Recognise any of these?

You bought your Macan or Cayenne without Sport Chrono and now every time you scroll through the drive mode options, the gap where the mode switch should be stares back at you.
Your dealer quoted somewhere north of $2,000 to retrofit Sport Chrono — for parts that should have been there from the factory.
You're stuck cycling through Normal, Sport, and Sport+ on the touchscreen, while cars specced with the package get a dedicated rotary switch on the steering wheel.
You've seen the Sport Chrono mode switch on a friend's Porsche and only then realised yours was optioned without it — and now you can't un-see it.


Sport Chrono controls and clock/display requirements
Clock and display requirements are vehicle- and option-specific; do not infer function from the presence or absence of the dashboard clock.

Macan and Cayenne fitment and programming
Macan and Cayenne fitment is configuration-specific. Send the VIN, model year, transmission and existing controls so we can confirm the supported option and whether programming is required.

What you get in this kit

Steering wheel mode switch (rotary drive-mode selector + Sport Response button) — model-specific to your variant choice
Sport Chrono activation module (the small electronic unit that talks to the car's CAN bus)
Plug-and-play wiring harness
PIWIS activation code for your specific VIN where applicable; programming scope is confirmed for the selected option.
Step-by-step installation guide
1-year standard warranty (extended coverage available)

Available functions are confirmed per vehicle and agreed option; PDK alone does not establish Launch Control compatibility. Component provenance and programming scope are stated for the selected option.

Optional add-on: dashboard chronograph clock
Want the physical chronograph dial on top of the dash for the OEM look? We sell it as a separate product and can bundle it with this kit at order time:

Want the clock added to your order? Mention it in your order notes when you check out, or message us first and we'll confirm the compatible clock/display scope.
Already have a clock from another source? Confirm compatibility and any programming requirements for the exact vehicle and option.
Don't want the clock? The required clock/display and functions are confirmed for the selected vehicle path before purchase.
