Tell Me Something I don't know about the 997

Yes, this can be performed by the dealer. Also, when locking the car and holding down the button the windows will close. Just be nice during your next service and they may do it for free.

Of course, we live in a very hot desert. Leaving the windows up while the car is parked not only dries and cracks the interior soft goods, but it also creates a nice toasty interior around 140 F. It's a pain to forget while locking up and have to get back in and insert the key to lower the windows a touch. But when getting in the car, it takes about half a second's pressure on the switches to start both windows going down all the way. That means the gain from an 'automatic' key fob lowering is minimal at best, whereas the cost of accidentally enabling that feature on a rainy winter day... Well, doing it once would overwhelm any pleasure I ever got from doing it on hot Summer days.
Don't think I'll be asking the dealer to program this one,

If the side mirror adjustment **** is turned and kept in the right (passenger) position, when you put the car in reverse (manual transmission), the passenger side mirror will automatically angle down so you can see the curb. It is a great feature but you have to wait about 5 seconds for it to happen. It is worth the wait

For some reason, this feature doesn't work on my 06 C2S cab, whereas it did on my 05 C2S cab. I believe the 06 had some minor difference in electrical system that causes this.

I believe all seats with full power adjustment also have memory function. But you're correct, it is the seat memory function that provides passenger mirror tilt when reverse gear is selected. I love it, as it helps prevent curb rash when parallel parking. (I set the mirror so I can see my rear wheel).

My 2 cents....When I leave a building and get within sight of my car, I unlock and lower the windows. It's sort of hot here in FL.

In the Mojave, we lower our windows before we leave the car so it never gets that hot in the first place.
