Nope :) - I made this comment on one of the threads here before; for ref I was coming from an Amaro brown interior in my M4 so quite a shift!

Here are some shots of mine but really quite hard to capture - some of these shots poss. too flat but closer I think than many that tend to emphasize an 'over-exposed' look. I was quite nervous of choosing this but very happy I did in the end:

Excuse my ignorance- I'm waiting for my 4S...

Is the passenger display a video playing? If so, can you do that easily or is there a special way to make it happen ?

Yes indeed - I have a portable Samsung flash drive HD (multi-gig) attached via USB-C in the center console with various music and movie videos on it (see GTK app for all supported formats) and it plays like a charm - nice for any extended charging stop!

EDIT - and btw, movies can be played synchronously on both screens albeit not that useful!

EDIT2: Forgot to mention that the GTK app and car manual are out of date in that Mac/Apple formatted flash drives work perfectly fine i.e. you do not as they state need to format in Windows.

I think he means just the hard drive is Samsung (they sell really nice little SSD external drives - I have one to backup my MacBook Pro), nothing to do with a phone.

The porsche configurator tool shows the bordeaux red interior to be much brighter than what I have seen on the 911 models. Is it really that bright in real? Attached picture of bordeaux red on 911 from configurator tool.

Based on personal experience, I think the red in the 911 looks much richer...

Connected to the previous comment, it is a color that can be evaluated only personally.

Most photos and images are faulty because of over saturation.
In combination with lot of black contrast on Taycan (dash, door, seat backs etc.) it is just fine as a balance.
On 911s it is maybe too much compare to black contrast, over the edge.
These are the closest on photos/real life I found.

Pretty! Is this accurate representation of bordeaux red on Taycan?

I don't think there is one in the glovebox? They might mean the one in the center console - I was under the impression that's the only data USB port in the car.

Correct - my apologies a typo there - meant console - corrected post to avoid further confusion!

Wish there was one in the glovebox though, console space is limited!

@ciaranob Sorry for off-topic, but how did you get that video (youtube?) on passengers' screen?

https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/attachments/img_4731-jpeg.30079/
Just saw this in another post:

Plug it into obd when in P, PCM will reset then it ready to use simple. I use it for watching films, I’ve got a usb c stick with a few movies on it. Got mine from ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original...p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0

A device which will "reprogram" the PCM and allow you to play videos on the passenger screen when car is in travel.

Very useful info and pics! The garage here had a taycan with bordeaux red leather and as everyone said, it's quite deep, not a bright red at all. Personally I'm still unsure of the colour combo for my order (4S ST): dolomite silver / bordeaux red or carmine red / black ?
I have ice grey bordeaux Red CT4 and would order The same again. Very deep red, flashy and classy at The same Time.

I own one and it is deep red, not bright at all. It is more like the first picture here from the 911!
