You get it from Pfaff or DFC?
Dealer can add is easily, its programing and in fact if I remember correctly in Canada dealers offered a software update for ppl who had earlier cars that wanted rev matching.
Just lean on them a little in a constructive way.

To clarify.
My car is 2013.
I am very familiar with the options and what each gets me. I also know that 2013 models built after Nov 2012 have rev matching. I specifically discussed this option with my dealer and the car I picked a 2013 C2S with chrono was suppose to have it.
I admit I never check the built date and assumed that my dealer would have told me if there was a problem.
To my surperise my car does not have rev matching. Which means it was built before nov 2012. I guess that is why I got a good deal
I am still happy. I love the car and perhaps this will help me improve my heal and toe skills.
Thanks for your all you support guys I fell better having ready some of your positive supports.

This does clarrify everything . In fact I didn't know that within the same model year the earlier builds lacked rev matching on a manual grearbox .
You do have a valid complaint . I do know there are software updates though.
How did you find out that your car didn't have rev matching ? Did you test it and hit an over rev ?

Do you know anyone who has done the software update. I have heard that there are sensors involved which are not dealer installed.

I think you are right. I think there is more to it than just a software update.

Just got my first 911 after many years of waiting for it. I wanted a deal so I got what was considered a good deal. I was told that my 2013 C2S with chrono and 7MT will have rev matching to my surprise the car I got is a late 2012 built with no rev matching ( I was never told of this, only through my own research on this forum). I am very upset and feel cheated but I have nothing in writing that this feature was promised to me...
Am i being too sensitive to be pissed at my dealer? I would have been ok if this option never existed but the idea that I could have had it makes me upset.
So far I love the car but my experience with my Porsche dealer has not been the best. There are other issues like scratched that was touched up which I hope will be taken care of soon...
What would you guys do / think ?

. The rev matching feature works on the gear you are jumping to and relatively matches the revs to the speed going. Does that make sense?

I simply put the car in sport plus dropped the gear from 4 to 3 at around 4000 RPM and no blip. With rev matching you would get a blip and rpm should go up to about 5000. This is exactly sample as heel and toe but only automatic.

if it works like the 370 z it blips when it feels the shifter about to slide into the gate, if you coast in neutral and slide the shifter around you can get it to blip each gear by pressing against the gate

It also holds the RPMs up at the designated spot for a second or so, making it a smooth shift. To be honest, I avoid Sport+ because I'd rather perfect my manual driving skills without having the computer aid me in any way.

Ah sorry man. I totally hear you on wanting a feature or having it nagging you that you could have it it etc. If there is a way for it to be added go that route, if you really want it.
That being said enjoy the hell out of your car. It's still a porsche and still a great car. Plus as others have said you're still able to do it yourself!

I have asked dealer if they can add it.

It handles rev-matching perfectly in those situations. If you go straight from 7th to 4th, it'll wait until you actually push the gear **** into the 4th gear position, and will then rev up to the appropriate RPM. It's never skipped a beat when I've messed around with it.
