Play via Apple car play using a streaming service was my plan…gotta make use of that Bose optional upgrade :roll:

Portsmouth OPC has a white Gen 3 GTS in their showroom, and it has the SD & SIM slots in the centre armrest storage box.......I took this photo, apologies it isn’t in focus 🙁

I also took a photo of the ‘fingerprint magnet’ centre console and, whilst it looks ok, I much prefer my button fest console 😏

IMHO the plastic trim around the gear lever and centre console felt quite cheap compared to my Gen 2.

Overall, even without driving it, I felt the changes weren’t enough to want me to change my Macan S.

Maybe the sim and USB slots are now only on the GTS.

Apple car play is on the base stereo too, right, not just the BOSE.

It should have nothing to do with how many speakers you have or wattage they are. But then who’d have though only a GTS would require a SIM card slot?

The plot thickens???

I'd love to know why that car has them and others don't??

Looking like the GTS has them but S doesn't. Go figure...

No reasonable reason for this. And if it’s a cost thing offer an option, it’s not like there aren’t many options…

I'm wondering if it's just randon parts shortages?

So if it's not fitted and you don't notice or care they've saved a few Euros???
Better check I've got the right engine if it ever arrives!!!!
