Debating equipping the smokers package on my build. I like the clean look and power port. But I could also just use the power port in the footwell for the battery tender during winter. I like having a place to put my phone when driving. Is that cubby where most people put their phone without the smokers package? Looks like the cubby might also double as a place to put a small drink? Small bottle of water or cup of iced coffee?
Mine has the smoker's package and the Porsche Carplay connection in the tray of the armrest. But I don't use either. I installed a "ExactFit Magnetic Phone Mount - Dash Mount" on the right side of the PCM so the phone is visible and easily placed/grabbed.
I don't ever use Carplay, don't even use BT. But I always stream music from the phone to my earbuds, every drive.
Yes, I recommend you do get the smoker's package though, for other reasons.
