Sounds like Harry's Lap Timer had something to do with this since the phone is an integral part

looks like you know have to pay extra for bluetooth, instead of it being a free option?

Can't tell if the dashboard wart comes with sport chrono

The configurator shows a 1/4 mile time of 7.5 seconds. Forget the track, I'm taking that puppy to the DRAG STRIP!

lol--7.5 second quarter mile ET should put her somewhere upwards 190 MPH trap speed so the GT3 ought to be advertised as a car that reaches vmax in the quarter mile. I've never heard of that other than in top fuel dragsters!

More on the Sport Chrono package including Porsche Track Precision app, preset laptrigger at this link. It was in German, so I loaded into Google Chrome browser where it allows you to translate. It's pretty much what has been posted.

I think BT phone option (tele module w/BT handset) listed for $695 is for a separate car phone, right? I imagine BT for cell is still included.

Agreed.

BT is standard. Cost options are for module that allows insertion of Sim and another option for a BT handset.

This is really turning into a cluster****. I had ordered Basalt, then my production got delayed enough to make my car a 2015, then Basalt is off the menu, nearest is Jet. I don't like Jet. Going to dealer today to discuss my options. I'm thinking a free custom color (Basalt!!) is in order...

Are you sure? The way I read the new options, the $265 "Telephone Module" is needed for Bluetooth. The description says it allows a SIM card to be inserted, and allows connection with either SAP or HFP via Bluetooth.

Also, nothing listed under the PCM or Sound Package Plus options mentions Bluetooth. It says the Universal Audio Interface is included, but no mention of Bluetooth.

I think Porsche just found another way to squeeze some extra money from customers.

Wow. If so, that's horrible.

I had assumed that the zero cost "Mobile Phone Prep" that was needed for BT was standard now, after so many complaints of the confusing nature of that "option."

Best to clarify with the dealer...but that's been hit or miss too...

I really think it's included now and not an option. The telephone option is for the ability to insert a sim card which is popular in Europe.

Exactly. I spoke with my dealer today regarding the matter, and suggested that we go with Paint to Sample, Basalt, and I not be charged for the Paint to Sample, since it's certainly not my fault that I won't be delivered a 2014 car, as ordered. The dealer agreed, so that's what we're going for... Let's see what happens.
