Brilliant forum. I've just read all 207 fantastic contributions, learnt so much. I've got electric mirrors which retract when you lock/unlock the car. I also like to 'down' the passenger side when parallel parking against a kerb. But I can't get my head round how to get them back afterwards to their original setting. Can someone talk me through the moves. Can you preset on the door memory pad, 1, 2 or key, to quickly revert to normal? I seem to have to reset mine every time. Thanks.

Wow, these are amazing. Tons of stuff I never knew but are they all true? For example, I can't see the rear wing when it's up in my mirrors (991.1S) is that only on the 4S?

Fun fact: 2015 991.1 C2S (Aussie spec) - under the arm rest between the two seats - on the fore side right by the clip - there is a cut out that PERFECTLY fits a credit card - flush.
I discovered it by accident and now keep my car park pass card safely positioned there all the time - expect it would work for a credit card also!

You can only see the spoiler up if you have Sport PASM. The aerodynamics are a little different with the front spoiler lip, so the rear wing goes up a bit further, allowing you to just barely see it in the rear view mirror.

I see the spoiler go up and down in my 2012.5 C2S (w SPASM). It goes up to its first position at 80 mph and to its 2nd position (another couple of inches) if I pop or open the sunroof.

Ahh, I don't have SPASM. Maybe that's the difference, or I need to adjust my mirrors.

If your car is equipped with Aerokit Cup the sunroof module is different and allows less tilt than cars equipped without Aerokit, for aerodynamic reasons. Germans and their attention to detail...

you mean the mirrors can be less tilt? I also have 2014 C4S aero cup kit and sunroof from the factory, I would like to learn more!

You can also see the spoiler up on non-Sport PASM cars if equipped with a sunroof, and it's opened, and the car hits 81 MPH.

this may have been addressed... non sport chrono cars have pseudo launch control that works almost the same as it does on the SC cars.
Sport mode, brake on, gas floored. transmission disengages, car revs and holds, release brake and boom. LC.
