Guys,
I need some help. I want dimmable rear and side view mirrors. It appears that the only way to get this is to order the conveinence package. Right now, my spec includes PCM with Nav and heated front and rear seats.

If I select the conveinence package- which includes PCM with Nav, heated front seats, and dimmable rear and side mirrors, then how do I select heated rear seats? That doesn't appear as a stand alone option, and if I select heated front and rear seats as a stand alone option- I am paying for the heated front seats twice! Help!!!

Thanks in advance

you can get the dimmable mirrors as a stand alone option - option code PA2 - under the exterior options.

Good man! Thank you. Second question... by adding this, it is actually a better deal to just get the conveinence package because you get the xenon headlights for free this way. So... is there a way to add the conveinence package and get rear heated seats without paying twice for the front seat heat? In other words, is heated rear seats a stand alone option?

I'm pretty sure that you can't. I ordered the premium package on my V6 Cayenne which includes the parking sensors. I also wanted the reversing camera but was told by the dealer that I'd have to pay the full $1750 to upgrade -- not the $655 difference between the sensors ($1095) and the sensors and rear view camera ($1750). As the camera was not a dealbreaker for me I did not push the dealer on this issue.

If I were you I'd go for the convenience package -- the xenon lights are pretty sweet, and how often will you be sitting in the back seat? ;-) throw a blanket in the back seat for your guests.

I reconfigured my build and by adding the convenience package, I get the dimmable mirrors, front seat heat, PCM with Nav and xenons for less than ordering seat heat and PCM/nav and dimmable mirrors as stand alones. So the xenons ($1850 option) are free. I will never ride in the back. So I guess the kids will have to freeze! I'm not going to pay $1k for rear seat heating.

its fun to find the freebies and tricks in the options.. the standard headlights were bright, i wonder how much better the xenon's are.. do they turn? i think the xenon's are the ones with the LED's on the corners? (saw on turbo)

since you have heated seats now and 18 way are you adding ventilated seats? thats hands down the best option in the book, but since i have 8 way and no heated its like 3k to add and not worth 3k.. worth like 1k

Not doing the ventilated seats. I haven't tried them, but I need to stop somewhere.

I didn't care about ventilated seats until my testdrive on a 95-degree day. Now I can't live without them...

understandable, im glad my order is locked in... otherwise i would have probably added 10k.
