991 MT Upshift Arrow
Hello,
in my new 2014 911-50 with the 7-speed manual, I cannot disable the upshift arrow, even in Sport mode (I don't have Sport Chrono so I can't talk about Sport Plus).
It was possible on the 2012 991 (also MT) that I had before via the PCM Menu.
Does anybody know if this is possible for the customer or maybe via the dealer?
Thanks for advice.

Seems that on the 2014s, you no longer can disable the arrow, even in Sport Mode.

Completely unacceptable
There has to be a way to turn it off. I haven't received my car yet, but that would be a major annoyance. If I want to shift to save fuel I'll do it. If I want to rev the engine to redline I'll do it. It's my car and I'll shift when I want to shift. I don't need a nanny computer suggesting shift points.
Is there a way to contact Porsche to ask about this?

I don't comment on PDK complaint threads. I figure the people driving automatic sports cars must have some kind of physical issue (such as bad knees) that keeps them from enjoying the manual, they have a long traffic filled commute or they have to lone the car to someone who can only drive an automatic. In any case, we've all worked hard and saved to buy our vehicles and I feel strongly you should be able to enjoy driving it the way you want (even PDK owners).
It really bothers me that Porsche would go out of their way to put a little annoying indicator in your face when you're trying to enjoy the car you've worked so hard to get. The fact that you used to be able to remove it and can't makes it even worse. I think if they want to put annoying "features" you should be able to decide whether they're on or off (like the auto stop start).
