I bought this for wireless CarPlay (Wireless CarPlay Adapter,CarPlay Dongle for OEM Wired CarPlay Cars, Convert Wired to Wireless CarPlay, Support Online Update Plug & Play Easy Use Fit for Cars from 2015 & iPhone https://a.co/d/d9IgrQO) and it works perfectly.

Porsche branded weathertech floor mats, frunk and trunk liners, and lid liners (Suncoast), radar mirror mount and overhead light wire tap, and a battery manager.

Excuse the blurry photo… it was super difficult to take!

According to the Good to Know App (an essential), the 12V outlets will continue to function after the ignition is shut off. The power supply to the outlet(s) will be stopped 30 minutes after ignition off to protect the battery. There will be no draw from the charger during the 30 minutes unless something is plugged into it.

Three things I have added to the car:
1. Radiator grills - front
2. Dashcam - front and back
3. PCM Screen protector - this one is such a quality of life improvement for me and the cheapest… was not a fan of the matte finish of the touch screen display. Just by adding the screen protector, the dash area now feels more welcoming (just my opinion)

btw, the Porsche Good to know app is being retired by the end of this month. I believe its features will be integrated into the MyPorsche app.

Okay… ordered the grill mesh. Received the lid liners and clear wind deflector. Any suggestions for alcantara protectant? I got a cleaner for it, but there’s SO MUCH of it in the car, including the steering wheel (who puts that crap on steering wheels?) Polished her up for an event tomorrow. Can’t wait!

I think the point of alcantara on the steering wheel is that it's grippy. In any event, alcantara is one of those either you love it or you hate it things. I'm in the latter camp regardless of what surface it's on.

Personally I did not bother with the mesh grilles, my choice obviously.
not saying I will never do but one of those things I am on the fence with.
the clear wind deflector though I did try and really did not like. The original is designed the let the air go through, the clear replacement stops that and I - again personally- felt this caused more buffeting than the original so soon reverted.
a good summer day here I remove the thing completely but otherwise the original stays in - all in all, more than happy with now.
Enjoy whatever you do, these are absolutely fantastic cars and I honestly cannot even consider anything other.
