ModeLock PLM1, PLM2, and PLM3 Saves the User’s Current Drive Mode Settings for the Next Time the Vehicle is Started
CHICAGO, Oct. 17, 2025 – Mid City Engineering, a leading provider of innovative accessories for the luxury vehicle market since 1999, today announced the release of ModeLock™, a new series of drive mode memory modules designed for select Porsche models.
The ModeLock module bypasses Porsche’s factory default of starting vehicles in “Normal” drive mode, allowing drivers to start every trip with their preferred performance settings.
“Porsche vehicles automatically start up in ‘Normal’ drive mode by default,” explained Dan Ruby, owner of Mid City Engineering. “The driver can change those parameters, but the vehicle won’t remember them for the next drive. ModeLock saves the driver’s preferred settings, so the car is always ready to go exactly the way you want it.”
ModeLock modules are designed for simple installation in the driver’s side kick panel and require only four connections: power, ground, CAN high, and CAN low.
- ModeLock PLM1(MSRP: $279) – Porsche 911 (MY 2023–2025)
- ModeLock PLM2(MSRP: $279) – Porsche Cayenne (MY 2022–2025)
- ModeLock PLM3(MSRP: $279) – Porsche Macan (MY 2025)
“Why not drive your Porsche the way you want to and hear that engine the way it’s meant to sound when you start it?” Ruby added. “With ModeLock, your Porsche is always ready with your chosen settings.”
Mid City Engineering will be confirming additional Porsche compatibility, with more applications expected in the coming weeks.
