Wouldn't bet on it. I think I paid £2200 for it and a big percentage of buyers would either not see the benefit or not want to spend the money.
A bit like Bose then biggrin That was £900 I wouldn't spend again. And the Light Design. Actually, I'm being harsh on the Light Design it might be great, I just need to work out where it is and what it adds I'll give you a proper opinion as to its VFM hehe

I've had Bose and Burmester. I would pay for neither again. I have the boggo Porsche system at the moment and aside from the lack of DAB it's good enough.

I have a 2015 GTS with PDCC and it is a nightmare on swooping fast motorway and exposed motorway

Feels like it is battling cross winds and feels unstable - I have turned it off. Wouldn't recommend it for normal daily use

Sure on a track it probably feels alive - but I can do without it on the road

Yup, fast motorway bends were where it was most unpleasant.

Didn't know it could be turned off though, how do you do that?

Excuse my ignorance but what is PDCC. At a guess I might go with Porsche Dynamic Control Crap?

And what it is supposed to do that people on here don't seem to like?

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control.

In theory it makes the car comfortable to drive in a straight line, but it will corner flat - no body roll.

In practice it makes the artificial steering of the 991 feel completely numb and it is difficult to gauge what the front tyres are doing.

It makes the car super picky about tyres pressures. Even a couple of PSI makes it behave differently.

It self-corrects unexpectedly at low speeds on uneven surfaces inducing motion sickness.

Lastly, it gives the sensation of over steer when you're cornering in long, sweeping bends. Other people describe it as being like a gust of wind hitting the car. One moment you're cornering fine, the next the back end takes a step out.
