For anyone interested in this option I was told by the Porsche Customer Consultations that it will be added to the configurator in November. This will make it much easier to order a Beige interior and get the black dash to avoid the glare issues.

Of course this now pushes my order into November which means I probably will not have my new car until February, maybe, March - ouch!

I suppose the longer I wait the more I will appreciate it when it gets here...

 

... you can order now ... to get a delivery in February ... and change your order in November ... changes should be possible until December for your delivery date .....

I Great info! Thanks for finding that out. I am wondering if there will be any TSB or similar for those who have already purchased without Black Dash...

 

For some reason the Dealer didn't want to do this - it is pretty complicated to get all of the parts right...

 

... change the dealer ... that´s easy

 

I would guess not since Porsche views this as a color/cosmetic option. But maybe you can bring this up as a safety concern.

 

I would tend to agree with this,....and if you want it done really right you have to order more leather items then typically necessary on a bi-color interior to make it all flow,....and that is more $$$

If you really want a properly done bi-color interior wait if all possible for Porsche to offer it. It will look totally correct and cost less.

 

You are exactly right on the cost. The estimate was $5,000 to hand spec all the different parts in the enhanced configurator that the dealers use. This is compared to maybe $1,000 for a 2-tone leather interior. More money for other options...
