You're probably right. Let me try that out. Thing is that it says that the button is not programmed.

I also could not find the opposition to program that diamond key as suspension lift.

Is it hidden somewhere?

I asked at the Porsche centre about programming the diamond button to lift the car suspension. They said it's not possible, so i set it to the home screen.
I also tested the standing still when activating the camera view with the diamond button, but it occurred again that the button is not programmed. Strange. Maybe it's a bug in the PCM.
I forgot to ask this at the dealer.

My Turbo S e-hybrid has the diamond button for suspension lift. Love it set that way. It is an option in the scroll-down menu on my car for setting the button. Terrific feature.

I have also programmed my Pan4 E-Hybrid to lift via air suspension when I use the diamond button. However, for some reason, it occasionally loses the memory and I have to re-program it (like after weeks, so maybe a bug).

It's interesting to me that so many Panamera owners use their diamond button for lifting the car. It's obviously an important feature that many owners like using.

I'm now even more motivated to find out how this can be set. I can't imagine that the suspension setting options in PCM or steering wheel are different between various Panamera models.

Can you explain how you set it?

Thanks in advance!

Anybody know how you can force the PCM Media Player to rescan the USB media by some PCM option?
Currently the only way I found is to remove the USB hard disk, connect my phone, seelect it in Media Player, disconnect it and reconnect the USB hard disk.
That's quite a hassle each time you update the USB drive with music.


Also, in Devices you can supposedly pair devices. When I click on it, it says "please connect your phone to the USB port to get access to your phone features" (or something similar). But when I connect my Samsung Galaxy S9+ to the USB it does not detect it.
It does detect the phone via bluetooth and the media player does too when connected via USB.
I just want to know what this feature would bring. Does anybody know what it is and how to do it properly?

I set it through the big screen... Find the diamond button menu, scroll down to the lift function and press. Then I press the Memory Key buttons on the driver door to put into memory.

I have voice command button on the upper left stalk tip... It's so easy to tap that, so I can use the diamond button for something that you'd otherwise have to go into the big screen to access...

Didn't know.....so had to try it. Was set to toggle through the audio sources - not terribly useful for me since primarily have it on XMsat. Not a lot of choices with 970.1. Currently changed it to switch the multifunction display to Audio

alas....this ^^^^ would be the BEST use of it!!!

Mine is Front Camera view, great when you are in a tights spot and need a quick peak on surroundings.

Originallly I had it programmed for surround view, but then switched to raise the suspension. Unfortunately the most common mode for me is "Not Assigned". No matter what setting I try, it is always forgotten. This has been an issue since day one.

I'd prefer next track but I'm on the cameras since a shortcut cant be made for the cameras on the home screen but you can put the media widget there that will let you go back and forward. Ideally the next/previous would already be on the wheel but, you know, Porsche and all that... O_o I also find that mine holds for about 2 to 3 weeks before it magically becomes unassigned. I have my best result with the memory when I save with the car not moving but the engine started and always save to both memory position and key. If I don't do it exactly that way the car may keep it for a day or two or not even make it to the next startup. Do the certifiable and I get the two weeks. More or less. Porsche and all that...

I use the diamond to disable the auto off feature. In my 2018 the auto off cannot be permanently turned off so I need to turn it off each trip. You can turn on surround view with a button on the overhead, next to the light, and I have the suspension height adjustment on my home page.

krabman

I gotta check that overhead, didn't realize there was a way to trigger the cameras up there.

Maybe make sure if you reprogram the button that you save it in the door/key memory.

Remember pretty much every setting in the car that is customizable is save to the memory setting and the key. If you don't save it after you update the button to the memory number it won't save. If you switch keys, it also won't save your settings if you didn't have it set up that way on both keys.

This drove me nuts on my drive home from buying the car a few states over. I had both keys on me, and the settings would change every time I started the car simply because it will switch which key showed up! I was so mad until I figured it out, and eventually I was notified by the dash that it was picking up two keys. But even with one in the trunk area sometimes it would pick up one or the other key...….so not my second key is locked in a lead safe!
