I debated getting the thermally insulated glass...BUT rumor has it that it will interfer with your radar detector and easy pass...critical for me on the PA Turnpike! Anybody able to refute this from personal experience?

I put the toll tag in the sun roof to get around the "blocking" that supposedly takes place in the windshield. I didn't even try the windshield mount, honestly, because it didn't work in a Cayenne turbo with the insulated glass and I solved the problem there with the sunroof mount. The insulated glass is a very desirable option in hot climates and the sound proofing enhancements that go along with it make for a much quieter ride. The disadvantage? You have to roll down the windows to hear the sport exhaust.

It will absolutely kill radar detection. Tested and confirmed.

owners manual states that the thermal glass has a thermal free zone dead center on upper margin to facillitate this matter

guys - the ski bag is the only cheap way to get the 40/20/40 rear seat split.
the 60/40 you are ordering doesn't let you do a pass through with 2 passengers - given it is a 2 seater in the rear, you will always be stuck with just 1 passenger in the back if you need to take anything long

Some insight guys please.
I am looking at a basalt black/black/carbon fiber Turbo.
The dealer is motivated to move it because it has Ceramic Brakes, but the guy who spec'd it out did not get BlueTooth or XM radio.
1. Do the PCCB raise an eyebrow for costs down the road, or is this mostly a non-issue given their durability and wear patterns with normal road use.
2. Would the trade in value be killed without BlueTooth and XM?
otherwise it has:
1. Vent/heated seats
2. painted difuser and apron
3. 20" RS wheels for the PCCB
4. sport chrono for turbo
5. couple other minor doo-dads

I think you can easily add either. not sure but you could have them add it to the car. At least the blue tooth. Tookie?
