Sports Chrono Simple Improvement

[Boss Hogg]

I use the mode wheel multiple times on every drive. Couldn’t live without it.

ditto, I change mode a lot because it is so easy, no need to look down or move a hand off the wheel

Agreed on it looking like a wart on the dash. On my 911, I ordered it without the sports chrono and then had the dealer add the sports chrono software, PCM stuff, and buttons. That way I got all the sporty software and bits without the chrono part on the dash!

I like the steering wheel control, use it a lot, along with the individual settings. I could do without the dash wart. Didn't spec sport chrono in my GT3 since it basically just adds the wart.

I thought it looked ugly too so I didn't spec it. I use the "sport button" on the center console display to toggle between sport and normal modes. I do wish I had the "individual mode" that comes with with SC though.

The dash horizon is so much cleaner without the 20th century timepiece

As I said above if you hadn’t specced Chrono in the CT you would have a permanent button on the centre console button to switch to GRAVEL and back.

The gravel button on the dash is there whether you select sports chrono or not.
It is the only place it can be selected, the steering wheel knob selections don’t include the gravel mode.
I quite like the compass and height display. The best bit though was that choosing Neodyme highlights to brighten the interior, which is splendid to my eye, gives a nice colour on the compass dial too.

Just wondering if you can improve the compass by just having the analogue dial and remove the naff digital clock and the unnecessary digital degrees reference?

I don’t find it offensive enough to bother trying personally. Iirc the digital displays are altitude (which I do check in the hills) and time, which I also use even if it is displayed elsewhere too (maybe, I haven’t looked).

Am I being blind - is the compass an option in the configurator? I can't find it anywhere

Can’t get it on the sedan

ahh ok, I guess our cars aren't designed to go off road like the CT and ST

And for the CT the button on the central screen is gravel mode not sport mode.

I have a CT. The button on my central screen is sport mode, not gravel mode. I think they changed this at the time of the uPdate as I have definitely seen old photos showing “gravel” where mine says “sport”.

Only on the CT, not available on others.

Mine says gravel, maybe there is a setup option?

Maybe, I don’t remember setting it up but it’s possible. The sport button is much more important to me than the gravel button.
