Welcome to the forum. I'm sure the car will not stay that clean for long once you start using it.

I see from your Porsche Code that you originally specified ACC. Was it actually on the car when it arrived? It's not currently available as an option.

Thanks all, great to be here.

@AllanG you're right the PCM is going to take a bit of getting used to plus the 3 phone apps to go with it. :lol:

Yes, the car was delivered with ACC. SE mentioned that it had been pulled as an option and that Porsche had rushed through an allocation for the UK where it had been ordered. Something about it potentially not meeting future legislation but I may have got that wrong, I was smiling at my car at that point and wasn't 100% tuned in. :D

I will talk to the SE early next week and ask for more detail.

Welcome, I am just across the border in West Sussex and am using Portsmouth for servicing etc. Good looking car and with the continued M27 smart motorway roadworks you will be glad you've got ACC!! I found those wheels are easy to clean.

I only got the PCM in my final preferred configuration after 3 months and my visit to PEC when I realised from something the instructor did how I could get back a feature I had for one week but had lost and failed to find again. I got one of the first GEN 2 S's and few OPC salesman understood the new PCM even if more do now.

Hi PMG. Notice you say you got one of the first gen 2s. So you wanted to ask if you have wireless CarPlay? It’s still something I haven’t managed to fathom from watching several videos and reading through numerous posts.

Thanks Tracky. It’s a strange one as surely the hardware is there but seems like it could be a possibility that the 2019 gen 2 didn’t get it. I will probably try a factory reset and then reconnect everything back up. If it still isn’t there then I’ll make do with wired or consider the c2play adapter.

Did you get a definitive answer on this?
