My first Porsche+ questions

My first ever Porsche will be delivered to me this week after 5 and half month wait(or 45 years)!

My spec is:

911 Carrera S
Agate Grey Metallic
PDK
Sports Plus seats in black leather
Sports Chrono package
Park Assist front and rear
PSE
Multi Function steering wheel
Rev counter in black No cost
Power steering plus
Bluetooth mobile phone prep
Floor Mats
Coloured wheel caps
PASM No cost
20" Carrera Sport wheel No cost

Price locally: $ 160 500.

We do not get PCM standard with the car and this is a $5000 option so I decided to omit this option.

The radio is the standard DR-31 with sound system plus. I cannot believe that Porsche AG don't supply this with a USB port but 3.5mm Aux only. Even the $11000 korean cars come standard with USB here in South Africa.

Firstly does anyone have the standard system and is it possible to stream music via bluetooth on this system?

Secondly, I see that very few opt for the TPMS system although this should be a standard fitment considering the spare wheel issue as well as picking up early that you may have a puncture. Is there any chance of retrofitting this in the future?

Will post pics when she arrives this week.

Firstly, a big congratulations! You must be psyched. Enjoy the collection and the entire experience.

$160k yikes!.... I guess the tax/duty is a whopping amount of that.

No PCM included as standard for SA? Crazy! You'd think for that sort of money they'd make it standard.

TPMS is standard on US spec cars as it is a legal requirement. Apart from that I think it's a must have option in a vehicle. Especially in a high performance car.

Enjoy your new car. Be safe.
