Yes / wired, CarPlay doesn't rely on Nav (or voice control).

About to lock in my order. Will I still have Apple Carplay if I don't opt for the Navi pkg? Will it be wired vs wireless? All my previous late model Porsches had Navi, so I don't know what it's like w/o it.

Thanks, I can live with that vs the additional cost. Have to draw the line somewhere. Already have 15k in options. Will use Waze if I ever need Navi. I do stream some audio, and on rare occasion, listen to and reply to a text message while enroute. Plugging in before driving off isn't going to be a big deal.

You will have Carplay without navi if you tick the box.

I need to tick a box to get Carplay with a 2021 GTS 4.0? I didn't see that choice. I better ask my SA.

I think CarPlay is now standard in the 2021 GTS.

Ahh yes, I see it now in Standard Equipment under Audio and Communication: Wired Apple CarPlay® incl. Siri®. Good to know!

Got my alignment sorted post Ohlins R&T install, got my APR tune flashed, and got some driving in to test those mods out, along with the PSM Sport function I coded this week.

Got a VIN inspection done, and dropped it off for an XPEL PPF (track cut) with a Fusion Plus ceramic coat.

The weather was nice 50F and sunny so I drove the 718 for the first time with the top down. Perfection! Also got so many thumbs up from others on the road. I'm not used to that

Racing stripes...a lot of work required...
But had fun...My wife and kid helped me to accomplish it...

 

[Erik van Rijn]

Took mine onto the German autobahn and tested the top speed.
287 km/h on the speedometer. Didn't have someone with me to get an actual GPS speed reading.
Porsche lists the top speed as 275 km/h.

Installed my front plate today. Kinda like to offset look.

Temperatures have gone from -18c to 20c in less than a week. Last week we were ice skating on the lake. Yesterday I prepped the 718 and today were taking her out on her first sunny top down long road trip!

Having previously removed the rear wheels and cleaned the rusty hubs I today removed the front drivers side wheel. The wheel was an absolute pig to remove as the steel retaining lugs on the hub had rusted and “welded“ themselves to the alloy of the wheel centre. Like the rear wheels I rubbed down the rusty hubs and then cleaned and waxed the wheel and cleaned all the suspension parts.

Note that Porsche recommends the use of MolyLube on the hub to prevent the wheels from sticking. @MarkYorks is taking things to another level—cool to hear of that level of attention to detail!

All four wheels now done. The front passenger side was not as bad as the front driver side but still took some effort. As before all suspension cleaned and wheel waxed. All 4 wheels now have lubed locating lugs so should be easier to remove in the future. My OCD tendencies are now eased as always like to see what is lurking beneath when I have not bought new. To be fair the car did look like new when I bought it in October at 10 months old and 3300 miles.

Washed and waxed the 718 with meguiars NXT shampoo and wax. After a meguiars snow foam treatment. I love those products. Also gave the top a RaggTop treatment. Should last me until the fall.

Performed a pumpkinectomy. I must say that going from the orange side markers to the clear is major improvement.

 

[lsturbointeg]

was able to get her washed, waxed and detailed since the temperatures finally hit 40 degrees!
