I didn't realize this was an option. What is it called? I have it on my car. Where does it get the info from? Also, a few times it has been wrong.

How about... if you open the drivers door whilst in gear (and stationary) in a 991.2 PDK, the handbrake is automatically deployed.

On my 991.2 with SC, SPASM, and sunroof often tilted up, but not at highway speeds, i only drive in Sport or Sport+, and i see two different rear spoiler tilts out my rear view mirror, but not sure what determines which tilt up it selects or when...

I'll have to try this in my 991.1. I wish there was a setting that would automatically deeply e-brake once car was turned off and put in gear. My A6 does that and it's a nice feature.

On my T, if you have your seat belt on, foot on the clutch, car in 1st gear, and then let off the clutch, it will take the e-brake off. Really like this feature.

Never heard of an automatic setting though, but this would be nice - unless you had been on track, then it could be really bad.

No. He means the sunroof tilts up less in back, when you press the center button to tilt it open.

Mirror tilt: You can turn on mirror tilt in the settings so that one outside mirror tilts down when shifting into reverse. This allows watching a curb on one side when backing into a parking place. Or maybe you want to watch your rear fender when backing into a tight garage. On the door there are left and right mirror adjustment buttons. When driving, whichever mirror (left or right) button has the red indicator light on will be the mirror that dips when in reverse. So, if backing into a parking space with curbing on the left, you need to press that mirror button to see the curb. This helps you get closer to the curb without scraping a wheel. When you shift to 1st gear to exit the parking space, the mirror tilted downward and inward should automatically tilt back up to your normal driving setting.
