Moving up the AC seems to be a problem as the cables are not long enough. I was told that the electronic sytem in the car is so nervous about minimal changes that you get serious trouble with the electronics just by extending or changing cables.

It is no way you get a delete from Stuttgart. Not with ordering a car and also not asking for a conversion to be executed by them in an aftermarket manner. They claim lame things like crashrigidity iwould be influenced blablabla.
I inquired in the factory direct myself as you never can trust those dealers (right?). I then spoke with a raceteam that already had their fingers on the console of a street 997-GT3. They took the radiopart out and exchanged that with a batteryswitch etc. What they had to say about the issue pretty much ruined my last hopes.
That's why I posted my question about manual aftermarket console delete here, to see if anyone has something to contribute to the issue?

i'm only 5'10'' and i keep my right leg pinned against the console and feel like
i could use another inch or two as well.
although the console sometimes is nice to have for leverage.
but after reading these posts it makes me wonder how it would feel w/o
the console.
