Does anyone know when did Porsche start to make the 06 model cars? June? July? Furthermore, is there any difference between a 05 and 06 model?

FWIW, mine is an 06. I think I have all the changes, but I do have a power socket in my passenger footwell. Just FYI.

 

Isn't the front child seat airbag deactivation now standard with 06?

 

It was for me.
