Hi,

Just wondering whos gone with the 4th Screen and 4 Zone Climate. I have it in my build but starting to think it's overkill.

I did. 4 zone climate has been on every car I have owned for many years, so it feels fairly basic. Agree that the passenger display is a toy. I'm still not sure what good it does. I got it anyway.

I didn't get either. I don't envision the passenger screen used much in my use case and was too pricey for me. I won't ever see the rear seat screen as the driver so I opted out, but I kinda wish I went with the upgrade to show off to any passengers. Oh well.

I believe he means upgrading to the touch screen for the rear passengers.

I ordered neither of these options, opting instead for RWS. My dog will be in the back seat and doesn't do touch screens.

I have both ticked at the moment just not sure if they are worth £1350 for them, and as r553 said this covers the rws cost. Yeah sorry i meant the rear touch screen, it looks cool but i'm sure it will never get used.

I didn’t bother with the rear screen.

I can count on one hand the last time I had rear passengers in my Panamera and to be honest, the rear screen is VERY disappointing compared to the one in my Panamera.

Panamera’s screen shows music and maps etc so seemed worth it, paying for a screen for climate control seemed a waste to me.

I did opt for the passenger screen. To be honest it seemed like a nice option when I specced it, however I didn’t realise you needed someone in the seat for it to work.

I went for a Turbo S and hoped you may be able to use it for lap time’s etc

I got it too, but to be honest for me, the entire car is a "nice to have". I thought it may be useful or fun, to have on a longer road trip with my wife or daughter. They may rarely use it, but if they do, then it is a bonus.

I didn't configure the rear climate as I saw that without it they still have buttons for seat heater and manual vents. (Just not custom temp).
Won't often have >2 occupants.

I am getting the passenger screen as requested by my wife, only request. I find having center nav screen changed by passenger annoying to the driver.

If you plan to often have people in back I would get the 4 zone.

These seem like the 2 most useless options possible ... like I want kids in the back fucking with climate control. And the brightness of the passenger screen is off putting.

Well, I guess that is why Porsche made those items options. So each owner can decide. ;)

I wanted the rear screen until I played with it in a demo car. Now I dunno... I'd get it just for the novelty if I do.

You know I would get it in a minute if my parents were still alive and I were to take them places etc. But I agree if you seldom have rear passengers it's a novelty.
