I found my two Spyders by VIN. What should I do if the options are not correct? Missing many of the options on my two.

dpod4

I have build sheets I can forward if that would help.

The build sheets are controlled by Porsche and should be accurate. Only time they do not specifically list what the options are is with CXX options.

What options are missing?

dpod4

18 way heated seats, PDLS, auto dim mirrors/rain sensor, bose infotainment, light design, reversing camera. Number 304, vin ending in 2374. Checked other one and it is accurate. This one isn't.

Huh... Your VIN doesn't show your spec via the Dealer Build website:

Are you the original buyer? Or was it a 918 Spyder program car? If so this could be why all the info is missing.

n4v4nod

Is this a printed build sheet from the dealer? Printed??? It may be because the dealer printed an earlier spec, which was later updated. As mentioned earlier, your VIN does not show up within the Porsche VIN online builder. Indicating you are or the original buyer is a 918 Spyder owner buying the car via the 918 Spyder Purchase Program.

Window sticker with vin printed on it in Porsche dealer showroom. Delivered and never left dealer before I bought it. I can show pics of options on it (18 way seats) that are not showing here.

I'm confused... I see every option you state is missing on the window sticker:
-Reversing Camera
-Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18 way)
-Automatically Dimming Mirrors With Integrated Rain Sensor
-Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
Or do you mean your window sticker has options your Spyder does not?
Please clarify.

I think dpod4 is saying that he has identified his two Spyders in the database associated with this thread (based on VIN) and the database doesn't accurately reflect certain options that came on one of his cars. I think he is asking how the database can be amended to reflect those options so the entry for his car is accurate - - at least that's how I interpreted his inquiry . . . .

n4v4nod

Ha! That makes sense. I was over thinking this.
Surprise that the database even had anything for the spec.... As the Porsche online build shows it blank... Maybe it was built from the dealer website? Or autotrader.com? Which would explain the lack of accuracy. Dpod4 my apologies for my confusion.

dpod4

No worries. Sorry I was not more clear.

Hi dpod4,
if I understood you correctly, you bought your silver Spyder directly out of the showroom from the dealer. As the respective Build Sheet is not in the Porsche Dealer Data Base, someone "opted out" and did not release the Build Sheet. As Navanod already stated, one reason could have been that the car was an original 918 Spyder program car. But it seems that also dealers can select to "not listing" the car in the dealer data base. There were several cases already that rennlist fellows (which are no 918 owners) stated VINs here, which are not listed.
So, could you perhaps ask your dealer why your silver Spyder does not show up on the data base? This insight information would help s2ktaxi and us a lot to understand the "magic" of the build sheet data base :-). Thanks in advance!

appreciate the help but am almost wishing i hadn't even flagged this as an issue. If there is a database, i expect it to be accurate. My carrara white spyder which was sold to me via a porsche dealer with a clear demarcation of options is not reflected accurately in the database on this site. If the database is tied to noncurrent info that is a good clarification. But if the database is held out as current it is not reflecting most of the options my car came with. It flags the fire extinguisher but doesn't account for major options like 18 way seats, PDLS, light design, etc.
