Porsche changed the TIP function between my '99 and my '01 to make the TIP shift manually possible without being in manual mode.

I love it the way it is because I can see that I'm in a portion of road where downshifting makes sense where the TIP might not be able to see a half mile ahead like the driver can.

Don't recall ever upshifting it in auto mode though. Maybe because I'm used to the TIP.
