1) It's a rocker switch, not a toggle.
2) No cop ever cared whether or not the spoiler was up on my 986. The assumption that all law enforcement officers know the speeds at which every spoiler on every car deploys is a flawed one.
3) Unless your arms are four feet long, operating the switch while driving is a bad idea. However, you can extend the spoiler at a stop, and unless you EXCEED the deployment speed and then slow down, it will stay up.
4) If you REALLY like the spoiler extended, use the switch to deploy it and then pull the fuse. Up it will stay. I used to do this with my Boxster @ autocross.

 

Then you won't be able to open your trunk or your hood. I think your fan won't work either. There are some ways to make it stay up but I don't know for sure. I heard jumping 2 wires in the spoiler harness. I'd like to know as I don't like the looks of a plain 911 rear end.

 

Depending on year D7 or D8 is the fuse for the spoiler and only the spoiler.

 

Just following up on this. 2002 C4S. D7 disables spoiler but also hood pop. Trunk still works. D8 doesn't seem to do anything related.

 

Lol you guys are too funny. I’ll keep that advice in mind next time I need to change the radio station, adjust my wipers, move the mirror, and I’ll sure as heck pull over the next time I need to sneeze!

I meant safe from a technical perspective, like would it be bad on the spoiler. Sounds like that is a no. Thanks!!!

 

I see In a reflection in the sun that there is a dash light that shows the spoiler, is it supposed to light up when the spoiler is up or down? I can never see if it's all the way up or all the way down unless I get out of the car. Especially if I lower it manually I never know how long to hold the button? Does the light let you know like the convertible roof light?

 

That's incorrect. While it may not be used for the sole purpose of issuing a citation, it can be used in conjunction with other indicators of speed. And police do know quite a bit about performance cars.

 

Well, considering you can have it up when you are not moving via the footwell switch, it doesn't say anything about your speed. The light should come on when the car is started and remain on until you drive for a few seconds. Not sure why it does that, but it must be doing do some sort of diagnostic.

 

Okay, you stick with that.

 

I used to have it up all the time with my previous 996. I had mastered pushing the button with my toe. I would do it every time after getting off the freeway as it would definetly be down as soon as you exit.

 

If you feel like doing a mod there is a way to install a switch in the horseshoe or center console to install the turbo's spoiler switch. This will allow you to raise and lower without risking your life while grabbing your own ankles.

Its on mine, and mentioned in all the reviews I've read about the C4S........its normal....

 

"And police do know quite a bit about performance cars."

Ok, that made me laugh, thanks.
