No, if it is not there, they can't enable it.

You can add Sport Chrono. (U.S. prices) Tip/PDK $1,200 (or Manual $900), + dealer labor to install. Does not include dash mounted timer, which can also be purchased

Did you talk to the parts guy or a salesman?

Give the the parts guy this number 9X7SM. After he "discovers" the part on the system, have him transfer you to the Service Manager. Ask theSM how much they cahrge to install Sport Chrono. If he says it can't be retrofitted........ find a different dealer!

But you do get to drive it in a Porsche.

Gary, whose nearest dealer is two hours away

I guess it now depends on how much you want the sport feature.

If the car does not come with the mounted timer, are you sure you can purchase it seperately to retrofit? I would think it is going to be a lot of work.

I know you can purchase the timer IF your car already have it mounted and maybe it was spoilt. But to drill a hole into the dash seems quite a feat.

Drive to Toronto to get this done. Don't take the risk if your local dealship sounds uncertain about this.
