Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
On my 03 c4s if you turn off the entire center display, upon restarting the car it displays the last step you were at, namely the SET/OFF on the far left.

This is on a 996.2 (2002) - I can make the lower part of the center cluster under the tachometer go dark using the stalk, but I'm wondering if there is a setting anywhere to make it default to this setting.

I've noticed that too, and it changes if I angle my head or use different sunglasses.

THAT is also why pilots are not allowed to use polarised lenses!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is on a 996.2 (2002) - I can make the lower part of the center cluster under the tachometer go dark using the stalk, but I'm wondering if there is a setting anywhere to make it default to this setting. I find the information that it displays useless. Any tips?

POST 2Original post

Funny cds, as I was going to ask the opposite. For some reason, when wearing polarized sunglasses, the digital display beside the centre one is clearly visible, but the centre is faded out. They look identical without glasses. I use the trip and outside temp gauge all the time.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've noticed that too, and it changes if I angle my head or use different sunglasses. Maybe it'd be worthwhile to try a different pair of glasses?

+1. My wife bought me Porsche sunglasses and same problem

POST 5Original post

Yes the light the gauges emit is focused and polarised lenses cut it out in that plane. THAT is also why pilots are not allowed to use polarised lenses! Just turn your head to see the gauge or get non polar lenses!

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 15971028

Thanks, I kind of figured it had to do with the polarized lens.

POST 7Original post

You can turn off everything under the tachometer and leave it black (and save settings) but you can�t display just the upper 1 of 3 (usually total miles) and not the middle and bottom. My preference is outside temp in middle and with range remaining or average mpg at the bottom.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Optionman1, how do you save the settings?

POST 9Original post

I stand corrected. On my 03 c4s if you turn off the entire center display, upon restarting the car it displays the last step you were at, namely the SET/OFF on the far left. Just 1 push of the stalk and it�s totally off again. Granted it�s not saved but it�s one push and done.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup, that's where I am as well. Only one click of the stalk, but I'd prefer zero.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
