    Extended Parking Update

    Mine's down 2% from 80% after a month and counting. I did check up on it a fair bit initially as it was having some Porsche attention and was moved a short distance to their long term parking. (Using the app to get an update activates the Big Battery each time, so isn't recommended). So the 2%...

    1st Time ABRP Premium User Thoughts with the Macan EV

    Be interesting to see your results. My initial grumble with the Porsche PCM nav here in Australia is that it currently doesn't have the Tesla charging stations that are open to non-Tesla vehicles. They're amongst the best chargers here, and often cheaper than the competition so it's a...

    From a BMW i4 to a Macan 4 - here's my comparison after 10 days......

    No. 10! Thought I was going to have to take my very expensive car back to the dealer to get that random creaking fixed, until I worked out it was the passenger belt. Fixed by flicking the buckle up to the top but a pain in the 4rse to need to do it each time. As for 30, the manual says so I...

    Mobile app stopped syncing

    My car had this issue - all fine for a couple of weeks, then went dark. It spent about a 10 days at the dealership with them trying to sort it out. One of the problems with these EV's is that it appears that they need to phone the Vaderland if it's anything more complex, and with the time...

    Bike racks?

    I guess US spec is different from EU/AU. Mine was AU$1650 when spec'd with the car. It's one of those disappearing towball things, so it folds away under the car when not in use. Not quite as versatile as the square receiver-type, but better aesthetics. The official bike carrier solution for...

    (Yet) Another Macan 4S review

    Wow - that's a significant chunk off. Here in Aus, there's zero chance of a discount from Porsche. There'll be a bit off when they move their demo models on leter, but they don't seem to order and hold significant stock. My local dealer sold their turbo demonstrator the day after they were...

    FitcamX dashcam. Anybody installed one?

    From memory (it's been a while since I looked at the fitcamx), if you want the rear camera as well you still need to run a cable between the two. I wonder how difficult it would be to figure out the necessary connections in Porsche's 'prep for dashcam' cabling. That way you 'd only need to...

    (Yet) Another Macan 4S review

    I'm curious about comments from owners in Trumpland and Blighty about ending up with alcantara unwillingly, or being "too late for Papaya". Is this because you don't want to wait for a personally spec'd car and are ordering cars off dealer's lots, or do you just not have the option to configure?

    Tariffs Made Me Do It

    You boys have heard of wall street's TACO meme when it comes to tariffs...? Trump Always Chickens Out? There've been so many to and fro back-pedaling decision reversals that I wouldn't make any long term decisions based on current political posturing (apart from an excuse to get more Porsches...

    Wireless CarPlay Adapter

    Carplay suddenly stopped working with my iPhone 16b pro. It' fine with the wife's and the blokes at the local Porsche dealership's iPhones. I'll have a go at deleting the driver profile as suggested (I've tried everything else). I might also try a backup and factory reset of the iphone if that...

    [AUS] Homelink conversion for all

    I opted not to buy the Meross because it's (currently) not matter/thread compatible - I'm no longer putting any smart devices in my smarthome that needs it's own hub or app.

    [AUS] Homelink conversion for all

    Seems odd hey - they all come out of the same factory after all. Probably some bureaucratic legal nonsense about the frequency range it operates in. I'm not sure I'd option it again - with about the same tinkering effort, I can ask Siri to open the door as I pull into the drive. Probably half...

    [AUS] Homelink conversion for all

    It was one of the options to tick. Gives you three buttons under the rear view mirror, all of which can be programmed to do various homelinky things.

    [AUS] Homelink conversion for all

    I'm in Australia (also known as ROW to the denizens of Murica ;)), so the frequencies may be specific to Aus, but the principle is the same wherever you are. As long as your garage door controller has a couple of terminals to wire an external switch to (like the traditional bell-push button to...
