nav system
Purchased a dealer allocation 2022 boxster it has the nav and map switches when depressed message indicates nav system not available checking further I find that the nav system is only available when you purchase the 2k option which I don't have any need for. I am assuming that the hardware for the nav system is installed in the vehicle when built and would probably need some sort of software activation to be usable as a basic nav system. has anyone experienced this and found a solution I have owned several porsches over the years and never run into this problem even my wifes base model Macan has as a nav system as standard equipment. Thank you

It's not a problem, your car wasn't ordered with Nav. As far as I now, dealers can't/won't activate, but some third parties supposedly can.
I use carplay for navigation. Works better than any car system.

I always buy Nav, but mostly use CarPlay. It’s just easier. Nav is great for long trips because you can bring it up in the instrument cluster - almost as good as heads-up - but if I had an iPhone and the car didn’t have it, I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

I rarely use the in car nav. That is why I skipped that option when ordering mine. Still waiting on my car to be delivered, but I purchased a carlink adapter that adds wireless carplay to a carplay enabled car and it is working great so far in my VW SUV. The SUV has the Audi like virtual cockpit where the whole dash is the map.
