I know that my car is lower than a Macan, but I’m really glad that forum members suggested that I add auto dimming mirrors to my Carrera T spec.

For me, surround view is a must. The cars are wide and it’s easy to scrape curbs. Surround view gives you a perfect view of the distance to the curb. It’s essential in my opinion and I wouldn’t by 2nd hand if it wasn’t on there.
Heated windscreen you can do without for the few times a year you need it. But I used mine the other day and it was great, defrosted the windscreen within 2 minutes. However the side windows remained frozen and the windows wouldn’t wind down so I couldn’t go anywhere anyway!

Summary:
The headlight pdls + have been removed as the standards are getting a good write up and we don’t live rurally or drive too much in the night.
Gentian blue is now the Mrs colour of choice alongside painting the side blade things so I’m c. -£80 after the above!!
Bose - stays for now although noted
Same for dimming mirrors
Re. surround camera over reversing camera my current F Pace is a bit bigger than the Macan and I find reverse camera fine.

Definitely need some mud flaps on that
'22 Macan S, GB, 14W/XL, AAS, PA/SV, ACC, LCA, PG, HF/RS, VFS, EETS, 75L, etc, etc.
Just thought I’d add my 2p worth. I’ve had auto dimming mirrors on my last 5 cars including my last Macan. My latest Macan however, does not have them. I have noticed absolutely no difference at all.
The high beam assist, or whatever it’s called, is not very good. Drop it like it’s hot.
Thumbs up for roof rails as they just look nice.
Have you spec’ed a spare wheel?

I don't think the cost of Bose is worth it as not significantly better than the std fit system.didsby wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 7:31 pm Build updated again!

I have never kerbed an alloy on either of my Macans using just the reversing camera. Found the Surround View disorienting on the test cars. Gen 2 and 3 now have a wash jet to keep the camera lens clear. Big improvement over Gen 1.

Don’t want to curse myself but the only curbing in the past few years has been from coming off curbs at silly angles (and one lapse of concentration on the move!)
