Yes. That is the car. A couple interesting points for potential buyers of tne Canadian car.
1. It has NO USB port in tne glove compartment.
2. Tne sound quality from tne base radio is poor....Since I didn’t buy it to listen to music I’m ok with this issue.

My Canadian car has the USB port. My sound quality might be poor but it’ll be the same radio as the US. They’re the same cars

Congratulations! How was the weather/roads? I’m guessing you just beat the snow.

Good question! I was trying to time the weather. The dealer made me sign a legal disclaimer when I picked up the car.
Calgary had light snow on tne ground. I was nervous the first 45 miles with highway a bit slippery. Once south of Highriver roads were bare. Crowsnest Highway was sunny 40 degrees and clear skies!!!! Definitely lucked out on weather!!!!

Thank you! I was unaware the USB was an upgrade. I always have had one in all my Porsches.

Congratulations ! can't beat a GT Porsche in White- more pics when you get a chance even though we all know what they look like it always adds a new level of context .

Cheers and enjoy it.

If you want Bluetooth audio on the base audio (base audio only has BT for phone calls, not for audio from music/nav), you can easily install this in your glove compartment: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13691126/JL-Audio-MBT-RX.html?awkw=79438365495&awat=pla&awnw=g&awcr=65372638345&awdv=c&awug=90 61285&gclid=CjwKCAiAqOriBRAfEiwAEb9oXYXClaFS_gO6Rjb_J6xfCN6LU5rAgssRynUp F6tX6b-cJzaZHtHJeBoCZ-UQAvD_BwE

Then, to listen to the BT audio, you'll just need to put your PCM on the AUX input.

The audio system and radio are a joke.
Only to be used for listening to AM news and Sports Talk radio.
