Default 2022 Macan GTS Build advice

Hey guys, I just ordered a 2022 spec'd like this: (Please also let me know if any of the options I already added should dropped. Thanks in advance)

Gentian Blue Metallic

21" RS Spyder Design Wheels in Satin Black

Leather Package in Black/Bordeaux Red

Adaptive Sports Seats in Front (18-way)

Premium Plus Package

Seat Ventilation (front)

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

Sport Chrono Package

Power Steering Plus

Thermally and Noise Insulated Glass incl. Privacy Glass

Surround View

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Heatable Windscreen

Im also mulling over a few options that I might add:

1. Puddle Lights (Are there puddle lights standard if I dont get this one with the logo?)
2. Ionizer
3. Lane Keep Assist
4. Heated GT Steering Wheel (Not sure the difference in terms of material used or if its just a little smaller)
5. Black Aluminum Illuminated Door sills
6. Smartphone Compartment (Does it overheat your phone and if you dont get it will center console space still be taken up as if you did get this option?)

I only plan on keeping for 2 years so didnt get the full leather pack to avoid the luxury tax coming in 2022. Im not sure if its a mistake or not, would it affect trade in or resale in the future?

3. Lane Keep Assist

Wish I had passed on LKA. It is still in beta test mode, as I told my sales guy.

Drifts into the next lane when the paint line is vague, and took me off an exit when the paint line was distinct on the right.

6. Smartphone Compartment (Does it overheat your phone and if you dont get it will center console space still be taken up as if you did get this option?)

In 8600 miles since new March 2021, I have had it heat up once, on a recent road trip. Doesn't warn you in the PCM, so you don't know till you feel and look at the phone. Perhaps playing music on CarPlay and nav at the same time. The slot for phone is slim and I doubt would affect console size.

I thought they weren't taking orders yet? Do you have a build slot?

Not yet. But my dealer said I'll be on the first batch of allocations and that it will be available end of October or early November.

That's very helpful with the LKA, I didn't think it would be that bad. ill definitely leave it out then.

I would definitely add the heated gt steering wheel. Since its something your always touching and using makes a big difference compared to regular imo.

smaller diameter and all trim blackout. Doesn’t sound like much but it looks better and the smaller diameter does make a difference. Wouldn’t get a Porsche without it. I believe it’s exact steering wheel in the new 992 911.

also I would save the $1500 for Porsche PVT Plus, unless you are going to use it on track. Not really worth it for daily use on road.

Lane change assist is nice. Lane keep assist is not nice. Everything looks great to me. I'd take the GT steering wheel. It's slightly smaller in diameter to give you the feeling of tighter steering.

Lane change is basically the blindspot monitor right? Lane keep is the steering correction one or is it the one that continuously keeps you centered even through bends on the highway?
