    Instrument Cluster Compass Unavailable During Carplay Navigation

    somewhere in the car menu, you can select for each of the 4 lines what you want: compass, altitude, Little battery voltage and so on, instead of the default selection (which includes the name of the phone carrier, totally useless IMO)

    Macan EV Poll: Type and frequency of software-related issues you have had with your vehicle?

    That's the 150k€ question: do I take a risk when I continue to drive the Macan Turbo "under" red circle attacks, waiting a proper place to shut down/power on the car to make them disappear...and retrieve the normal behavior.

    Macan EV Poll: Type and frequency of software-related issues you have had with your vehicle?

    I don't know if red circle of death + consequences on power/hold system/brakes/suspension/acc are serious or dangerous (make your choice) ; but I do know that the need to stop the car, switch off and on, is VERY annoying. For sure the issues are a mix with software and hardware (including the...

    Android Automotive (AAOS) - Porsche implementation and timeline - "...failed due to a bug within the test itself."

    And thanks to the number of options available, there are so many configurations both software and hardware that make the system so hard to test and fix... When complexity generates too much complexity, maybe it's time for Porsche to think differently?

    New software version coming week 36 of 2025

    Porsche never deliver deliver cars with remaining faults in the system. The update is probably not the only concern... in september 2024, it took them 5 weeks to update and clean all the electronic faults ; there were no need to change electronic modules... I still don't understand why and how...

    $21k Kia K4 has better backkup camera than _ANY_ of my Porsche's

    Same thing for the front... where is the front right corner ? When the area is red, with continuous tone, it's almost impossible to know where the corner is...

    $21k Kia K4 has better backkup camera than _ANY_ of my Porsche's

    Yes horrible, moreover, you never see the corners of the car, front and back, it's all red with continuous tone and the car is not so close from the wall. So I need to disable the red/yellow/white colour to see something, but I still can't see the corner of my car. so totally useless in tiny...

    Taking my Macan ev turbo to the track

    almost same objective here, but different choices. I plan to do the different levels of the Porsche track experience with the PEC cars, and in the end, maybe buy a car that suits the track needs. It gives me some time to find the money for a gt3 😊

    Updated 2026 Macan - Upgrades, Improvements & Features

    Hopefully it will not change For you. I own my Macan since 2024, all was fine. A month ago, red circles have appeared, and after 2 dealership interventions, I've planned the third one for exactly the same reason... I can't afford to stop my car in the middle of nowhere, shut it down, restart...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Fair enough. in the meantime, for instance, my french purchase order stated in januray 2024 "360 surround cameras [3d]", and then, it's disappeared. I'm pretty sure Porsche changed its plan regarding this option, and it took one more year to be ready with an up to date hardware&software. same...

    Worst 1 year review of the Macan 4 - EVER. 8 months at the dealership for issues.

    After thousands of km without problems, I’ve had 3 types of red circles of death (plus several yellow ones - pcm, direction, awd system) each 500/1000 km. The solution was to apply the WSD0 update in early September, and now, I experience each 50 km one red circle of death (and the ones that...

    $21k Kia K4 has better backkup camera than _ANY_ of my Porsche's

    Frankly, @sor the camera is almost useless in specific conditions: same underground parking, cameras were efficient with my 2012 Audi a6 360 view, and it’s not the case with the ones in the macan. I’ll take photos of the screen to show you the problem. and it’s the same for the back view when...

    $21k Kia K4 has better backkup camera than _ANY_ of my Porsche's

    25 year ago, cars were smaller, and as a consequence easier to park without cameras. Obviously at that time, the tech wasn’t ready to provide us with such systems. However, if you don’t see the problem with an over priced Option regarding the very old tech which makes the 360 camera almost...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Don’t bet toot much on the WSD0 campaign. they’ve installed it on my car 10 days ago to solve red/yellow/white circles of death which I had 1/2 times per 1000 km ; and now they occur each 50 km, a pain in the ass. It was also supposed to solve the random non charging iPhone issue, lol. the...
