There is/has been a delay on Bose amplifiers since Sep 2021 with a stop sale campaign attached to affected cars.

From what I collected online, sometimes car wait at the port (so the delay might not be as apparent) but more recently get delivered to the dealership while waiting for amplifier to come in.

My intention of opening this thread is to get a sense of how long people typically wait for the Bose amplifier before taking delivery. Please don't merge with other delivery thread if possible (also not sure if the poll would get deleted if merged)

Personally I have been waiting for over a month with no end in sight and no information/estimated time from the dealership or PCNA (I've actively contacted both). The car is in the showroom and I have signed all purchase papers for the car. My next course of action would be to reach out to people on this page: Contact & Information - Porsche Newsroom USA to hopefully reach some of the higher-ups that might be able to get more information.

Would like to hear people's thoughts as well, in terms of next course of action or maybe I'm overreacting and should just continue to wait with no further action.

Talked to my SA today. My S was put on a transport yesterday out of Houston for the dealership. ETA still listed as 05/20 but will probably show up sooner than that. He says that there are no holds on my vehicle but he has another car off that ship that has a hold for the Burmeister system.

I bought my macan this week. The dealer in Houston had three, all loaded, but with Burmeister stereos, and were waiting on the amplifie. They couldnt sell them, since they could loose their license from Porshe. Apoke to the manager about this, and I too was willing to sign something saying you owe me this amp, and to have it installed in a month or so, but no go. manager also cited safety issues (not sure how an amp impacts safety). Apparently, he has 10 cars (all models) on his lot that cant be sold due to these Burmeister amps.

I bought one with Bose instead

Hope Porsche had delivery and performance guarantees as part of their contract!

The radio amplifier runs all of the warning sounds that your car makes so it is against federal law to sell the car without it.

There is a thread on the Burmester delays which seems to be getting better, as I and several others received their amps and Macans in the last week or so.
