Same thing with unlocking the matrix design LED headlights in the US. Frustrating.

 

I’ll check with Mars as well. Have you had your car serviced since then? My concern is whether the dealership might notice that this feature has been disabled. I’m not entirely sure how it works. Apologies if this is a basic question. My A/S/S has been disabled using a memory module, and I thought I wouldn’t need to add LKA to the module since we should technically be able to turn it off permanently...

 

Oh yeah many times. 30k mi now on the TGT and went through the major cluster update as well as pcm update. Integration test as well as all the optional updates and my LKA delete and Matrix lights still work.

 

Same problem for me. It'll stay off for a week or two and then just randomly turn itself back on. I hate it.

 

I just set my LKA to the lowest sensitivity option in the PCM on my 992.2s and it has never bothered me. Only pops a warning when I’m really ON the centerline, and never on twisty backroads where I’ve crossed it intentionally straightening out a chicane. The LKA ICON will just turn red showing it’s giving up on reminding me. Like the coffee nanny, at low sensitivity I find these only intrude when they actually need to, so I don’t mind them.

Now the speed limit warning - I turned that damned thing off day 1 and it’s never come back. I set personal speed limit “reminders” at 80 & 90 MPH because I don’t need my insurance going up just because I wasn’t paying attention.

 

You're lucky... In Switzerland, we're not part of the European Union, but we still have to deal with all the EU's annoying regulations.
So every time I start the car, I have to go through the hassle of turning off the start-stop system, LKA, and the speeding warning beep...

If only I had a friend with a PIWI.

 

Same - yesterday, I had to juke around the car in front of me who decided they needed to turn left RIGHT NOW without warning, and I had to fight the car to not hit the bozo. Scared the **** out of me, as this is my first P-car with only 800 miles on it. I already have to put it in Sport mode every time I start it to disable the Start/Stop, which also alarms me when it just shuts off unexpectedly. Now I guess I will also have to check to disable LKA upon starting, as well.................

 

At least on the GT3/Touring models, there’s a button that lets you quickly turn everything off at once via the PCM.....

But why doesn't Porsche offer this feature across its entire lineup, so it can be programmed using a diamond-shaped button?

 

I think this is a little different, because Matrix headlights are illegal in the U.S. So Porsche is not required to allow you to keep your hack that enables them.

However, I agree that preferential settings that are permitted by local laws should be retained across engine starts.

 

so I just had a long conversation with my girlfriend Chat GPT and she says there is no way to completely and permanently turn off lane keep assist in a 2026 Carrera. She recommends adjusting the settings - steering intervention to "late" and "warning only". She says that will minimize the intervention significantly. I have LKA on another car and I find it not just annoying, but seriously dangerous. For those of you that have LKA, what do you find to be the best approach to get around it. This bugs me enough that I would consider not taking delivery on a new 911.

 

That's the only power that any of us have. Porsche accepts and understands no other form of feedback. Use it!

Apparently, this lets you permanently disable all that mandatory crap.

 

I agree that LKA is dangerous. Just the opposite of a "safety" feature. But respectfully, I think you may be overreacting a bit.

I've driven recent model rental cars in Europe where LKA must be deactivated on every start-up. A new EU legal requirement that's an incredible PIA. I have no idea why, with recent model 911s in North America, LKA reactivates after being turned off. But at least for me, it reactivates every couple of weeks. I notice it immediately as the icon on the dashboard turns green rather than being greyed out, and it takes exactly a three second press of the switch on the stalk to turn it off. Is it a bit annoying? Absolutely yes. Would I walk away from a 911 because of that? Absolutely not.

 

As long as your Skinner box has deviated stitching, it's all good, I guess.

 

What is the procedure for coding it out? I don't want that crap to EVER be active on any of my cars
