Yep, I did know that! :P

I'm not sure you can retrofit the compass without having the entire dash changed and that would be silly money. Agree that the button is really inconvenient

I would love porsche to put sport mode on the PDK so a gentle tap changes it from the relevant modes.
I found that Audi did this very well and I was never searching for a button.

Can the compass be retro-fitted!? I have a feeling not. If it can, it would be a big job and pricey, which is why retro-fitting SC does not give you the dash mounted stop watch.

Changing modes is SO much easier and better with the steering wheel-mounted selector. :D

Totally agree with Kasfranks99 about the audi sports mode on the PDK.

Had three audi DSG's and it was a simple movement from drive to sport and you were away WITHOUT LOOKING.

Its much easier on the steering wheel , but if you do happen to test drive a Porsche with steering wheel mounted Sports Crono don't press the button as all hell breaks loose :D :D :D :D
