Switching to tip while driving
When switching over to tip, is it ok to do while moving? Ive never done it and have always completely stopped the car when I switch it over, was just curious if its okay to do and wondered if it would cause wear and tear
I fix cars.

It'll be fine. It will just "start" from the current gear the car is in.

Yup do it all the time in our Pegueot, also a Porsche Geat box like the FTO.
It's perfectly fine to do so while driving

Yep! Cruising on highway, switch to tip, downshift 2 gears, and gun it!
