Porsche used to put the Option sticker inside the trunk, but stopped that practice a few years back. Check in the inside front cover of your Maintenance Manual.
Is there another way to get the options list?
Our CPO 06 Cab didn't have the books with the car, they got me a new set.
Why the Hell don't people leave trhe damn books in the car...
Contact Porsche USA and order a Certificate of Authenticity.
There is a charge for it. If you can't find a link online ask your dealer.
I did this with a previous car. The COA will list all ordered options with the car as well as the serial numbers for the engine and tranny.
Unfortunately, the Cert. of Authenticity are often in error. These cars have SO many options available that even Porsche seems to have trouble keeping up with it.
Try going to your dealer and ask them to burn off a copy of the options per the VIN. They HAVE to know an exact list of paid options so that they can be sure to plug in the right codes. (Ask me how I know).
All Porsche dealers have access to the database that contains that information. Call your dealer and ask the service writer (or manager, whom ever has the access) to please pull your Vehicle Information from the PPN database. It's super easy to do, and they *shouldn't* charge you for it
Edit: A few years ago, Porsche started shipping the option labels unattached to the car. Actually, they just toss the label in the glove compartment now. During the PDI, we are supposed to be affixing them to the inside of the Maintenance Manual, as gota911 said.
