Wow, is this the case? I haven't tested it out, but hope to do so this coming spring/summer. If so, that's impressive.

THis is a great thread, having just bought my 991.1 a few months ago I learned a few great things.

Wonder if it does that only if *** is enabled. I stalled my ‘14 once and had to hit the key to restart. I always have *** disabled.

My car is a “Sunday driver” so it rarely gets driven in rain. I saw the wipers twitch unexpectedly once. I was like “WTF was that?” Worried that I had some electrical gremlin.

I was able to turn emergency flashing braking on with some coding on my 991.1 US car, didn't know about the hazards at a stop...

Looking for a fun fact answer. Anyone know if with the Entry&Drive if you get out of the car (with the key) and hit the lock button, if it will actually lock the car while it's still running?

Couldn't really tell because I did have the key in my pocket when I went back to the car to open the door.

G36 (Glock36 .45) Is an almost perfect fit for the door pocket.

That’s where I keep my Sig P365XL with an extra mag. Fits perfect and discreet.

That is on purpose and programmed in the 991 to keep the whiper rubber elastic. Don't worry.

btw glad i can keep other stuff than a gun in my side pocket. Do not envy you Americans on that. Love my life without guns.

@Schorsch Yes, your beautiful, gun free utopia.... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64910415 Glad these things only happen in 'Merica and never anywhere else...oh wait this was just a few days ago.
I hope you feel safe, way to bring politics into a fun thread.,
