Yes! Very annoying. I set the brightness on high, but I still can’t read the time at night. I posted earlier about how the redline on the tach is also invisible (literally; it’s not just dim, it disappears) at night. And the two outer gauges are just completely obscured all the time. The usability of the 992 interior is just a mess in general, especially in comparison to the wonderful setup in my Spyder. The 992 interior designers evidently have degrees in fine art but have never driven a car before.

And the PCM can only display time OR temperature (on my Spyder, I can display both) I have mine set on exterior temp, so the only clock I have is the subsecond clock.

You don't have a clock on the left side gauge?

Denny Swift

Ha! I can’t see that gauge. It’s 100% blocked by the steering wheel. I literally have to put my head against the side window to see that. And yes, I’ve tried adjusting the seat and steering wheel.

That must be terrible.

Nobody should have any trouble knowing the time in the 992. It is glaring in at least 3 spots sometimes 4 if CarPlay is on. Gauge, sport chrono, radio, and CarPlay. If you have a 22 model set the gauges to minimal view and you can see time and temp clear without moving your head.

I agree but I did specifically purchase a clock as an option so I expect it to be able to be read during nite time driving.

I look at the Porsche design clock as purely ornamental. I still wish I had it because it is a better looking clock than standard sport chrono, but reading the gauge and radio is still quicker and easier and I do not use the sport chrono clock for anything.

You should have asked for a watch with your ADM...

Terrible $1k option for function, but it is a nice piece of form.

At Porsche, nothing is free… except the removal of acronyms!!!

Butzi Porsche strikes again! From beyond the grave! First he puts an engine into the back of a car- next he f* up the Porsche Design subsecond clock.

Denny Swift

I was just thinking…

I’d guess that the brightness of the clock has to be codeable since it’s adjustable from the PCM. It’s just that the highest brightness is still too dim. If it would just turn up to the level of the rest of the dash, I’d be able to read it. I’m going to see what my dealer says. The brightness has to be adjustable by software.

You are getting old and your eyes 👀 are getting bad 🤷🤓

Staffie Guy

PLEASE let me know how you make out at the dealer as the clock really bugs me at nite. My dealer could not do anything when I brought it in.

Staffie Guy

My ears are also bad-what did you say?
