It's a Lebaron. And, John Voight was the prior owner.

But my Evoque turbo diesel is totally ignored for some reason.

On the rare occasion you are listening to recorded media (music or audiobook) you can hold down the left or right arrow (bottom left area of the controls) in order to rewind or fast-forward intra-track. A single push of those same buttons returns to the beginning of, or advances to the next track.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, its probably in the manual. I skipped that part!

The PCM restarts on its own sometimes. Very unstable OS, must be Android. :/

OEM wheel offset of 5-lug GTS and CL GTS are different. My 5-lug GTS comes with 20x8.5 ET51 and 20x11 ET52. 5mm spacers front and rear.

CL GTS is 20x9 ET51 and 20x11.5 ET48

I have owned a 2014 Cayenne for over 3 years and 50k miles, and now owned my 991 for 2 months and never, not once, has the PCM restarted.

This has been fixed with a SW update.

Finally figured out how to turn on the rear fog light, or shall I say light as only the left tail light will get brighter. Put the switch in low beam, then pull the ****. Voila, you can now annoy traffic behind you with one ridiculously bright tail light.

Most German cars have that feature, no? Anyway, I think a lot of people just wanted to turn on the front fog light (for no reason) and didn't know it makes one taillight goes brighter.

Not in the US, don't think it's USDOT compliant. I'm surprise the US DOT didn't catch it for the 991. On BMWs, you'll have to code the car and physically modify the light switch for this feature to work.

The rear fog light has come standard on US spec Porsches for a while...our 2008 Cayman has it.

On my 2015 C2S, looking at the screen to the right of the Tachometer, pressing the Source button causes whatever is displayed on the upper part of that screen to disappear and an input source is displayed. With each subsequent push of the Source button a new source appears. In other words, it scrolls with each button press. This is a bit of a safety feature as it keeps your eyes more in line with the windscreen that looking at the PCM screen. This also works on my 2016 Macan S but I am told it does not work on the 2017 Macan, so it is doubtful that it works on the 991.2.
