    Rear Camera not working

    Book your car in for the major software upgrade which is now available and should address most if not all of these false positive notifications. I had this error on a new demo and it eventually went away. Can also be due to dirty or moisture laden sensors / camera (windshield) The camera may be...

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    Both the Macan and Cayenne EVs are overpriced IMHO. The competition now avalanching its way to these shores from China is testament to that and getting better all the time. Tech and pricing surpass all. Porsche and others need to watch out as they continue to struggle in the EV space. Agree the...

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    GTS all day long - generally the sweet spot of any Porsche model. I've owned a Taycan 4S and GTS previously and the GTS was the better car to drive. Road test will confirm the same. Luggage space differential is not maternal is due to the Bose subwoofer occupying space beneath the hidden...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Expect more from MY26 in terms of options / features / updates but don't expect retro upgrades such as Porsche Digital Key (hardware - door handle internals - are different) for example. GTS is not a track car either IMHO. It may be lower (10mm) to the ground and have PTV+ (also an option in...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    In UK during winter and low ambient temps the preconditioning prior to DC charging will not be achieved by simply driving around. Driving like you stole it in Sport Plus will help but not practical for many. My experience is with 2 Taycans and unless the battery was around 32C max DC charging...

    Winter Weather - Rear Camera Wash Function

    Yes it will. Sometimes you may need to keep pressing the washer to ensure water is delivered.

    MY '26 Info Request (3D Surround View/Kerb Assist vs 2D Surround View 'side' view)

    Best to check the MY26 Owner's manual as no one will have an MY26 car but the manual has been updated. From what I can tell there are various bells and whistles with the 3D version beyond 2D - including some 'transparent bonnet'. Parking features will be limited so best read up and decide if...

    New Remote Parking Assist and restrictions

    1st world problem for sure and not sure many people would pay for such an option! I guess that's not the point and suspect it may be a configurator glitch as I can think of no technical reason.

    Suspension & RWS questions/concerns

    You will experience on damp slippery surfaces when manoeuvring - no question or debate.

    Suspension & RWS questions/concerns

    It is not related to RAS and normally is experienced from the front wheels. Given the Ackerman effect is noticeable on all Porsches with or without RAS (front axle generated) you will experience it.

    English language but German text on PCM?

    Taycans in the early days suffered from this - notably with NAV - poor software (still) but will self heal.

    Suspension & RWS questions/concerns

    Slow speed (manoeuvring) skipping is 100% normal on all Porsches - Ackermann effect.

    Rename Navigation Favorites

    Not sure that you can. I don't have the Macan EV bit tried the app on my 911 with no success. I've not tried in the PCM but try touching and holding to see if that gives you the option OR swipe left / right (may just delete) OR see what's listed under the adjacent option menu "..."...

    Charge in cold weather

    Yep - pretty drastic and short journeys (as per ICE) will see your consumption rise notably.

    My Porsche app: New ‘Online Software Update’ / OTA Function?

    I've been courteous and patient to this point as you clearl have no clue or prepared to accept detailed advice / knowledge. Do not mix an update to the app for a feature which already existed and configurable since launch. You clearly don't know the product you purchased.

    My Porsche app: New ‘Online Software Update’ / OTA Function?

    I know...I have several too and been through the many iterations of Porsche Connect, My Porsche etc. Read the Owner's Manual as I indicated earlier - OTA is nothing new for the Macan EV but rather the appearance of an existing feature set might be (which was previously buried within the PCM...

    My Porsche app: New ‘Online Software Update’ / OTA Function?

    @daveo - thanks for chipping in here as there are some folk who just don't accept that this is nothing new.
