For those previos owners of 991 911s ... do you miss the entry/drive + memory seats?

I spoke with Ian at Porsche and he confirmed that the memory feature is not on the 2015 also.

I just emailed someone at Porsche in Atlanta to give me an answer. Should here something in the morning.

I don't know what that is and I'm pretty sure no Porsche has that.

I'd be surprised, but the configurator does show a picture. Check your build sheet. Does it say 18 way with memory? A lot of us that got 14 s actually got a $2635 refund for the 18 ways since they didn't come with memory function as stated on the configurator. Porsche removed the text, but left the picture. I'm guessing they don't come with memory.

Nice, but still prefer the tilting right side mirror and park assist/camera.

I hate when I get rental cars that don't have keyless entry. I have it on my 991S, BMW, and S4 DD. This will be the only car I own where I'll need to use the key. It's usually tucked nicely in my work bag.
Turning the key and hearing the engine roar to life is part of the experience.

I'm a little confused...I get there's no keyless entry and drive and no mirror tilt-down in reverse. Do you also have to manually lock and unlock the doors (key in the door-lock each time)? No remote function on the key fob for locking and unlocking the doors?

Fingers crossed.
This makes sense and to me, explains why Porsche refunded the 18 way memory seat option price to 2014 owners.

Would be interesting to hear from 2015 owners (once their cars arrive) if that's indeed true.
I thought one 2015 owner from EU posted photos here and I didn't see memory buttons.

Will be interesting to find out because the 2015 option package never listed this function. Honestly I have only used this in my 991S I would say less than 5 times in 17 months. I rarely change my seat position. I rather have the tilt down mirror going into reverse, but I can always hit the down button(:

This is always required no matter what model or option 911 you have
