Very nice.

You can see Audi's influence on the interior design.

Got mine from Sonnen. Felt like they took care of me from beginning to end with my cayman.

My cayman was really reliable so I didn't have to go in often in 14.5k miles, but they were great when I had to. I can walk to them so they wash my car too. Good guys.

Thanks again everyone. As much torture as it may be, I imagine custom ordering a car is one of the great joy's in life.

Here's a couple more updates. You can change the key to unlock all doors with one click (see pic). I did find a new issue. I was parallel parked on narrow one way street here in SF when a Harley drove by in full Friday afternoon rumble. It set my alarm off. I tried to look find a way to desensitize the alarm but no luck, at least without the manual.

Was there still a problem unlocking it with 2 clicks? I've heard people saying that.

Not sure if it's a bad program, user error or both. Whatever it is, it doesn't work smoothly. I'm used to unlocking bother doors with one push with my cayman. I believe the problem is that the cayenne requires two immediate back to back button pushes to unlock the passenger doors. If you push it once, pause long enough to realize the passenger door is still locked, than push the button again, the delay is long enough to not activate the passenger to open. At least I'm able to switch it to open unlock all doors with one click now.

Beautiful, good luck with it. Mine rolled off the assembly line Thursday so I have three or four weeks before I get to pick mine up.

New thing I learned. Radio including XM presets are tied to seat memory. Good idea unless you're not aware of it. After spending all the time to preset your stations, don't forget to update your seat memory or else they get wiped when you push one of your preset buttons. Make sure to do it for both seat memory buttons which gets a little tricky if your seating position is way different then whoever else uses the other preset button.
