I made a thread/table here with the only concrete evidence we have for now: https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/porsche-macan-audi-q6-updates-comparison.24127/ Important to note that VR28.13 (or KD2) is not the same software as MY26.

Regarding the coding, it may come at some point if anyone is bothered to dive into it. Or we might at least get a diagnostics tool that can be used with a cheap BMW ENET cable, e.g. J1 Taycan/Etron GT got MapEV diag: https://www.mapev.net/mapev-diag/

Not kidding. Historically, VAG parts with cosmetic difference are usually just the last letter different. If the hardware is different then the last 3 digits would be different. This goes back as far as I can remember e.g mk1 TT sharing Golf mk4 parts. AI summary of this here but lets work...

The standard matrix light, tinted and blue all have the same startup 'sequence' if you can call it that - a glow from the centre to the outside, very subtle and you wouldn't notice it unless you knew about it: see video on the configurator...

Where does the radiator air go if installing that new cover, it just flows out of the wheel wells like a normal car? I imagine there is negligible difference in cooling given the car only needs to dump max ~30kW of heat during rapid charging (Compare to an ICE car radiator dumping 100's of kW)...

Looks about right, matches my experience below. Values in blue are measured, black calculated based on the range test video & porsche consumption data: I would say my 86mph @ 5C is equivalent to your 80mph at -5C, then your 22C cabin heat took you down a notch to 2.0m/kWh!

This was true before EV specific tyres were introduced - to compensate for the added weight and abrasion EV tyres have higher silica content, a by-broduct of which results in the tyre remaining soft below 40F and therefore remains grippy where traditional tyre grip falls off a cliff. I...

Have also been looking at the CC3 but non-sport version for 20" 235/55 and also the Continental All Season Contact 2. Looks like the CC3 Sport is a good choice and miles better than the non-sport, but consider if you really need an all-season tyre? My thought process below: I've replaced the...

52k will be trade in price rather than sale price, and that was probably the US equivalent of webuyanycar.com?! e.g. Mine was 88k but trade in is 67k - 12 months old, 13k miles, 24% loss. Also consider almost all new EV's in the UK are business buyers not Private (dealer said 95% business, 5%...

Not seen any downsides to IOG controlling the A3 yet - only that it seems to be more reliable. E.g.: The charger waits to receive a schedule from IOG before dispensing to the car. So when you plug in during peak hours the charging process does not start immediately and you get an error...

Is the puncture repairable? Repairs can be made on the flat section of tyre, not the curved shoulder. Could then get an internal patch installed at a tyre fitters. Personally I plugged mine myself with a slime kit on Amazon - your choice. Failing that, stick some branded part worns on for the...

Can you comment any more on these specifically? The yellow car where? What makes innodrive smoother? Innodrive acceleration when braking in response to other cars? (I find it brakes excessively hard when the car in front brakes) Lane keep assist? e.g lane centreing improvement? (not...

IOG controlling the car is super buggy due to how there is no button to start charging in the app directly. Instead, they add a departure schedule about a week ahead to stop the car from charging, and then turn the schedule off when they want it to charge. However the porsche app connection is...

Very cool, I will add to this thread as there was no communication about the increased traffic sign recognition. The MY26 Q6 gets these features too. What else will Macan get in common with Q6? We need a side by side comparison really... Any volunteers? 😅 Side note: the 3D assistance view is...

Esteemed Macaners (Macaneers?), I thought it would be useful to compare the Macan VR28.13 update with the Q6 KD2 update to see if the updates were aligned or if there are any differences. It would be great if you can add anything I may have missed, maybe there are some undocumented changes too...
