    PCM unable to read mp4 video metadata

    Ok, I think I have this working well. There are a few steps involved, and needs some familiarity with installing and running tools, at least on a Mac. Rip your content from DVD/Blueray etc. I use a program called Handbrake to convert the ripped content, depending on the aspect ratio, to a max...

    Did anyone option the air filtration system? Opinions?

    My main gripe is the position of the text implies it's a label for that end of the graph, where it's actually a textual repetition of the state shown by the graph. So it says 'Low', but it's at the 'High' end of the chart. I have seen over 500 in the Seattle area a few years ago, and I'm...

    Did anyone option the air filtration system? Opinions?

    I do have the Air Filtration option. The extra display looks like this. When you enable the Ionizer, the graphic on the right changes to show those dots coming out from the dashboard. Note the the UX is terrible. The text saying 'Very Low' is above the part of the chart that will light up...

    Largest Dog Crate that fits in the boot / trunk

    If you don’t use the back seats much, I’ve found that using the ability to make their backs more vertical gives you a little extra space high up where the glass slope is the worst. The manual page on Seats shows this about half way down

    PCM unable to read mp4 video metadata

    After some digging, my videos have QuickTime metadata tags for the names of the audio tracks in the video file - 'Track 2 Name' and 'Track 3 Name' in my case - and these are 'Stereo' and 'Surround' as output by Handbrake, the tool I use to convert originals to the smaller size. Changing these...

    Assistance systems causing dangerous situations (serious)

    This also happened to me for about 1/4s at a freeway exit whilst using Active Lane Keep in the slow lane. We were not exiting. Light traffic, no-one driving badly at that time. I can imagine the system got confused and thought we were driving between the main road and the exit lane. Only...

    ChargePoint now appearing in Charging Service

    With the ChargePoint app added to the iPhone wallet, starting a session is so, so simple with a single tap. My ChargePoint account also tracks my home charger usage too, so I lose that using the Porsche integration.

    Frunk additions for cleaning supplies on the road

    I just used velcro to attach ours to the center section of the custom center organizer - it's easy to reach and won't fly around in a crash! I have another one in the driver side pocket that needs to be attached too. The more of these you have, the less likely you'll need them.

    PCM unable to read mp4 video metadata

    I noticed this naming problem today when trying to see what can be played from USB. The first time, the play time was also listed, but on playing one and returning to the list, that data had gone too. The good news is that the manual is wrong about video bit rates: 2000kps and 720x576px max...

    Frunk additions for cleaning supplies on the road

    Who wants to drive a dirty car on a road trip? How do you carry your potions and tools to do light cleaning? Here's something I'm trying out. I recently bought the Frunk Liner from Sun Coast. I also purchased a Shoe Organizer from Amazon and cut off all except the top row of 4 mesh pockets...

    No Drill front license plate holder UPDATED WITH INSTALL and ORDER info

    Looking to maybe get the Sto N Sho for WA state. There are many cars here without front plates, but this is technically not allowed. I ran my BMW Z8 for 20+ years without one, but that I could explain as being a special car with no place to mount one. A question I have is the possibility of...

    Air Suspension Dilemma! What's your setting?

    In the PCM page to set up each mode, when you’re NOT looking at Normal, a small check mark appears at the top right of those menu options to save the setting. The background is busy, so it’s hard to see and not as obvious as it could be Here's a previous post with a picture of the checkbox...

    Air Suspension Dilemma! What's your setting?

    Google tells me there's a post on here (https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/effect-of-drive-mode-on-range-and-regeneration-and-what-about-steering-and-throttle-response.18088/) that says it drops at 60mph in Normal to Lowered. I think I've seen this. There is an Automatic Lift function...

    Air Suspension Dilemma! What's your setting?

    Normal mode can't be changed, but Sport and Sport Plus can be customized and saved, so Sport Mode is my 'custom' setting for now.

    Air Suspension Dilemma! What's your setting?

    I've customized the Sport setting to have Normal chassis to give me the Normal/Lowered setting on the dial I now need to remember to turn that dial every time I start up. Note that the Normal setting will go lower at higher speed automatically. Around town, the less sporty chassis setting is...

    Poll: How many actual Macan Electric’s have you seen in the wild?

    Clearly a neighbor of mine has one, since I've seen them go by twice now in a Black one. Can't tell the model.

    GENTIAN BLUE Macan EV Photos

    @Fun TC Driving Hwy 26 from Hillsboro to Seaside in your area is a blast in the Macan. At least before the summer traffic gets in the way, and when it gets twisty.

    How to read the battery temp indicators on the instrument cluster?

    I like to think of this as the ideal range to start charging. That temperature will increase as you charge to a maximum of 55C (130F approx) before the car throttles the current to stop it going higher. These higher temperatures are normal for charging. What the car will not do is try to keep...

    SAT Antenna error but still works!

    I've seen a diagram of the antenna locations, and I *think* it was in the online manual, but I can't find it now. I did see something about things on the roof rack might interfere with the Sat Radio, so somewhere near the top of the tailgate seems like a good place to look.
