Tip or Tip S?
Is there a difference between tiptronic and tiptronic s? I see both terms used not only in the forum but also by Porsche and am wondering if there is a difference or if they're the same thing. Along those lines, I know PDK came out in 2009 but was it not available on the turbo until 2010? I've done plenty of searching but am still unclear on this. Thanks!

Maybe this will help:
Tiptronic S
The Tiptronic S is an upgrade to the original Tiptronic, with the ability to adapt to driver's behaviour, and also allows driver to change gears without entering manual mode.[2] In manual mode, if there is no driver input for a period of eight seconds, the system reverts to automatic mode.[3] It was used as early as 2000 Porsche Boxster.[4]
In the Porsche Cayenne, the Tiptronic S was upgraded to six-speed.[5]
