Since our Macan was dealer-optioned without a factory fire extinguisher, I'd very much like to retrofit one. I've installed a HALON unit in front of the passenger seat on a generic mount but, to my wife's disdain, it takes up some leg room. I've looked at the parts diagram but it really doesn't make much sense. If some kind soul would take a couple of pics, one of the mount w/o the extinguisher installed and one with it installed, I'd be most appreciative.

Did a quick Google Image Search and found this.... makes sense IMHO.

That's a help, BossHoss. Would still like to see a close-up pic of the mount itself w/o the fire extinguisher installed so I can see how the mount attaches to the seat base. EDIT: After researching some more, I find that the Porsche-supplied fire extinguisher is so small that, in all probability, would not be effective and that it's a dry chemical type which pretty much destroys any surface it hits. I think I'll just stick with my 2.5 lb. HALON unit and will just have to bear with the universal mount that limits the final few inches of forward movement of the passenger seat.

If it would be of any help I would be happy to take pics. of the mount on my GT3. The mount is screwed into the front of the seat frame just below the seat.

Thanks for the offer but the GT3 seat mount is different from the Macan. Our Macan has a little trap door that swings open for storage. To mount a FE, the seat would have to come out, remove the front panel and trap door, then install the FE mount hardware that costs about $150. Add to that the cost of the anemic Porsche-specific FE which, for some unknown reason, is nowhere to be found on the parts list. As I mentioned above, I'm just going to stick with my 2.5 lb. HALON unit.
