Ahh Im learning as I go here. So I think that the DCC is what the sales guy explained to me and I did think it would really suit me - hence the spec.I'd agree with @Dodge1311 on the Pro Media, but it does look good and finish the dash off by filling the space with useful screen. Not one to wait for though.
The Active Lane Assist is a great safety feature and makes long journeys a breeze, but again, I'm not sure you'd miss it.
The Driving Profile Select is another matter. I think the configurator is misleading in calling it DPS as I understand each 6.1 ignition key stores the settings last used - so 2 people with 2 different keys will have their driving profile selected when they use their own key. It is actually Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) that you are buying, which sorts the suspension out for different driving conditions - eg you can firm it up for winding roads, or soften it for the motorway and at low speed crashing through town potholes. It might actually adjust the electronic steering now as well - my dealer thought so. Given the amount of unhappiness with the handling of heavy Californias on here, and the positive noises made on here by people with it, I decided to spec it, rather than faff with aftermarket dampers and springs. That's the one you might miss?
I am in a real quandary now but it is helpful to learn what others make of the options because as a newbie I am pretty clueless.
Thanks for your help Tim? 66tim99
Yes I hear what you say - I am struggling with 'reducing my spec' - but my partner is just so keen to get their one on offer and have it for the summer - But it is almost spoiling the excitement of getting my first dreamed of camper van if I go for the slightly lower spec. ;-( l Im not sure if Im being a spoilt Croydon girl! ...But when you've waited 46 years you want it to be right.Thanks for your advice though Dodge 1311Hi Croydongirl,
I think around 6 months is probably right. I have encountered every one of the above problems so far and my Van is due to leave the factory next week for delivery end of April beginning of May. That would make it 7 and a bit months in total. As Brexit has now happened and the new engine is already rolling off the production lines i would say Sept for your is a fair assessment. Regarding your options i specced those as well as many others. The Pro media no longer has the big differential it once had as the standard media can now mirror into the cockpit idsplay. so i probably wouldn't say its worth waiting for. However as i love tech i would hate to remove an option once i had specced it.
