    Experienced Red Circle of Death this morning...

    The Xbox 360 was known for its Red Ring of Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_technical_problems

    Piano black climate control: how will you protect it?

    Suncoasts are NOT matte finish. And they do not include the driver display

    What functions does the passenger screen do

    The controls of the passenger screen are a little weird too. Last weekend, I started a movie playing on the main screen (from USB) but then we wanted to switch this to play the video on the passenger screen. Apparently (I was driving and couldn't see it), the list of videos in the Music app...

    Timing for CarPlay Ultra Update?

    Since Porsche announced they were working with Apple on this, the collaboration with Rivian for car software has also been announced. Rivian doesn’t support Car Play in their own cars. Who knows what will happen here. Will the current Macan generation will get an update to a Rivian based...

    Bose Auto app

    A bit underwhelming. It's an app with a video with each chapter showing off one aspect of the Bose system. I guess you could use it to help you find the correct settings for your system. The video does look good on the center display though!

    Thoughts on low speed EV sound

    Based on the comments here, I think this goal has been achieved!

    Keep AC on while being temporarily away from the car

    The option to keep the AC on also includes keeping battery pre-conditioning running, if you're navigating via a charging station. My battery temp went up 5 degrees when I stopped for a few minutes this week!

    Here's my frozen blue Turbo - just took delivery!

    This is the best color. We get comments all the time when we’re out and about!

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    In the USA, the speed sign detection has been about 98% for me. We have these signs in my area for variable speeds. 30mph usually, with a 20mph limit when an orange light is flashing. School zones use these during the day when necessary. These display as '20' with a yellow banner on top of...

    Front trunk liner

    My post here shows the frunk liner used to hold the pockets for my bottles. https://www.macanevowners.com/frunk-additions-for-cleaning-supplies-on-the-road/ I can’t find the Suncoast instructions mentioned above, and I did not need to remove a plastic part to fit this

    At What Speed Does Your Spoiler Extend?

    Yes, 2 spoiler heights. It seems they're named Eco and Performance. It looks like only Launch Control gets anything from zero to 55ish km/h, where all modes move to Eco level - about half way. Then at 90km/h, Sport Plus mode moves to the higher level, but this also happens if the sunroof is...

    At What Speed Does Your Spoiler Extend?

    My seating position makes it so that I can easily see the fully deployed ā€˜performance’ position but not the ā€˜eco’ one. The first time I noticed this was when I was trying out Sport Plus mode, and that gets the fully deployed spoiler at regular road speeds. Despite seeing that chart before, I’d...

    Are these pigtail for the 12v battery?

    This is for the emergency Hood release to open the frunk with a dead 12v The manual implies it isn’t charging the 12v when used https://manual.porsche.com/#/wpi/XAB-2025-20240826-43-NAR-2.0.2/en_US/topic/id/c331da738e1816f18d24c0b362eb7bd4

    New Turbo, initial thoughts!

    You can turn it on, but then you have to look at the screen to configure it (with your other hand) for type and strength, unless you’re happy with the current settings.

    New Turbo, initial thoughts!

    "Hey Porsche, turn off/on HUD" is really useful if it's in the way (or click the voice button). You can add the custom widget to the three custom center panel that adds a switch too. The voice control is great for many of the things that you might want to toggle. It also is good at...

    Next Generation CarPlay In the Wild

    I just tried using my USB video, and if you start it on the passenger screen from the Music player(!), that's where it plays. I have yet to see if it continues playing the video when driving - presumably it will, with the privacy filter enabled, but who knows if anyone tested this at Porsche...

    The One reason I did not get the Macan 4 and ordered the 4S

    I would indeed. I was on the fence until this last week though. I am never going to use the track memory feature (maybe I can use this for the Trader Joes Circuit?), or rarely the G metering display, nor the lap timer. But the stiffer steering and quicker throttle response are worth it to me...

    The One reason I did not get the Macan 4 and ordered the 4S

    One small thing I've noticed from videos, is that the 4S comes with the stainless pedal option as standard (which makes it disappear from the configurator options). These pedals look much nicer than the standard, and I think are a nice upgrade. On the question of speed, the 4S doesn't feel...

    PCM unable to read mp4 video metadata

    Did a little more testing. The center screen seems to be about 2150 pixels wide, for an aspect ratio of about 2.68:1. So if you have a rip of Ben Hur or something in full width CinemaScope, then bring popcorn and crank up the volume!
