How to Program This Hidden Button? Or Is It Something Else?

I might be asking a newb question here, but there’s this button I didn’t even know existed. I tried to find it in the settings, but it’s nowhere to be found, and it doesn’t seem to do anything when I press it.

That’s the heated steering wheel button. Assuming your car has it, give it a minute, and you should feel some warmth.

You’ll also see an on/off notification on the dash display to the right.

Thanks! My dealer said it was included, but there was no warmth or notification. I went to Porsche, and they said it’s broken and needs repair. At least my dealer will cover the cost! Thanks again!

It’s the passenger ejection actuator.

I read that as ‘ejaculation’ at first glance!

That’s a completely different button, haha.

I thought I knew my car well… I guess I don’t know where that button is!

@Olin
I’ve been looking for years without luck. It just makes my palms sweaty every time.

It’s probably the drift button.

Hold it down.

Hodor!

Seriously? You bought a 100k car and don’t know how to use the features? Were you too distracted by the champagne the seller gave you?

Many used cars come with special features you might not even care about. The list can be long and not always obvious.

It took me a year to figure out that you can toggle the massage function by pressing the lumbar support switch in the middle. I thought it had to be done through the PCM!

@Zya
You can activate it through the PCM? I always used the push button on the side of the seat :smile:

Yeah, you can find it under the Car menu → Comfort → Driver seat/Passenger seat → Massage seats. Not the easiest way to manage it, so I felt pretty silly when I found the button on the seat.

When you bought your fake Patek Philippe, was there champagne to distract you? I’ve never bought a Patek Philippe, but it sounds expensive.

Calm down. The guy just asked a question.
