Default How to spec Carrera T with Back Seats?

The press releases say the back seats are optional but the catalogue says:
"What do we mean exactly? Soundproofing hasbeen reduced to the bare minimum, the rear screen and rear side windows are made of lightweight glass. Rear seats have been completely omitted." The car configurator doesn't have rear seats listed as an option. The only reference I see is the footnote for the Full Bucket Seats option. I definitely need the back seats for occasional kid-hauling duties. How can I be sure my 911T order includes them?

Here is my build order for reference - no mention of back seats:

If you want back seats, simply do not get bucket seats. Bucket seats remove the rear seats where every other seat option maintains the rear seats.

Default Option 685

On the Configurator, go to ‘Interior’, scroll down to the bottom and tick ‘Rear seats’. This will add option code 685 to your spec. At least it does for me.

Lucky ROW. In the US, you can’t remove them without getting the bucket seats.

I have Burmester and sure as heck wouldn't spend the money on it (bought mine used). I'd get Bose and spend the money elsewhere.

The press release from Porsche USA http://press.porsche.com/news/release.php?id=1053 says
When ordered with the optional Full Bucket Seats (available on a 911 Carrera model for the first time), rear seats are deleted.

Standard is acceptable. I would agree to spend the extra $2k to $3k on performance options or upgraded interior.
Would I like to have the Burmester, yes of course! But if budget is a concern, might be better spent elsewhere.

I'd go a step further and skip Bose, it's a garbage option too. The "Fender" audio system in my $40k Golf R sounds better.

Congrats on the 911 T OP!
