I couldn't belive it either, how did they miss that? and the problem is that "the" Porsche keyring's ring is... metallic!

Hehehe not enough attention to detail, I suppose.
You can use this soundproof key pouch though.

Hi brente, yes if you are in manual mode in the PDK and sustain or decrease throttle for a few seconds it will automatically go into auto mode and upshift a gear.
For example, PDK in normal mode likes to keep the engine coasting between 1000-2000 RPM, so if you switch to manual and downshift a couple of gear and the engine is at 4000RPM, if you try to maintain that gear at constant speed for say 5-10 seconds like encountering another vehicle in front that you can't overtake just yet, PDK won't let you, it will automatically go into auto mode ("D") and upshift the two gears back and drop to 1000-2000RPM.
Same thing with Sport mode, but in this case the PDK likes to keep the engine at 2000-3000RPM so it will only upshift one gear instead of two to be in between 2000-3000RPM. and only if you are above 2000-3000RPM to begin with.
Only in Sport Plus will it maintain what ever gear you have selected indefenately as long as it does detect that you need a lower gear, then it will downshift for you, but never upshift.
Hope this was a bit clearer

Hi ray911,
Maybe thats what happened, you may have to put it in manual "with the stick" in order to have it maintain the gears, I did not try it this way and I don't think many have. So if you put it manual by using the steering buttons, it will not maintain gears, even though in the instrument panel it will say it's in manual mode as well. This can be confusing since its not the same then. I will try this myself next time I get a try. And will correct it on the roadtest to avoid confusion. Good observation

about the key: there is an option to leather-ify the key, it's about 80 euro's in germany.

Carlos,
this is a very strange behavior which I did not encounter in my PDK testdrive!
If the PDK stick is not in D but in the left, the manual shift track, it keeps the current gear. Of course, unless you get to the red line when it automatically shifts up or if your RPMs are too low when it shifts down.
It behaves similar to the tiptronic.
It never shifted by itself in any other case.
Of course, also in D mode you can manually change gears at the steering wheel buttons, but then you are in manual mode only for 10secs. Then it reverts back to auto-mode and does what it feels suitable for current throttle setting.

BTW - have you tested the FL manual? That would also be interesting.
Indeed, I will like to see it the engine feels the same with manual, also the throttle response and sport button. I will eventually get my hands on one I would think, and will report back
