Default PDF version of the owners manual for the Spyder/GT4?
I would appreciate having a PDF copy of the Spyder's owners manual, not an app but a page by page copy to read, not only for reference but to help pass the time while waiting for my car to arrive.

Anybody have a source for this?

Thanks!

Well even though they may have been available in the past it would seem that Porsche has chosen not to make them available now.

Below is from a different forum and was posted 2 days ago as a result of an inquiry for 2019 Cayman owners manual.

Thank you for contacting Porsche Cars North America in regard to your Cayman and the Owner's Manual.

We appreciate your feedback on the iManuals website, and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please know, while we do not have PDF versions available, you can now access the owners manual from the Porsche Good to Know app. It is available for free in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact us by email or by calling 1-800-PORSCHE. We are available Monday through Friday, 8AM to 9PM EST.

I took a look at the app. Their OM hasn’t been updated to cover the Spyder yet it appears.

Still about 7 or 8 weeks until my Spyder arrives. Does any lucky owner have a manual that they can electronically share with those of us still playing the waiting game?

I too would like a pdf copy, but for an owner to do it properly you would have to cut the paper manual apart so the pages lay flat, clearly a lot to ask.

Not sure why Porsche restricts it in this format.

A pdf copy of the sales brochure (book) would be cool too.

^ No prob. I have the hard copy of this exact sales brochure I received at the LA auto show. I wonder if potential GT4 owners called
Porsche maybe they would send you one. Not a lot of people want to go into dealers right now because of Covid.

Agreed... way too much to ask. But a bunch of cellphone camera photos would give us something to read while we wait. I know its probably a lot of pages to flip and click...

On a similar token, has anyone found the online parts catalog/diagram for the 718 GT4? I found the regular 982 base models but not the GT4.

Thanks so much for the link. Every time I email my dealer for an update on my order I ask if they have the hard copy books yet as I would go in person to pick it up and read while I wait, but apparently they haven’t received any at all.

Does anyone else have a hard copy book? Just curious if other dealers have them?

Perhaps just a little early for this to filter out, I am sure the dealers parts departments have their PET already... This too would be nice to have.
