Wish there was a way to confirm what method works so I can pass along to my service manager.

Some of you have clueless Porsche dealers. It shouldn't be hard. It took 1 min. Tech coded car as a sport chrono car even though it doesn't have it.

Think its the techs playing "dumb" regarding not being able to do it to protect themselves. Obviously these are features not meant to be available to cars without SportChrono.

It's documented in the owners manual on pages 97 and 98 that the two features are part of the standard car without SportChrono, also on page 44 of the GT4 Technik.
ROW cars without SportChrono have these two features enabled, it was just a coding mistake for NA.

Gave my service advisor the info provided here to enable. No dice.

Is anyone motivated to write a step by step for getting the PIWIS to enable? First 6 pack is on me (seriously!)
