Adam C Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hello to all the forum members, I'm the proud owner of a newly acquired 987S (3 days ago) it has a couple of small issues that I'm happy with sorting but on the whole I've fallen in love. What an amazing drive!! Can someone explain to me how the chrono works, mine I suspect doesn't!! I'm selecting chrono in the settings menu, and the when the stopwatch option appears it doesn't seem to want to select anything past that point, no reset, no start/stop or anything else for that matter. I realise the chrono doesnt light up with the dash lights but I can't see a way of seeing if it's working at all. Am I doing something wrong?? Or is it just Kaputt!!

Menoporsche Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 welcome I forgot how Chrono works, I have it but only used it twice in 10 years, I found it a gimmick. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam C Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Completely agree with the gimmick comment but it'll bug me till I know it's fixed or at least how to work it if it's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Doesn't it work off a stalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Loon Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 It is started and stopped but pushing the stalk forwards from memory. Only used mine once as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam C Posted September 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yeah that is what I have been trying to do, it comes up with the chrono option when selecting it on the stalk but then when I go to select stopwatch it is as though nothing wants to select. Looks like its broken - does anyone know if there is a seperate fuse for the Chrono??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowbos Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 I tried mine earlier. Cycle round to the Chrono option using the stalk. Push it away from you and you get the Chrono options such as stopwatch etc. Push it away again and the Chrono clock lights up and starts timing. If it does not then you have an issue it would seem. Might need someone with a PIWIS to take a look at the Chrono settings? You are up North I see. Give Revolution a call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwerty987 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 I had this same issue, but it is there. It is accessed thru one of the control stalks via a sub menu. But once you try it once you will never use it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Tell you what, I recently found the RUF version of this, and they'd taken out the Chrono and fitted an oil temp gauge, which I thought was infinitely more useful. Wonder how easy it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam C Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yeah I'm doing it right, selecting the chrono by pushing away, then it says stopwatch, should push away to start it but won't select anything further than this and chrono doesnt light. There is a separate fuse for the chrono which I'll check when I have 2 minutes and it's booked in at revolution for their 111 point check on the 4th of Oct so I'll have a word if I can't sort it by then.

Wonder how easy it is? Any type of gauge or just a clock would be infinitely more useful. Still it looks nice and those without, hanker for it.

Patt Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Very easy to add an oil pressure gauge: but 911 sensor - fit to engine - run wire from it to dial... not looked closely but I'm sure a standard 52mm gauge will fit in bezel. I use mine more as a clock, and will only read up on the rest when I put it on a track as I'd love to see what other data it will save and download.

Patt Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 The saleman started his BS when we sat in the car with "and the iconic clock ..." and I stopped him dead with "then why is it an expensive option? It's iconic because you are trying to make it that" end of that sales pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Iconic? Was that a spoken typo, should be ironic? Remember at least the 981 can be used as a clock. 987.1 can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I didn't realise the 987 was different ! So it's only a stopwatch and a good object to break up the dashboard a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araf Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 When I had the cruise fitted to one of ours they forgot to recode the car for Chrono and a couple of other things. I therefore think there's a good chance that it will be a software error. I doubt the stopwatch will have its own fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderclub Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I don’t have a chrono on my car but have sport mode. I think it’s the best combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
