Default Stop Watch On Dash

I kind of regret not having it. Just curious if it could be added without cutting a hole in the dash?

The hole is probably aleady there and just needs to be "punched" out. Problem is, according to experts here, you will never be able to get Porsche to retrofit Sport Chrono electronics in your car.

I wouldn't do it. I think the stopwatch is the least useful function in the sportchrono package. It won't give you 0-60 or 1/4 mile times unless you're watching the speedometer instead of the road (not a good idea) and your hand is on the switch instead of the steering wheel (another bad idea). It may be useful at a track but overall not such a worthwhile option. I certainly wouldn't retrofit it.

Just what I was going to say. I consider it virtually useless.

I wouldn't mind a large analog clock there if I had one.
