2013 C4S. No switch. Take a ride, hit a corner hard, if the car stays flat you have PDCC.
PS - I'm doing something wrong cause I don't know where/how to look up my VIN using that link.....

That doesn't really mean anything. You still need to cross check your order/build with what actually shows up at the dealership, and make sure nothing was missed. It happens. For example, mine did not have the painted washer nozzles. Everyone missed it, Germany and the dealership during prep. Luckily, it was an easy fix.

I have a 2013 991S Cab with PDCC. I do not have a PDCC switch/button. Where someone above shows a PDCC button I have the Sport Suspension setting button.
It's easy to spot if you have PDCC, just look in behind the rear wheels and if you have it you'll note some mechanical arms in there that are the PDCC control arms.

It's not like the assembly guy throws a button on when he's in a good mood and doesn't when he's not. Ha ha.

Under what circumstances do cars have/don't have the button that have this feature? Seems a little bizarre to me. If that's true, there must be some explanation. I find it hard to believe.

PDCC continues to be misunderstood I think.
PDCC is always on. At some point (MY14?), Porsche added the letters PDCC to the sport plus button if the car is equipped with the option. But the function of that button is the same as the sport plus button without the PDCC letters. By depressing it, you are activating sport plus, not PDCC.

This is from the Porsche Good to Know app:
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) is a system for roll stabilization of the vehicle body when driving.
Driving comfort and driving safety are improved by active intervention of the anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles. Vehicle balance and agility are optimized.
No separate controls are available for the PDCC system.
When you select a chassis setup in Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) the PDCC system automatically activates the corresponding on-road driving program.
So there is no PDCC on and off switch, but it appears as though the roll stabilization program is modified based on the suspension setting. Makes sense.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their help!
My build sheet/VIN clearly stated that it has PDCC...the salesman said it should be indicated. I pointed him to this threat and as it is a 2013, it does have it, just no indicator.
Really want to thank everyone - this is a great forum + I look forward to contributing!

If they wanted to identify the cars with PDCC . . . which is always on with no switch, too bad they didn't put the PDCC letters on one of the extra switches. Would be much more impressive
