I would have loved to have this when i lived in sf.
Nothing like the smell of my improperly surfaced clutch spinning futilely on california street at a red light.
Ah to be young again.

Curious - why do you wish to disable?
I have it in my C-R and find it comes in handy at times....although sometimes it's holds a bit too much for my liking.
It's also in our Panamera GTS. You definitely have to goose the throttle to get the beast moving off the hill hold feature. I don't see the value in a PDK. My foot on the brake is the hill hold.

You got it! "...... sometimes it's holds a bit too much for my liking.....".
It engages the emergency brake on a hill. It takes more RPM when the clutch is popped to override and disengage the emergency brake. Gives you a little snap in the neck and the PSE roars. It is sometimes embarrassing. After 5 MT Porsches dating back to 1974, I know how to operate a clutch and accelerator on a hill without the car sliding back. Call me old school.

The point is that I eventually learned how it felt and became smooth with it and then viewed it as a feature.

No way to turn it off. I hate it too! After 35 years of driving manual shift Porsches I think I know how to move forward on a hill.
Just another example of Porsche moving away from the beautiful simplicity of the earlier 911's.

I'd need to re-read the manual again. But mine does not seem to engage hill hold very often. When it does, it works great. There are times that I think hill hold will kick in, but it doesn't. I know there is a very specific sequence to have hill hold become active. Maybe I'm not following that sequence, and that's the "work around".

In my experience, the hill hold function only engages when (1) the clutch pedal is down, (2) transmission in gear, (3) car is stopped with foot on the brake, and (4) car is on an incline. Take out any one of those from the equation avoids hill hold.
So if you come to a stop on a hill and want to avoid hill hold, keep the car in neutral until you take your foot off the brake. You will probably roll back a little depending on the incline, but you will get around hill hold.
Of course, if you only remove (1) from the equation, you run into a different problem that will engage the auto-start function, but hill hold will be off until all 4 conditions are present.

...but when you take your foot off the brake to activate the throttle, hill hold is engaged and you then must attack the throttle to disengage it.....

If I recall correctly, you reside in Florida.
You must have been on a road trip to find a hill that causes hill hold to engage.
While real men despise it, with a bit of practice it becomes a very useful feature.

Takes a little more coordination, but no hill hold.

I have auto start turned off plus I'm always in sport plus mode.
I never have the clutch to the floor held while also holding the break.
If I'm stopped I am off the clutch and in neutral. When I'm ready to go I press the clutch put in first and off I go.
