On the later cars you can adjust the ride height settings and how they activate on vehicles so equipped, play with how the memory seats work and so on. One of the biggest problems is that there is almost no reference information, even from Porsche, as to what is possible. A lot of coding capabilities are kind of "stumbled upon" while using the system, or read about when someone else finds it. Almost an "Easter Egg Hunt" kind of thing. Most shops have developed a list of what can be changed and by how much on their own. I think the real reason they took most of it out of the enthusiast version was that people were getting into trouble and not being able to get back to where they started.
Thanks; helpful info.
