  • @boxterjeff
    @boxterjeff 3 года назад +37

    Tip 21. hold hand in front of crest (4 inches) by bumper to open front trunk when unlocked.
    Tip 22. To remove dummy blank key, just turn key left to right 3 times and you can remove only if your key fob is farther than 4 feet from car.
    Tip 23. For launch control without Sport Chrono. Put in Sport mode and hold brake and throttle advance and it will rev to about 4,000 rpm and take foot off brake.
    Tip 24. To extend manually the rear spoiler to position 3 ( fully extended) go faster than 77 mph and either open sunroof or hit middle button on sunroof control to open the rear part of sunroof.
    Tip 25. You CAN actually operate the seat heat and the ventilation at the same time.
    Great job. I have a 2017 991.2 Carrera 2

    the windows on open & lock are common place on most cars these days I'll give you a simple example my old e46 04 318 had it, my celica st205 gt4 had it & that was a 94, my 08 mini has it "it also operates your sunroof aswell if fitted"
    the speedo 3-4 mph actual to display reading.. well its been like this since the 60's in pretty much every vehicle going
    the removing key from a running ignition & then turning it back to the 'on position' again its like this on most vehicles with electronic ignitions.
    I was waiting for the scan tool to be shown...... "you don't need that!"
    its not even relevant to the upload!! I'd actually be concerned over promoting the tool you sell through your business as your not clearly showing its a sponsored/PR for such equipment

      @malp6280 3 года назад +8

      @@nickhaslam3253 why do you feel the need as "I'm guessing with HIGH abilities" you don't & have never driven a car or own a car...
      you may find ppl don't like gob-sh!t3s "talking rubbish from a NIL founded back ground/knowledge" as if you did have even basic knowledge or abilities, or even owned a car with electric windows/sun roof & remote central locking your car would have such abilities dating back some many years "its NOT NEW!"
      if my previous comment makes me smart then I'm a true genius compared to you.. as all I've done is type experiences from previous vehicles I've owned, I could also comment on cars I've used or witnessed over the years also having such abilities as again most of what's said isn't new... ie cruise control having a speed limit... that's OLD news
      the only aspect seen here is the coast mode!! to save fuel as in most cars putting a vehicle into neutral whilst driving usually uses more fuel & is also seen as dangerous due to removing the 'engine braking' aspect, clearly this isn't the issue here "with it being automatic & having a low idling function at a nominal speed"
      as for the scan tool... this always gets thrown into the uploads for marketing purposes.. again, he really need to show its a promotional add via utubes legal standards & social media legal requirements via content creators (you may have seen the news recently covering such failings via social media creators)

    My wife has a one-way 73.2-mile commute with no traffic (most of the time). She drives 3 different cars: 2014 911 991 (C4S MT), 2019 MB E450 wagon, and 2020 911 992 (C2S PDK). She sets the cruise control most of the way, and when she drives the wagon, she can get home 2-3 minutes faster, and we always wonder why. Now I know ... but she won't! I'm not telling her about this video, or she will drive even faster with the 911's.

    Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't that button on the side of your seat of an aftermarket heated seat installation? In my 981 (almost identical interior) the seat heater buttons are on the centre console below the A/C-buttons. (Oh, and there's a typo @3:47 "recomemdation" 😉)

    Many of the features you mentioned are common to most German cars.
    I bet you didn't know that if you have the outside mirror adjustment set to the driver side that curb finder feature won't work. At least on my merc it is that way. I tore my console apart looking for a bad wire when mine quit working till I set it to my offside, left hand drive. Lol
    My e320 is a 2001 so have no screen but oil level check, on the small diagnostic screen on the binnacl, but I do have a dipstick.
    With the speedometer thing. Is that true for both the dial and the digital?
    I'll have to try that cruise control thing on this thing. Lol
