Sport Chrono gauge, illuminated?
Hey guys, only had my 2010 997.2 for about 5 months, and never had a Porsche with the Sport Chrono package before.
I was wondering if the gauge is supposed to be illuminated with the lights on? Thanks!

I learned recently that the light only comes on when the timer function is operational. I have heard that it can be programmed, via PIWIS, to come on whenever the dash lights are on. Otherwise, turn on the chrono timer (I know, redundant), pause it at a random time, and go about your business. The bezel light will come on with the dash lights. The digital readout in the center will also be illuminated at whatever random time you paused it.
The downside of a random value on a gauge, IMHO, is outweighed by the look of having all dash lights illuminated. Without it, it's like having a tooth missing. I can't believe it was designed like that. If anyone has any hard info on the reprogramming option, please chime in. I plan to ask my indy to do it the next time I go in.

Thanks guys for the info! Honestly.....I have only driven the car a hand full of times that required the lights on, and always thought it looked weird. I guess I could see how it may be distracting for some......I just wanted to make sure more than anything it wasn't broke.......
