It would appear DAB is part of the CDR/Sound package plus from the online configurator descriptions.
But is it not part of the more expensive PCM though, which i think you have to tick the digital tv option to also include digital radio.
You are correct it is part of the CDR/Sound Package plus but if you tick PCM you then have to add back DAB Radio circa £324 on top of the PCM rip off price But is it not part of the more expensive PCM though, which i think you have to tick the digital tv option to also include digital radio.

Playing around with the configurator and pretty much settled on metallic white with black and silver stitching but undecided on the following.
The standard wheel finish seems very bright which I like but I'm drawn to the satin platinum finish although the matt black May suit best with the black hood and black plastic bits
I did look at painted hoops but think I'll leave that whole area black
PCM with sound pack and Bluetooth add £3k for something I'm not sure I need or want so might leave this out
Anyone had confirmed news on the 918 seats as they are on Opc system now.

As already mentioned the standard wheels are too bright and insipid......the platinum look far better but appear to be unavailable with the 'essential' coloured Porsche crest centres whereas the standard wheels are??
On colours I was tempted by metallic white but in reality there is little difference to standard Carrara. As with the GT3, white appears to be the most popular colour so Rhodium or Sapphire may be best.

I thought the metallic had a grey tinge to it and liked that, Rhodium looks very nice and is my other choice at present

Coloured crests lol , what has driving come too ?On colours I was tempted by metallic white but in reality there is little difference to standard Carrara. As with the GT3, white appears to be the most popular colour so Rhodium or Sapphire may be best.
I have standard black crests on my Spyder, no one gives a st and IMO they look better on a white car with all black parts.
Did you not pay £70 to have your key painted also lol ?
Also go look at metallic white, seems a pointless colour to me over normal white, it's not like BMW perl white.
It's not even noticeable :-(

If the platinum wheels have coloured crests included they are certainly worth the c£550 extra!I thought the metallic had a grey tinge to it and liked that, Rhodium looks very nice and is my other choice at present
Standard crests look cheap imo.
Rhodium is nice and would be a good contrast against the black hood.....although personally I think the car suits the darker colours. Sapphire is halfway house I guess.

Leather pouch? You must have a leather pouch
yes coloured wheel crests are 'standard' when you paint the wheels.
Looked at Sapphire Blue on a Boxster and a Cayman yesterday. It was just - blue. I was thinking of the Agate Grey. It looks good on the Configurator but on a car Yuk! I'll grant you it was a Panamera I was looking at but even so the shape of the car had nothing to do with the apparent brown ting the paint had.
At the moment it's either Guards Red or Racing Yellow but there are a lot of months before the cars start arriving.
The contrast stitching looks real nice.
I do think it's worth swinging by your local OPC and taking a look at the colours on a car. The colours on screen look different depending on the screen you are using and different again when you print them out.
