I was out on the highway today and for the first time since the update I noticed that blind spot was not working. Weeks ago I saw an assist system error without description for a moment but otherwise no errors reported. I cleaned up all the cameras but I think blind spot/rear collision warning...

Yeah, in the assistance screen, when you click on the CC mode banner on top you seem to get the same menu as the button push containing the ACC off option . It should work the same but I haven't tried it. The assistance screens change when in motion, however, and some options not available.

I used to switch from adaptive to dumb and back often, I'll have to review the steps again. I think they were posted here months ago. I think you press the button at the end of the CC stalk until the assistance mode is displayed on one of the cluster tubes. You can then toggle adaptive on and...

Model: 4S Wheels: 20 inch std Usual Mode: Normal Regen: on Location: USA, Boston Avg Temp: 15 F (-10 C) A bit warmer in Jan. Looks like the software update fixed these reports in my case..

Sport plus lowers ride height? Lower is more aerodynamic, sometimes significant mileage improvement at highway speed.. For me there are very specific conditions where OPD is useful, but it otherwise requires much more concentration to drive smoothly. My spouse often mentions how much less head...

There may be a nuance here. It is rare that manufactures continue updating older module software after a hardware change as most of the time the new features require the updated hardware. Neither BMW nor Tesla does that unless it is a safety recall. Just about all manufactures update software...

Perhaps the power line characteristics changed just enough to allow charging (or someone was running a hair dryer or large appliance). Sometimes mine connects within 15 seconds, sometimes it takes 90 and I think my line is on the hairy edge of what is acceptable to the Macan.

If the GTS is a 2026 model, and your 4S is a 2025, the hardware is a bit different and Porsche has no plans to port it to older hardware.

I've read of a few here. It is common for one module to fail update the first time but it usually takes on the second try. Sounds like yours is not taking on the second or third try. From what I've read here, once they figure it out there are no further problems with the car. There are a...

I use the built in Nav when I use the Porsche ROADS app integration for suggested routes, scenic or otherwise. In my area there are several shared driver generated routes that are interesting for a Sunday drive. Anyway I found it easy to use and I notice it is way better at indicating the...

As stated here and in other manufactures forums, there are Tesla owners (fanboys) that don't know what they don't know that think the world of Tesla software, but others that understand it is dangerous crap covered with marketing BS. Their support forums are full of issues. Technocrat owners...

I'm just satisfying my curiosity at this point, but another data point, if there is any interest. Line voltage had been varying, mostly between 246VAC and 247 VAC. Once in awhile dropping below 246. The VAC stayed pretty close to 246.5 between the time I plugged in and the EVSC contractors...

Just to note that this setting does not change the voltage the car sees nor does it regulate current. This flips a switch that tells the car the max allowable current. Its up to the car to regulate the current it draws. The only thing the Grizzl-E does is monitor current and disconnects the car...

Thinking there may be a vender sticker on the OBC I tried to look up a parts book photo but all I see is generic stuff. Wow, $20,000+ for a drive unit..

Wonder if the before update behavior is the same. :)
