It changes the mode of the "parking sensors", turns off power to the rear lighting circuit and puts the display screen into a differnet display mode. Not quite James bond but useful if required.
It just gets better! I want counter measures

Don't neglect your 911uk thread please
There's not a lot to update you all on since the last big one to be honest. All it's done is worked hard and carried on clocking up the miles. With it being the busy time of year it's earning the money that gets spent on it's upgrades right now Not sure how much of 911uk I can clutter up with "driven it somewhere again" type threads

Can we have a link to the 911uk thread please.
There's not a thread as such, no build thread or similar I'm afraid, just a variety of posts about bits getting done/upgraded. I should go back through my photos really and try to piece a build thread together.... but it would be LONG!poppopbangbang said:

I should go back through my photos really and try to piece a build thread together.... but it would be LONG!Some more random pictures I have dug out, no particular order just gives a little more insight into the cars life:
1170 miles, that's not dirt up the rear near the lights.... that's brake dust. Hence going to larger rears.
Because what problems could sticking a few laps in cause when you're already at a circuit.....
Lighting upgrade, now runs ex LMP1 LEDs.
GPS, 3G, Wifi, UHF antenna that lives inside the engine cover.
3AM, near 2K miles completed.
Inside the sump at 270K miles odd.
Front brake test fit. They fit fine despite everyone saying it was impossible to fit what are essentially Cayenne Turbo calipers to a 996.
Fresh wheels, they came off to be stripped and crack tested as at 250K miles I wasn't 100% sure they were still good to go. They were and were tarted up to go back on.
Birthday, currently three weeks off being 17 years old.
Old spec flat floor. From an aero POV it worked, it just wasn't very good for sliding on....
A lot of the fasteners on the car are Ti, mainly because it makes it a lot more serviceable as they never corrode.
Not sure if this is current or old spec as they masters look the same.
Lift pumps.
Front brake clearance under what are standard Porsche 18" wheels isn't exactly massive....
A better view of the SLM.
No travel sweets in this centre console!
Practical car, it's basically a van.
Nice patina on the badge
