    New software version coming week 36 of 2025

    Same --- took my Turbo to a Toronto dealership to swap winter/summer wheels and was advised that there was a workshop campaign available to install an upgrade to software network VR28.11. I don't know how long the upgrade took but they were able to swap wheels, perform the update and wash the...

    Most recent My Porsche App update issues

    I have version 15.25.14-pcna+118251 and all seems to be ok. I can set a Departure Time.

    Spoiler confusing me

    Impact on drag for any aerodynamic surface is speed dependent. I think this confirms that the use of the spoiler in ECO setting is to reduce drag: https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2024/products/porsche-streamlining-macan-turbo-35945.html

    Spoiler confusing me

    Hmm, not sure about that. If, as you suggest, it's always aerodynamically beneficial to have the spoiler down, then why would the spoiler automatically deploy to the ECO level at 55kph even in NORMAL mode? You would think that Porsche would want to maximize range (especially in NORMAL mode)...

    Spoiler confusing me

    In the chart above, if "ECO" implies that the partial spoiler extension optimizes aerodynamic drag between 55 and 150 kph, then could it be inferred that having the spoiler fully extended (e.g., when in SPORT PLUS mode) in this speed range has a detrimental effect on range (due to increased...

    Looking for feedback on Turbo, would you buy again?

    I have the full leather package (all black) in my Turbo and, IMHO, the additional panels (while not many more than with the partial leather option) really improve the overall feeling inside the car, giving it a more tailored look. Two notable areas where the additional leather is appreciated (by...

    Sound system Macan EV standard, bose, burmester

    I have the Burmester in my Turbo and find the clarity, separation and soundstage to be fantastic. However, I can't say that I've found the sub-bass to be particularly strong. Maybe a dumb question but how can I check that the subwoofer is operating properly (or operating at all)?

    Interior Door Handle Illumination?

    On my Turbo, there is no illumination in the small recesses around the interior door handles. This makes it difficult for a passenger unfamiliar with the location to find the handle at night (especially with an all black interior). The configurator images imply that there is illumination in this...

    Macan EV Wheels... help me choose! (pictures inside)

    I also selected the option to paint the calipers black. I wanted them to disappear, not stand out. IMHO, it's a better look with Frozen Blue.

    Macan EV Wheels... help me choose! (pictures inside)

    I really like the Turbo wheels and was deciding between the 21" Turbo and 22" Sport for my 2025 Frozen Blue Turbo (delivered in December). It eventually occurred to me that I can have both! I selected the 22" Macan Sport for my base build (car was delivered with Michelin Pilot Sport All-Seasons)...

    Direct Charging Toggle on App?

    Do you have a start time set or just the 6am end time? I have mine set to be complete by 7am but to start no earlier than 11pm (to take advantage of time of use rates). In my case, the charging always starts at 11pm (and usually done by 1am) rather than wait for a later start and completion by...

    Red Bullet List on MyPorsche Home Page?

    That worked! Thanks. My home screen now looks like this below (also reported by others in earlier post), with only a silhouette of the vehicle not my actual build (colour, wheels). I guess you can upload your own image in My Garage.

    Red Bullet List on MyPorsche Home Page?

    Does anyone know what this red "bullet list" is on the front page of MyPorsche app (see image below)? I thought it might indicate problem with my charging subscription but when I select Charging Service, everything seems to be set up and working (see 2nd image). I have yet to test the Plug &...

    What to do with right side dash area of piano black if no passenger display?

    I wasn't interested in the passenger display for my Turbo and actually prefer the overall look without it; I think the shape of the dash looks more balanced and integrated without the passenger display. I've had the car for about a month and it's definitely not a fingerprint magnet (and I have...

    Plug & Charge for Other Charging Networks?

    Apologies in advance if this a dumb question but does the Plug & Charge feature only work at Electrify America charging stations (Electrify Canada for those of us in the 51st state...) where we get 30 minutes of free charging for a couple of years, or will Plug & Charge work with other charging...

    No, you won't see Innodrive anywhere in the menus. If you see Adaptive Cruise Control with Active Lane Keep, then you have Innodrive.

    Wheel / tire size and winter performance?

    Unfortunately, too many assume that all-season tires are suitable in "light" winter conditions but my experience (45 years driving in Ontario) is that all-season compound will loose grip when temperatures are below freezing, even when roads are dry let alone when there's slush and snow. That's...
