Cayenne I am picking up soon has this interior...wouldn't have contemplated it if it was the full monty!

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've seen some beautiful pictures of interiors in luxor beige leather, but Porsche seem to issue a warning about reflection of the dashboard on the windscreen. Has anyone any experience of this?
Thanks
Full colour beige or red is a bit too much for me but it's personal preference. Also I prefer steering wheels to be black except on older cars I'd accept wood or grey/white.
I find the Luxor Beige too light. I'd prefer a tan.

Thumbs up from me. Not had any reflection problems with the two tone. Gratuitous pic added!
It's a very classy combination although all beige (like all red) is neither pleasant or practical as they do cause bad reflections. I would seriously consider this or black / red bi colour if I was in the market for a non GTS model (which needs to keep Alcantara).

I have driven cars with the beige interior and the reflection in the windscreen is quite bad - particularly driving through leafy lanes with sun shining through the canopy. Very easy to miss a cyclist ! Last year,there were also court cases in US (where else) which prompted Poursche to put a statement in sales literature that reflections might be a problem with light interiors!. If you want the beige, my advice would be the two tone option - with black dash.
I have got the older version - sand beige in a 987, and I don't notice reflections most of the time, but in certain lighting conditions it can be quite bad.
Could well believe it. Same 'issue' with the cream coloured dash/cill on the TVR Chimaera. Never liked that colour on the dash for exactly that reason.

Dash anything other than black: don't!
I don't entirely agree
I had an ocean blue dash and it was fine
Dash anything other than a very dark colour: don't
Only thing I would point out us that these light interiors mark up and get grubby, very easily.
I have Amber with Agate dash/door tops and at only 13k miles have denim stains on the seats that I just can't get out

I have the amber interior too. The contrasting door and dash top really sets it off. I love it though I think an all amber interior would've been too much. It would be the same for most one colour interiors, especially red. That would be like climbing out the womb.
The drivers seat is showing denim staining, I'll give it a good clean in the spring. There's plenty of product out there. I'm thinking of using Raceglaze Leather Cleaner and their Leather Balm for the task.
I have tried the Autoglym leather cleaner and it just won't shift it? Any harder rubbing and I fear taking the top layer off? Had an '03 M3 with a red interior and the denim stains came off with a simple damp cloth!

I've got the whole Autoglym kit bag, came with my previous TTS. The leather cleaner is in there but I won't be using it. There's lots of product out there... Some quick research on Detailingworld has thrown up Dr Leather as one of the best. Cleanser and dye blocker!!

I think there is actually a warning or 'Notice' on the Porsche configurator or somewhere I have seen about reflections from a beige dashboard!
Yup. The OP mentions it.
Test drove a really nice (and well priced) 991.1 S a few weeks ago - Agate over Luxor. It wasn’t a particularly bright day - in fact it was raining lightly - and the test drive was late afternoon.
I’m a fan of lighter coloured interiors and the Luxor is a nice, warm, rich looking colour - but the reflections in the windscreen absolutely killed it for me. Really distracting.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
