1). Raise the rear spoiler by turning on the ignition key and pressing the 'Spoiler' button.
2). Remove all seven T-20 Torx Screws from under the front edge of the spoiler. (I highly recommend a Skew-Driver for this task.)

Removing the Sport Chrono Stopwatch Housing
1. Slip a plastic protector between the rear of the stopwatch housing and the dash top. I made one out of a plastic water bottle ($0.05). This will protect the leather / plastic surface from scratches.
2. Slip a plastic wedge pry tool in between the layers of the protector and pry the back of the stop watch housing up. The housing is held down by 4 metal friction clips. Once the back two clips release, just rotate the housing and the...

1. Remove the carpeted center console cover panel using a T-30 Torx driver on the screw that is hidden beneath the carpeting.

What??? A torque converter in a Porsche you say?! Well I have one of those and all the Porsche dealer service techs I've talked to claim that the ATF fluid in the tiptronic transmission is a "lifetime" fluid and the flush interval/filter change is 108K miles or 12 years whichever comes first.
