No good for me then, my phone is android.
Will just bluetooth through PCM.
Is Bluetooth (mobile phone preparation) standard on the 718 with PCM? Wasn't on the 981.Will just bluetooth through PCM.
For those who DON'T want a rear wiper, DON'T read this:

"Uninitiated enthusiasts, unencumbered by intimate familiarity of Porsche tradition, sometimes protest that the iconic rear wiper is stylistically unbecoming.
The rear-wiper looks tacked on, an afterthought, a cheap-trinket blemish on a beautiful body. Not for me ... Porsche traditions be buggered.
Guess I'll have to be an uninitiated enthusiast unencumbered by intimate familiarity of Porsche tradition, driving a mechanical fair-weather pretty-boy.

Personally don't give a bugger about tradition - but am sad that form seems to be taking priority over function. I accept that wipers are not the most elegant thing in the world - but is the rear one actually any less elegant than the front ones? I can't see anyone removing the front wipers in the interest of appearance."Uninitiated enthusiasts, unencumbered by intimate familiarity of Porsche tradition, sometimes protest that the iconic rear wiper is stylistically unbecoming.

I can't see anyone removing the front wipers in the interest of appearance. Perhaps Porsche have missed a trick and should offer colour keyed wiper blades as a (say) £200 option.
i had initally spec'd a rear wiper but later removed it.
nothing to do with tradition or looks and i do like to be able to wipe the screen when needed, however the option doesn't come with a sprayer so i think it's use is a lot more limited and may well end up moving dirt around and making visibility worse rather than improving it.

You're right - the lack of washer is disappointing, but it's still very useful if the car ever gets left out in the rain/sleet/snow. Unlike many hatchbacks the Cayman doesn't suck up much muck onto the rear screen so the issue you raise isn't such a problem. All that said it would be better with a washer.nothing to do with tradition or looks and i do like to be able to wipe the screen when needed, however the option doesn't come with a sprayer so i think it's use is a lot more limited and may well end up moving dirt around and making visibility worse rather than improving it.

Not sure if you can get yellow calipers any other way than speccing ceramic brakes.

Dammit!
Seems you're right.
Considering how just about every aspect of these machines is configurable, disappointed that I can't configure the colour of the calipers.

What would all the folks with REAL Ceramic brakes say!! Almost as bad as manually raising your rear spoiler!
