My order is in
What a great surprise... Dealer called today with an opportunity to move up to a build with an estimated Jan 10,2014 delivery date and I just came back from finalizing the order.
I was originally scheduled for a 2014 4th Qtr build, now I'll be set for spring next year. Here are my options.

I got my call today for my December build. Congrats to you as well 
In another thread people were talking about the no cost options we needed for Blue Tooth, something about an extra 12v source and maybe one other thing. I need to send over my build can someone list out that those options were?

Oh, and in case you want a leather steering wheel instead of one covered in Alcantera, you need to specify the Sport Design Steering Wheel option 840. And the extended range fuel tank option 082. All of these are $0 options.

Something is going on with Porsche. I was originally told I had a second quarter 2014 build allocation. Today received a call that I now have a December 2013 delivery early Feb 2014. I had to have my order in today or tomorrow. Just completed it.
Mike, after an extensive discussion with my sales rep I decided not to get the PCCB's. Never get your money back from them and expensive replacement issues. The bottom line was that Porsche factory brakes are terrific certainly more than enough for my use.
BTW, I understand that option 619 populates automatically.

Congrats, ToyGuy. You need the Mobile Phone Prep option 619 to insure that your cell phone will work with Bluetooth in the car. As to the extra 12v source I think you're referring to the Smoking Package option 583. Without it you have an open cubby in the console. With it you get a cover over that opening and a cigarette lighter which of, course, doubles as a 12v socket.

I am suspecting some are willing to wait for the sports seats which may be available in the first or second quarter next year.

The PCCB decision is a personal one and I understand where you're coming from. As you know, my sales rep tried to talk me out of it too, but my Porsche friend at Weissach, a conversation with Hurley Haywood in Monterey, and various reviews by Pete Stout and others convinced me to go for them. From your posts it seems you turn cars over rather frequently. I bought my 3.2 Carrera new and kept it for 14 years; I think this car will be a keeper too so resale isn't a big concern. It's not that the standard brakes wouldn't have been great, I just decided I wanted the PCCB's. I get excited every time I see pics of them. And no dust!
TEHO.As for option 619 populating automatically, if true that's a change. It definitely didn't on my order and my rep had to check on it with Porsche to validate it was needed and then add it himself.

Mike, I am still agonizing over whether to get the PCCB's (I believe I still have a couple of days). Rationally, I say for everyday use the difference between the two brakes are marginal. Porsche has always had terrific steel brakes. Yet, those in the "know" swear by them. I concluded for my needs, steel brakes are more than satisfactory. Then again, I may change my mind tomorrow.
