Lucky you, I get the yellow dash icon if I push the button in non-sport modes, as if something like engine temperature or voltage is keeping it from stopping!

It connects to my 991.2 successfully and runs diagnostics successfully, so at least as far as that is concerned, it works. As to adaptations and such - I have not tried it at all. I need to ping the people who sold it to me and ask them if (a) I can take it out of development mode, and (b) I can connect it to a network and get updates downloaded online.
Are you still happy with your purchase, I see your comments about one of the bootable version being German, but one not? Can you select English in the menu to change the language?

I see they now offer later versions of software, did you determine what it costs to upgrade through them?

Cheers!

Isn't that a calculation of engine speed vs wheel speed to determine gear, and not a sensor within each gear gate? If so, then your wish isn't possible.

edit- but oh wait, if auto rev matching is possible, then this would be too. hmm.

it's possible because some of them have it i just don't know if 1) it's possible with a 2012.5 2) it's possible without sports chrono. (i'd but the laptop just for this if i knew it would work, honestly)
