Valet Parking Mode, or Service Key?
Hi,
I commute most weeks via a Boeing 777, so my car spends most of the time at the LAX parking lot. I have noticed over the years that there tends to be minor millage deviations on my car when I return. When I drove the Vette, I also notice excessive tire wear. I think the boys at the garage are having a little fun with my cars, while I'm away. Since I don't want this to continue, especially since I'm dealing with a Porsche, I turned on the speed warning notice and set it to 15 MPH. Since then, the mysterious millage has disappeared, but I know this will only be temporary. On my tuned Audi, I had a remote I could plug into the OBDE-II plug, and program the car for a valet mode, which limited the speed and distance the car could travel under this mode. Is there anything similar for the Porsche? Thanks.
