PRS 7 is on a distinguished road
Near coffee spit...full paragraph on back.

I'm seeing cars with the sport steering wheel with just P O R S C H E on back.
Could just be the way the dealer ordered them I suppose. All 4 they have are the same.
Dental floss and hair dryer time?

Congratulations!

Dental floss time in my case. Did not like the mile long "911 Carrera S" emblem. Have a simple "911S" on order

On a side note, I am really enjoying the front+rear park assist. Yes I know this technology has nothing to do with the 911 history and heritage, but it can be tough to park in SF. The visual display (ONLY if you order the front park assist!) is amazing, will show every item and its position as your car approaches obstacles. Not just rapid beeping.

The car seat is a Britax Boulevard 70. I've attached some more pix of my ride here including one of the child seat. I also included one of the wheels which I love. I also don't mind the amber side reflectors against the dark blue metallic...agree that they should swapped for clear on a PS or light colored car, though.

Sorry about the messy garage. I know I should go take some proper pix with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, etc, and I will but with 2 toddlers my free time is sporadic at best right now.

Noticed you didn't get colored wheel caps? I don't think you need them with your ext color, but what were your thoughts?

Have you felt the PDCC yet? Can't say I miss it so far. Today I turned real hard on a sharp and empty bend at about 100km/hr, but felt the car was flat enough through it.

I have a question in my thread about being able to talk hands free yet use my cell phone buttons for dialing, mesg etc.. Are you doing that by any chance?

I didn't really have an opinion about the wheel caps one way or another, Aamersa.

I'm also not sure about the PDCC...I have not driven a 991 w/out PDCC ever, so it is hard to make a comparison. This thing turns on rails, and is silky smooth in default settings, so I am just extremely satisfied. In the end I know I would be hard pressed to fully utilize the PDCC on street driving, but it appears to soften the default ride which is a benefit for taking the wife along. That may be its greatest value to me, oddly.

The car paired with my iPhone perfectly. I have not tried to use the iPhone while paired, although I would be surprised if it would not let me message. I will try it.

My dealer told me that the Porsche Junior plus is for age 3.5 to 12 years old, whereas the Porsche Junior (ISOFIX) is for age 9 months to 4 years old.
The Porsche Junior plus fits well in the 991 rear seats and can be secured with the rear seat belts of the car and 991 has built in ISOFIX at the rear seats.

I think you can also find a lot of OEM brand on the market which is cheaper than the Porsche one.

agreed. In my opinion, the best stock wheel option for the 991. Similar to a gt3 style wheel and the finish on these wheels is superb.

Could you take a picture of the park assist function that you are speaking of? Thinking of adding it to my build but I don't know if it's worth it.

Ouch Pratas that's a brutal wait! 5 months almost did me in...

@Fixed I attached a pic of the park assist display working. It updates in realtime, so as you park, the shapes and colors change. Once red is displayed, you are 12" from an object. As I understand the park assist display is only included with FRONT park assist.

Awsome! thanks. Interesting enough, park assist comes standard on the cabs (rear only) but I might have to add the front for a few hundred more.

Someone once advised me to stay away from this message board until the car was locked in and I didn't listen and so far it's costed me PSE and Front park assist
