Missing Jack?

I am embarrassed to admit that after searching for 15 minutes, I realized there is no jack in my 2009 997 (confirmed in the owner's manual). Since this is my fifth Porsche, second 997, I have known of the lack of a spare for many years. But if you have purchased a spare and think you're prepared for a roadside change. You had better bring along your own jack.

You didn't have one in your first 997 either, correct?

the jack is the same as a 944, 986, 996, 987 all with the oval hole in the jack pad
The spare is the same as a colapsable 16" for 996 which is orange 5.5 x 16 wheel

I don't know about my first 997. I never checked. Fortunately I never had the need for one.

No Jack with the 997, they give you puncture seal and a portable electric pump.

I believe that the correct spare is the 5,5 J x 17 RO 24 rim with the 185-60-17 collapsable tire.
The dealer told me that the 16" spare might screw up PASM-equipped 997 models.
