For the Porsche 911 (991) (911 Carrera, 911 Carrera S/4/4S/GTS, 911 Targa, 911 Turbo / Turbo S, 911 GT3 / GT3 RS; chassis 991, 991.1, 991.2; model years 2011-2019) our catalogue lists 34 features in 10 categories. Below you see per category what we can switch on or retrofit.
Each feature shows how certain we are: “likely possible” means several independent sources confirm it; “checked at diagnosis” means it differs from car to car. Final compatibility is always confirmed at the diagnosis of your car.
Seven Tuning works in Rotterdam and Waddinxveen: the workshop is in Waddinxveen and serves Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Remote coding works anywhere in the Netherlands and abroad, when the job allows it.

Screens and instruments (9)
Apple CarPlay activation
Your iPhone appears on the PCM screen for navigation, music and messages, if the car did not have it yet.
Condition: 991.2 with PCM 4.0, when CarPlay was not ordered
Full-screen CarPlay
CarPlay uses the full width of the wide PCM screen instead of a narrower box with a side bar.
Condition: 991.2 PCM 4.0
CarPlay keyboard while driving
The CarPlay on-screen keyboard stays available while driving, so the passenger can type an address or search term.
Intended for the passenger; the driver keeps eyes on the road.
Condition: 991.2 PCM 4.0
Sport displays in the instrument cluster
Extra screens in the instrument cluster, such as boost pressure, a g-force meter, power and torque graphs and a menu with engine values.
Condition: 991.2
Show actual coolant temperature
The temperature gauge shows the real coolant temperature instead of a smoothed middle position. Useful on track.
Extended boost gauge range
The scale of the boost gauge is raised so that higher pressure after a tune is shown correctly.
Mainly useful after an engine tune.
Condition: 991.2 turbo engines
Gauge dial lighting always on
The rev counter and speedometer stay illuminated during the day too, for a sporty, easy-to-read look.
Condition: 991.2
Turn off the upshift indicator
The arrow or triangle that tells you when to shift up disappears from the instrument cluster.
Model name in the welcome screen
The instrument cluster welcome screen shows a different model designation, for example after a conversion.
Only model names from the same range; we mainly advise it after a genuine conversion.
Condition: 991.2
Retrofit (7)
CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit (PCM 3.1)
An interface behind the PCM 3.1 screen adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, often wireless too. The original system keeps working.
Condition: 991.1 with PCM 3.1 / CDR 3.1
Sport Chrono package retrofit
With the original clock, mode switch and coding, your Porsche gets Sport Plus, launch control (with PDK) and the lap timer of the Sport Chrono package.
Which functions you get depends on model year and gearbox.
Rear-view camera retrofit
A camera at the rear shows the picture on the PCM screen when reversing, with guidelines where the system supports it.
Condition: PCM 3.1 or PCM 4.0
Front and rear parking sensors retrofit
Sensors in the bumpers warn of obstacles when parking, with beeps and a picture on the screen.
Multifunction steering wheel or mode button retrofit
A steering wheel with control buttons, or an extra programmable button, is fitted and coded so you control audio, phone or driving functions from the wheel.
Cruise control retrofit
A cruise control stalk is fitted and the engine and instrument modules are coded so you can hold a set speed.
HomeLink garage door opener retrofit
You open the garage door or gate with a button in the car, without a separate remote.
Convenience (4)
Windows, roof and top from the key
Holding the unlock or lock button on the key opens or closes all windows, the sunroof or the convertible top.
Condition: Incl. Cabriolet roof
Start-stop – remember last setting
If you switch start-stop off, it stays off at the next start too. No need to press the button every trip.
We prefer “remember last setting”; the final setting is agreed together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Condition: 991.2
Service interval setting
After maintenance the service indicators are reset or adjusted, so the instrument cluster shows the correct next service.
New battery registration
After replacing the 12-volt battery, the new battery is registered so the charging system charges it properly and it lasts longer.
Driving and performance (4)
Sport exhaust button and flap behaviour
After fitting a sport exhaust or flaps, the controls are coded so you can choose between a subdued and a full sound at the press of a button.
Sound must stay within legal limits.
Condition: 991.2
Active spoiler speed setting
The speed at which the active rear spoiler extends, or its position, is adjusted, for example with an aftermarket spoiler.
The spoiler adds stability at high speed; we advise a safe setting.
Condition: 991.2
Power Steering Plus
Speed-sensitive power steering: light steering when parking and manoeuvring, firm and direct at higher speeds.
Condition: 991.2
Sportier steering calibration (GT software)
The power steering gets the calibration of the GT models: more feel and less assistance. Often chosen for track use.
The steering feels heavier at low speed.
Condition: 991.2
Lighting (3)
Daytime running lights – together with sidelights
With the daytime running lights on, the sidelights or the four LED points light up as well, often dimmed. The light signature looks more complete during the day.
We agree the exact light behaviour with you in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Daytime running lights in the vehicle menu
A daytime running light option appears in the settings menu, so you can set it yourself.
Legal requirements for daytime running lights still apply; we agree the setting together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Comfort indicator flash count
One tap on the indicator stalk gives a set number of flashes, for example 5 instead of 3. Handy when changing lanes.
Condition: 991.2
Safety (3)
Emergency brake light flashing – adjust
During an emergency stop the brake lights flash or the hazard lights come on to warn traffic behind you.
We agree the exact behaviour with you within the legal rules.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Condition: 991.2
Seatbelt reminder – adjust
The seatbelt reminder is tuned to how you use the car, for example for the passenger seat when bags often lie on it.
Wearing a seatbelt stays mandatory; the exact setting is agreed with you in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Tyre pressure monitoring – track setting
Tyre pressure monitoring gets a track setting, so hot tyres with different pressures do not trigger false warnings.
Intended for track use; the setting is agreed together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Condition: 991.2
Access and locking (1)

When you open the luggage compartment with the key, the doors stay locked. Safer when loading and unloading.

Only for cars with a front camera; signs can occasionally be misread.
