Only on air cooled cars so you can confirm it is activated by the smell of burned Castrol thru the heater ducts...

How can you retrofit it? I've got a MY14 and wish I had configured my car with it. The name turned me off to it.

I had the cubby replaced with custom controls for a radar detector. I'm actually happy that I didn't have the smoking package.

I agree. It shouldn't even be an option.

But it DOES sort out the people who obsessively pine over every single option here on RL from the general public.

Actually my car isn't an "Option Queen," C4S. No sunroof, no Sport Chrono, base seats. Only PDK buttons on the steering wheel and full leather. It does have PSE though. Getting the Ashtray was a big step for me however.
