This is a repost, but my order is about to lock and I need to figure this out. Help is appreciated!

00481 Standard Thread i.c.w. Leather (Not in Standard Color Range)

My car is going to have full deviated stitching. This is a $0 option that is not currently checked off. I have no idea what this option means. Can anyone shed some light?

Deviated stitching is when the threads on your seats or dashboard are in a different color than the leather material itself. Most common colors are red or silver. Other colors are available for extra cost. Most of the high end and limited release cars have this option.

So I have all the deviated stitching options with color selected (pebble grey). The order went through, but neither the SA or I know what this option means. It's a $0 option and there is no explanation.

Your sa needs remedial training. The visible stitching in the leather between seems is going to be pebble gray in color.

Or maybe he should have called PE to find out before telling you he had no idea.
I would be mortified.

Maybe I need the remedial training, b/c I can't get it through my thick skull...

My intention is to get pebble grey deviated stitching - and I know what that is.

What happens if I don't have this $0 option, "00481 Standard Thread i.c.w. Leather (Not in Standard Color Range)" clicked off?

As I have it, with all deviated options clicked and this one option NOT clicked, will I still get pebble grey deviated stitching throughout? What does clicking this option get me?

I hate being dense like this, but I don't get it.

Might need to cancel the whole stitching thing if I can't get an answer.

it's okay for a consumer to not understand. This does sound confusing.... best thing to do is clearly ask your question in an email and have your service SA respond in writing. If an answer is " I don't know" and he takes no initiative to find out then your trust has already been violated.

Think it's a default when all other deviating is checked, you should be good, some of those don't show up on the configurator.

Thanks. I just don't want it to be one of those stupid things like "voice control" which is a zero cost option but provides a key feature.

There is pending correspondence with PE. Just don't want it to lock incorrectly.

Have your SA walk thru your order with Exclusive on the phone. That is what I did to make sure all stitch on my graphite chalk was in chalk color thru the car. Usually when you see these five digit codes rather then 3 letters it's some type of additional box to check in conjunction with another option. My deviated steering column stitch also had a 5 digit code but was 80 bucks not free. You likely need to tick this box but I'm not going to say for sure as I have never seen that option or code before.

I think you should call the P Exclusive group yourself. I would not rely on the SA for this. I got deviated carpet in my car and my SA did not know it was even possible. You don't want to not know what you are getting.

I agree you want to double check with your SA in writing and get a response in writing. That way if you don't get what you want, you can have a discussion about it. As to voice control, I read about that issue on this forum and checked with my SA (in writing) 3 times asking him to confirm that my car will have the "option". He says it is not an option on NA cars (Canada, anyway) and my car will have it without him needing to tick any special boxes. That is not what has been reported by one person contributing on this forum. I feel lie I've gone as far as I can go with my SA on the point though. Its not like I couldn't live without it though. You might not feel the same about incorrect stitching though.

There should be a "don't forget these options" thread with all the common ordering mistakes like not changing the tach if you get custom dial colors, forgetting to put the crest on the seats, leaving the ugly black wheels on the GTS, forgetting sunroof delete, leaving out SPASM, etc.

kayjh

I don't get the whole crest on the headrests thing. I think the car says Porsche in enough places. I never forget I'm in a Porsche even without the headrest reminder.

It's essentially the code for stitch to sample.
