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

[@renadud]

Perfect timing for watching this. I pick up my (new to me) 991.1 911 tomorrow so I'm immersing myself in all things 911 today!!! Its been a 14 year journey for me; I started with a boxster and then a cayman...I'm looking forward to this next model!!

[@gsk5161]

You go girl, call me!

[@KR-zn9tk]

Hey amazing I pick mine up today , how’s your 991 journey so far Rena 🙏🏼

[@3loveheartshandbags]

I have taken the plunge aswell @Rena and purchased a 991.1 C4S convertible. Driving this dream car which is now a reality is fantastic! 😁

[@rajjy1976]

Omg number 2 blew my mind!! A space for your fuel filler cap??? 🤯

[@PorscheCayenneS]

All of the cars I owned in the last ten years have that (MINI, Merc, BMW and Porsche). Maybe a German thing? (MINI is owned by BMW)

[@Chaddron]

Luxury I Tell Ya - That's Worth 20k Alone. 🤣😭

[@glashoppah]

SHHHHH IT’S A SEKRIT

[@MrDemontrigger]

One good tip is to point your Porsche logo on your centre wheel cap to your valve, then you can easily find it.

[@GeordieStevo]

That 991 is unrealll!😍

[@CoraAnderson-sg5eh]

Seems its now for sale at Dove house motors

[@kfacpa]

Thank you very helpful... the mirror adjustment in reverse was worth it's weight in gold..

[@michaelcampbell4503]

Great video, very helpful for me as a 991.1 GTS owner too

[@Rarkal]

I like the wheels, just take the side strips off to clean up the look :-)

[@graemebhatti8501]

Thanks really useful vid. I have a 991.2 and didn’t know half those tips Cheers

[@mohammedalbaker8963]

Thank you.

[@scottdunn9713]

Thanks for the cool tricks and information!

[@killiangrey4083]

Good review, but only so much you can put out when continually using own cars.

[@cobyutterback]

Great video!

[@spencerb8609]

Good stuff

[@larsthrysoe5135]

Thx

[@danield7570]

Bro, I love your videos, I follow your channel since the beginning, that’s cause I love Porsche and am a proud owner of a 991.1 S aerokit and I love it… Just here to ask one question: why don’t you smile in your vids? Why are you always serious?!

[@killianying]

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.

[@charsiew88]

Interesting but which driver will turn off the engine while driving?

[@billjeanette2380]

Only him!!! lol

[@timsalthouse4329]

are you sure about the headlights? i have had a 991.1 C2S like yours and currently a 991.1 targa 4S and both have a setting in the multi function display to set the headlights to right or left hand drive? never used it but sort of assume the setting is there for a reason

[@martinlukas5823]

Nice done ! i have to buy that car,this month and it will be 2013 carrera 4 my dream

[@binguo5287]

Hi: thanks for sharing. Do you have any idea how to set 4 dot DRL stay turn on when the light on for 991.2? Thanks

[@mc4130]

To be brutally honest, I saw the first few and was quite dismissive, but the rest were good - thanks!!

[@vonJaerschky]

Tip 4, I did not know that, thanks! And you definitely need the aluminum look gas cap! ;-)

[@yunzyrade8160]

Hi, I watched your E90 Metallic Whine noise from many years ago, I’m having the same issue. Did it end up being diff? And jd so, what did you do to fix it? I’m pretty sure mine is also diff, but I’m also scared it’s the gearbox bearing, I’ll appreciate a reply! Thank you so much 😊

[@kenolmstead4516]

Can you do a video on the battery charger through the 12v plugs?

[@tank1266]

how do you activate the automatic door locks at 2:18? i cant seem to get them to lock unless I hit the button on the door or on the fob. Thanks in advance.

[@Icomefromthelanddownunde-ks8me]

Car speedos are always about 3 plus kms or mph lower - to avoid being sued for speedo error by motorists caught on speed cameras.

[@mardyj]

It's impossible for a speedo to be 100% accurate so byblaw they can't read slower than the carvis actually travelled but they have to be within a certain percentage of the true speed

[@knn3th]

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" 😉)

[@wernerdanler2742]

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

[@shifo666]

The 10th feature is the most important one !

[@EAD_0]

Regarding the hp figure. Yes it may be marketed at 400 (even though it has 395) but I’d be interested to know if it’s actually 400 on a Dyno?

[@EKLion]

Tip 8 should come with a warning that once you put the tire sealant into the punctured tire you would later need to replace a tire pressure gage in it as a sealant destroys it.

[@Mjv2175]

AND probably the Rim. I've got centrelocks and my SA told me straight up this is a......"You are stranded in the cold in the middle of nowhere and have no cell phone" type of usage.

[@richardgustafson5529]

I tried the paddle trick when I first got my 2017 991.2, no joy. It may be different because my car is an early one, or the 991.2’s may not have this feature. Also, now I know what that yellow strap is for in the frunk.

[@mutley911]

What is the front bumper spoiler lip on this car please?

[@MrDemontrigger]

395BHP = 400PS which is where some people who have provided the specs will have read the 400 number from and thought it must be bhp

[@st33fie]

Exactly! And like most Porsches , the numbers are sandbagged. Meaning that when you dyno a Porsche you’ll read a bigger power number.

[@mardyj]

@@st33fie Porsche being a German company use metric horsepower (PS) rather than BHP - it's not porsche being sneaky, they make sure they state the units they're using

[@a.c.e.7568]

The difference between Metric HP and International HP is 1.0139. 400 / 1.0139 = 394.5.

[@nickhaslam3253]

So the button for heated seats. Is that aftermarket? I thought they were on the centre console

[@malp6280]

either way its in an incredibly stupid position.. I'd have also thought heated/cooled seat switch would be on the dash/on the central display etc

[@alexroberts1801]

Heated seats are on the centre console of my 991 and I have the basic electric seats.

[@derekclark8213]

Tip23 Right hand arm of steering wheel as a button in u see side of stem. Press this button to activate screen wash to head lights.

[@alexroberts1801]

20 hidden roof rack mounts, below the roof gutter rubbers. 21 (manual only) auto re start when u stall and press the clutch in 22 little beep if u try locking the car when a door or the boot is slightly open. 23 (manual only) auto blip tev match in sport plus mode. 24 chrono clock that resets to zero(12) when car is is turned off, then spins like mad to the time of day when u start the car. I love my manual 991 :-)

[@wafftho]

what are those wheel(Rims) style called

[@stevenw3393]

On point 15, if I’m not mistaken, my 2014 991.1 C4S doesn’t shift into neutral when pulling both paddles while moving, that only works when at a stand still and foot is on the brake. I’ll try it tomorrow and feedback.

[@stevenw3393]

I stand corrected…pulling both paddles whilst in motion takes the car out of gear. I also tested holding unlock, which does not put the windows down for me. I wonder if that’s a user/dealer controlled setting?

[@johnreed3576]

Was it TPN’s yellow 996 C4S at Friends Green Porsche??? Love the new channel mate, keep em coming for us enthusiasts that haven’t managed to become owners yet!

[@alsatch_]

They have never had my car John, they had a 996, mine is a 997. Cheers 👍

[@billallen3696]

Or read the manual.

[@simonzero3815]

Tip 24 : Dont buy a Miami Blue version because wherever you go someone will want to know what the colour is called. lol, Thanks for the tips. Brilliant cars.

[@SH-ly1uy]

On Point 3: what’s your source for that ? Never heard that and it sounds like something Porsche would not do

[@malp6280]

its pretty common, however there's also how the engine/drive unit was dynode theres also how OR who converted it from whp from PS/BHP & so-on

[@a.c.e.7568]

0:59 actually my 991.1 has 430 HP. Hey, this ain't no toy like the rest of them. Wink!

[@WadeWilson-]

I can't make my windows go up holding "lock" button after I left it for some service. The people who made the service don't know how to configure the key to make them go up again. Anyone can help?

[@robinoconnor1203]

A little off subject. What would be the best 911, I could get for £40-45k? I am looking for performance. My current car is a 20 month old BMW 440i M Sport coupe, fast but heavy.

[@mc02fly28]

A late 996 turbo maybe??

[@Kyle-nr6nm]

Is that an aftermarket heated seat?

[@jkcarcollection]

one small question: how to fold up my side mirrior? for 991.1 GT3😅

[@gmc1887]

Tip 15 is only gt cars such as gt3/gt3rs and gt2rs

[@user-nv1xv3so2l]

You missed that when you press the accelerator the car accelerates

[@ericmed]

Still wonder why oil change intervals in UK are 2x - 2 years 20k versus 1 year 10k? I DIY the oil yearly before putting it away for winter. Am I wasting my time? 😂

[@malp6280]

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

[@nickhaslam3253]

Why do you feel the need? If you know it all, watch something else. No one likes a smart arse

[@malp6280]

@@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)

[@husseinalqenae194]

Tip 15 only works in gt cars.

[@ac24z]

I don't see how Coast mode saves fuel. When the engine is not connected to the wheels, you need fuel to keep it turning over at idle.

[@The888Redlich]

Idle uses much less than more rpm at cruising speed

[@1970claude]

Wait, what?!?

[@km_attack]

2012.5 991... "key trick" doesn't work.

[@hawkinsjd11]

20, just like Porsche saying there is 400BHP

[@Baerchenization]

Nobody said it has 400 bhp, it has 400 hp, which is 395 bhp. Do you think there are clowns within Porsche who are allowed to make up fantasy specs sheets in a highly regulated market like the automotive industry, because 400 is such a nice, round number for marketing? Ridiculous :)

[@user-gk3iq3lm7t]
