Wanted to say hello

I have been lurking in the background, learning about the Macan

Next week I take delivery of my first Porsche, getting a bit giddy now

Any advice on dash cameras ?

Welcome.

Good choice of spec inclusions.

One major omission ....... heated steering wheel. It is a Must Have in my book.

Your query over RevCam, Surround Cam is very useful particularly if you have to access and park in tight spaces.

Consider adding:-

Interior Light Pack

Rear side airbags, if you value the rear occupants.

Automatic Cruise Control if you use cruise control, standard is a dumb system

Do have a long test drive of a Macan with the same seating, suspension, wheel size, and steering system as you intend to specify to verify that the ride and seating comfort is what you want.

Good spec Neanderthal, I am looking at the 21 RS Spyder wheels. I don't get the 'must have' heated steering wheel that lots on this forum like.

A bit late to change the specifications as it’s in the dealers

I have a heated wheel on the current car, this one will live in a heated garage, so not so essential

Thanks for the feedback

I was concerned about the wheels and the lack of Air Suspension

Haveing driven one with PASM and 21” wheels it’s fine, so much better than an S line Audi

Heated steering wheel is a nice to have, as this will be garaged it’s less important for
me

I've had a dashcam on my cars (moved it from car to car) for 10 years and I wouldn't be without one. It sits there recording everything and ready if and when I need it. It's 10 years old, technology has moved on (and become much more complicated in terms of choices) and I will buy a new cam for the new Macan when it comes in May. The below forum is the source of info, after deciding on your criteria (what you want from the cam) the next hurdle is identifying a cam that will do the job without paying too more than you need too - not easy.
