probably correct, but why not let the transmission being engaged be the rate limiting factor like in every other car I have? What if it's raining? 1st world problems, but just weird to me.
