Trick/Cool Features of the Turbo?

A good friend just got a a 997 Turbo, he's not an enthusiast per say, but I thought I'd help him out by passing along cool features.
Is there any hidden features of the car?
Launch Control Codes?

Circular device in front of him gives the general direction of the car.

The lever with a knob on top mounted to the center console allows him to change gears.

We're just getting started here.
Wait until we start talking about secret compartments and huge gap in the body where you're supposed to look through ...

LOL! What about the secret luggage compartment under the hood?

In all seriousness, I would like to learn if there's any unusual features most do not know how to use, for example, I have the phone module in my turbo but I've never used it. I don't know if I just need to get another SIM and pop it in there. I wonder if AT&T can have dual SIM cards, one for my iPhone and one for the turbo.

The car will not run without gas.

Here's one that usually takes a year to figure out: the Sport Chrono clock swivels left and right,....for reasons which are completely mysterious.

There's a little pull knob where the passenger door open which can open the fuel tank lid if it is broken.

If you put the headlights on at the turbo's maximum speed, you will need to put the auto dimming rear view mirrors ON.

This is what I'm talking about! I don't get the headlights feature though...
