i need to activate sport chrono

[GifuGifu]

It is definitely not plug-and-play. A genius with a Porsche laptop might be able to enable the feature, but details on the re-coding process have not been verified.

okay, but what about this statement by Elysium above:

“I opted to buy a replacement wheel from ebay for around the same price as I would've paid for the parts.

The knob works without any coding. With that said, I have been tinkering with PIWIS in an attempt to enable other sport chrono functionality.”

isn’t he implying no coding is necessary for the drive mode selection to work via the knob but just not sport+ or individual?

If you only want to switch between the standard normal/sports drive modes, then it is “plug and play”, but it would not be the full functionality of the Sports Chrono package.

It doesn’t unlock Sport Plus or Individual drive mode but outside of that, it is absolutely plug and play for switching between the drive modes that you have. It’s a little tricky to see from pictures but the ‘Sport Plus’ and ‘Individual’ options are visible but slightly greyed out and not selectable.

EDIT:
Wanted to add that no other modifications were necessary since I have received some PM’s asking about this. No control box swap or anything else is needed.

-Car off, key away, steering wheel straight.
-Depress pins on side of trim to release airbag.
-Disconnect airbag connectors and set airbag aside.
-Disconnect main (yellow) connector in top center and heating connector(as applicable) in mid/lower left.
-Remove main wheel bolt
-Remove wheel

Install is reverse order of the above steps. I also applied blue loctite and torqued to spec.
