Default 991.2 Can I keep spoiler closed with individual setting?

Hi, I want to keep my spoiler down in local driving (DSC V3 on, Sport on, Exhaust on but spoiler down) but when I setup individual setting on my steering wheel, it does not stay down when I go over 60 mph.
Maybe this is a dumb question but Is there any way to keep spoiler down with individual setting? Thanks in advance!

No.

It is deployed for stability, which translates to safety. It is also deployed for cooling, which can happen as low as 25 or 30 mph.

Thanks for the info.
Yeah, I will not want to keep spoiler down in highway driving. I remember the original TT news back in the days flying off at autobahn with no spoiler. Then they made mandatory spoiler in their design for TT.
But I was hoping to keep it down in local drivings but I guess no option for me. Thanks!

I owned one of very first US Audi TTs (2000) and loved it. The recall included the spoiler and an anti-sway bar. We had the bar installed, but my wife wanted to keep the spoiler delete, so there is still a TT running here without a spoiler

If you install this, it will remember your settings as intended.

It will still deploy spoiler. I think spoiler button only works to manually deploy, no way to deactivate, no?

Not sure if I understood you.

You want the spoiler to be deployed at all times, yes? If so, the T-Design9 Memory Module will remember that. Once you hit "manual deploy" button, it will stay that way.

Where did you get the ducktail? Did you manage to get it work?
any pic?

will it overheat the engine or turbo if you have a fixed ducktail for 991.2?

No, I want to keep spoiler closed when I'm driving local.

Send an enquiry to Vlad Info@T-Design9.com on whether that is possible. T-Design9 is also a RL sponsor.

Doesn't the spoiler deploy at 75mph (under most conditions unless very hot)?

Thanks, I will ask him. I do want my spoiler to be up in highway driving for safety and cooling but for local driving, I really want to keep spoiler down. I hope Vlad can do some magic.

I can't stress enough that the wing is deployed not only for stability, but also to assist with engine cooling. It's going to open on warm days at 30mph, which is your around town scenario when you need the cooling the most.

This, may be the reason why I wouldn't mess around with this.

Thanks. I only thought about stability, not cooling. I guess I shouldn't even think about it.
