Congrats! You can always add an AM back-up cam if you're so inclined. There are a number of threads on RL about this mod, IIRC.

As you see on the photos I loaded I have a couple very small scratches on the plastic dummy buttons under the sports and suspension mode. Any way to replace these back to mint?

Hilarious!

Very nicely optioned "drivers car"! Congrats. Don't see many bases optioned like that. Will be a fun car.

You just posted 10 hours ago with questions, when did you buy it?

Congrats and welcome to the club. My interior is similar, which brings up two questions:

1) I saw a car this weekend with the sports steering wheel,it looked more silver than brushed aluminum. Will it look proper with the brushed aluminum trim (would certainly be interested of a pic if you replace your steering wheel for the Sports Wheel).

2) Has anyone found any useful purpose for the little square pocket in between the console buttons and the console glovebox?

STG

It's useless! I replaced mine with the smokers version with the clean looking lid. Easy, and not too expensive.

I really want to upgrade to the sports steering while. So since its NON multi function it will not have any effect at all on steering or the adaptive headlights? No electric components here aside from the airbag?

STG

Yours is an even easier swap like you mentioned. Make sure to get the right version though. Go for it. I'd call Luke at Sunset Porsche parts in Oregon for a quote. Have the dealer install then.

Thank you stg991. And this swap won't void anything on my warranty correct?

STG

No!!!!!

Have the dealer do it though. Not worth risking anything with an airbag in my opinion.

Jamvr10

Yes for sure doing it at a dealer. The standard wheel is just too thin for my liking. I do like the all black....but this car needs a more substantial wheel imo.

STG991: is this a very simple dyi? Or did dealer do it?

STG

It's a simple DIY. I had the dealer do it because was in for a bunch of other work. Only thing though, I did not have them connect power to it. The tech was pretty conservative and didn't want to tap into an existing power supply for it. There is not an existing power supply there like there would be if ordering it from the factory.

I didn't care about power there anyway, and didn't push it. Have the footwell power for the charger anyway, and the glove box USB for phone charging.

I had a very similar spec 3.4 and loved it. Did the same test drive vs. the S and apart from a bit of extra shove down low, the upper rev range felt very similar. The 3.4 sounds better and I felt the responsiveness of the engine was better in the smaller unit.

Congrats and enjoy!
