Hi from a new Boxster owner

Hi Everyone
I have had my first Porsche for just over a week now, It's a 2014 981 Boxster GTS in white and I love it.
 
Annoyingly sound has stopped coming out of the speakers, hopefully I will be able to fix it.  The car did come with a 6 month warranty however this excludes the PCM :(
 
I will call the dealer to see what they say!
 
I am interested in any local meets  and would like to try a trackday at some point. 
 
I am a motorcyclist and have done many trackdays on bikes but  the whole "fast on four wheels" thing is totally new to me.

It doesn't matter what the warranty says.  He probably excluded the PCM because he new it was faulty.
The Consumer goods Act gives you a six month warranty on everything, so quote it at him and if he doesn't respond correctly to you phone call.  Then do it in writing and give him a time frame to fix it,  if he doesn't  report him to trading standards and send him the bill for the repair.

What a tricky dealer. He specifically excluded the PCM because he knew it was faulty. But it doesn't really matter what the warranty says. The Consumer goods Act gives you a six-month warranty on everything. Therefore, feel free to send him an invoice for repairs and let him pay for it. It's all legal. Guys, I also have a question. Do you know where I can buy a tok essay? Thanks, everyone.
