Feature coding?

On mine, the climate settings can be saved to memory (1, 2 and/or Key). I like starting the car without the load of the A/C.
The radio is a frustrating one. When I remember, I hit the source button and select AUX (I don't have anything connected to it) before shutting the engine off. If I don't, the radio comes on the next time; even if I was listening to music via Bluetooth when I shut it off.

To avoid having the radio turn on every time you start the car hold the on/off button down for at least 5 seconds before turning the car off. The next time you start it up the radio will be off. That works for 2016 models and earlier. Don't know if the same applies to the new PCM and ApplePlay.

I find it interesting that my $35K 2011 Honda Pilot has this capability but not in our $100+K 991.
This is just a s/w coding that would not add any weight and with a minimal s/w programming cost but I'm sure Porsche has some rational reason not to add it.

Smarttop allows you to do this on a cabriolet or targa. I think coupe owners are out of luck.

UPDATE:
I was able to have my DEALER enable some features to my 2017 911 S. Windows will now go down with unlock if I hold it. My glass roof will open too!
I got a couple other things programmed the way I wanted too.
But they could NOT figure out how to get the MPH LIMIT off the PCM and on the MFD. They said it was "enabled" to do so, but it has not shown up on the MFD yet.
Just thought I would let you guys know the 2117 911's CAN get windows DOWN and glass top open with unlock if you want. They can remove a lot of NAGs too. Some they might not want too, but they might if you ask nicely...
Tipping new service reps 20 bucks the second I meet them has always served me well. Today, I got exactly what I wanted and it didnt cost me a dime, other than the 20 bucks I tipped.

I have several BMW's that I've changed all kinds of stuff on because the s/w for doing it is generally available. I wish someone would find a similar application for us to use on the Porsches.
