No smoking package and iphone
Hi all. Does anybody have, or can they take, a photo of the non-smoking package storage cubby with their phone in it? Does an iPhone X or iPhone 11 (non max) fit?
sorry, I can’t tell from what I’ve read on line.
the smoking package seems to make a semi-useless storage space into a totally useless one?

It is too small to fit your phone for sure. While I am fine with that since I put mine in the arm rest to plug in for car play, the non smokers package cubby is so small that it is useless. I would personally have preferred to have the ash tray, so that I could at least use it to store some emergency gas money out of site.

Hmm, car play is not wireless?

No it is not.
They do have a USB port and some sort of cell/antenna booster inside the arm rest though. It works great for me and I love that it is completely out of sight, no wires anywhere, when using it. It is however a bit of a pain to always remember to remove it when exiting the car.
Of course you can use the phone and play music over bluetooth wirelessly, just not Car Play.

Not sure if there are other options for Apple Car Play, but I do plug mine into the USB port to make it work.

I believe the new 911 comes with a wireless car play option, which I assume would be offered throughout the models at some point in the near future.

That’s disappointing. My cheapie 2 year old BMW has wireless car play. I tried putting my phone in the armrest today for a trial, and forgot it twice.
So it sounds like even if my phone could fit in the non-smoker’s package cubby, I wouldn’t be using it much because I’d have it plugged in for car play.
If that’s the case, is the phone holder option useful?

I am not sure, as I don't know what the phone holder option is. Others may be able to chime on that one. I personally hate having the phone mounted anywhere visible in a vehicle, which is why car play is so desirable for me.

This option. I assume it goes in the center armrest.

My S4 tells you "Your cell phone is still in the car" if you open the door with your phone still plugged in. Porsche's don't do that? I can't count how many times I would have left my phone in the car without that . . . considering the walk to my office from the parking lot is pretty long, that's a key feature for me . . .
