Tell me more. Does Spotify have trial subscription? Does it have high quality, lossless sound?

I wrapped my rennline mount in black Alcantara today.

Unfortunately, Spotify still doesn’t have lossless. If you have Spotify Premium like me and you go into the Spotify app settings for audio quality, and set it to the highest level (“very high”) which is equivalent to 320 kbps. It’s a shame because CD quality is 1411 kbps. Spotify announced it’ll come out with HiFi res quality a couple years ago but it’s still delayed. Apple Music offers very high quality (even higher than CD quality): Apple Music Lossless (24-bit/48kHz) and Hi-Res Lossless (up to 24-bit/192kHz). For context, CD quality is 16-bit/44.1kHz. I have both Spotify and Apple Music but my playlists are on Spotify and I’m too lazy to switch it all over to Apple! But when in the 911, I try to use the integrated Apple Music and ask “Hey Porsche” to play “whatever” on Apple Music so I get the higher qualify (by the way you have to go into the Apple Music settings on your iPhone and make sure you select the lossless quality otherwise it makes no difference).
On my last note (and now I’m really on a rant): too many people are streaming low-quality audio (heck the Spotify settings default to “normal” at 96kbps) on high-end stereo systems, be it Bose, Burmester, or otherwise and not realizing that you only get out what you put in… Put in very low quality audio (a fraction of old CD quality) and don’t expect to get premium high definition sound!
But what happens when you take that thing off one day? Won’t it damage the piano black piece or leave a bad residue?

There’s no world where you, me, or anybody else is going to be able to discern the difference between 320kbps and lossless in an automotive environment unless you are sitting in a quiet garage with the ignition off doing A/B testing on your Burmester. Even then, 9/10 ppl won’t be able to tell a difference in controlled listening, so don’t worry about it.
(and yeah I’ve been two channel audiophile for 40 years, but when I’m in my 992 the only soundtrack I care about is Ing. Ferdinand’s ‘Flat 6 Symphony’ in G-minor’).

I “kind of” disagree. With a system like the Burmester in the car on the road with volume up is where I notice the lack of quality input the most. Not saying it’s ever going to be an awesome listening environment (far far from) but system and input quality do make a difference.

I just installed the rennline phone holder. Aside from the cig lighter power socket in the passenger footwell and the 2 USB-c plugs in the armrest, is there an alternate such as in the glove box? I didn't see another option. Where are you guys plugging in?

I have a 90 deg usb c cable so it just routes straight back. I can’t see it when my phone is attached. Pic a few posts up.

I just bought the Rennline mount to use with my existing MagSafe charger. i did not want to go through the hassle of removing the trim piece and was hoping that I could just remove the left side torx from the glove box to give me enough space the slide it in and stick it in place. I did a "dry fit" without exposing the adhesive tape and without removing that torx screw. It actually slid in fine and is in there nice and snug.. So for now, I am just leaving it like that.

This was a good suggestion, I did the same and worked great.
One reason I wanted to stop using the spot under the armrest, which would otherwise be the most convenient, was that my phone was getting far too hot in there. To the point where I saw for the first time the thermal warning.

Thanks in advanced!

I drive this way all the time with my phone plugged into the USB-C port. My iPhone never over heats. Does the overheating happen to you after many hours of driving?

However, I think it's Apple CarPlay just running it at a high usage, because it when it's not in the arm rest I notice it being very warm, too.
The arm rest would just trap radiant heat. Honestly, I think it's fine.
