I had my car updated to VR28.13 the week before last and everything worked fine, in including CarPlay connectivity. All of a sudden yesterday my Macan would not connect to CarPlay. I'm trying to work out if this is a weird 26.2 b3 issue, a VR28.13 issue, or maybe a combination of both. I've...

Whilst working in the boot/trunk of the Macan Turbo yesterday I tried to open the flap on the AC outlet on the left hand side. This had previously opened easily to reveal a multi pin socket suitable for many plugs worldwide (US, China, New Zealand/Australia). It would not open, first I thought...

Has anyone figured out if it is possible to disable the buttons that open the front and rear hatch on the keyfob, and ideally the buttons on by the drivers door window switches? They’re easy to activate and I’ve had the misfortunate to accidentally open the rear hatch from the drivers door...

The issue where iOS won’t connect to CarPlay if your PCM is connected to your home network still exists in iOS 18.4.1 and after the latest software updated completed 2/5. I’m fairly sure this is a PCM issue rather than iOS as my Abarth 500e is connected to my home WiFi but never has any CarPlay...

I dropped by Macan Turbo (late November 2024 build) off at my Porsche Centre for a few things to be looked at today: - rear left child lock malfunction requiring replacement - adjust the wipers that occasionally hit the right hand (drivers side) A-pillar when in use - software update campaign -...

Does anyone know what specifically the “Dynamic Positioning” setting in the HUD is designed to do? It’s noticeable absent from the online manuals, unless I’ve somehow managed to miss it. On another note, does anyone feel the Macan HUD has a bit of a weird floaty feeling? Not something I’ve...

After what it seems like years of waiting dating back to seriously looking at Taycan, waiting for the facelift details, then the Macan EV release, and finally placing an order for Macan Turbo in April 2024...it's finally come in Port of Auckland yesterday (March 17) and arrived at the dealer...

There are some interesting design and technical tidbits in this video:

Not a surprise to me: https://insideevs.com/news/753247/porsche-macan-electric-only-official-new-hybrid-crossover/

What is the experience like in the Macan PCM when you have multiple CarPlay or Android Auto devices connected? Is that even possible, is switching between two devices straight forward?

Interesting perspective, and actually the conclusion I came to when deciding to go Macan Turbo over a Taycan 4S/Turbo CT. YMMV.

Apologies if this info was in plain sight, but I could not find it with a search. Do we know the precise build week/date that the Macan EV changed to a 2025 model year?

Two new options added with the introduction of the Macan and Macan 4S where Frame center console leather or race-tex. I'm considering optioning this to perhaps increase the interior quality feel by reducing the hard plastic around that area. What do others think, and do we have any clear...

Has anyone seen what the internal reference for the Macan electric is? Previous generations were 95B.1, 95B.3, and 95B.2, is the electric 95B.4?

On the NZ Macan configurator Innodrive is not available to select, all the other driver assistance is standard on the Turbo here in NZ, I'm fairly sure it should be supported here, maybe it will be a FoD later on?

What does everyone think of the interior trim and accents options? Do we expect the Extended Leather with Turbinate package to suit the interior of the car? I'm a bit torn and wondering weather "Interior trim: leather" and "interior accents: black" might be the way to go and a few less colours...

The Macan Turbo comes standard with the side blades in Turbonite (at least in NZ). Has anyone seen what the finish of these might be like on other models? In the configurator it looks like a matte finish. I’m wondering if the gloss black might look better, and that seems to be what Porsche...

I have not come across it, but has anyone seen whether the Macan EV or the PPE platform will support Apple CarKey?

I was playing with the configurator (in NZ) and then reviewing the PDF that the configuration can produce. It contains some confusing information about the “Club leather - Leather package with extensive items in leather” option “Extended leather package, Black (with interior package in...
