I suspect it's related to how quickly the dashboard display program starts vs how quickly carplay connects and starts. If the dashboard manages to start first, it doesn't have a source selected so it goes to the source list. If carplay manages to start first then it shows the track page as...
Mine sort of does the same, but I think it's because I'm playing from CarPlay. When the car starts up, CarPlay isn't connected, so it just shows the source options. Once CarPlay connects, it then doesn't always go back to the track info, but if you hit the back button on the steering wheel...
Just to make sure, when you go to Account, Charging Service in the app, does it show a subscription? That has to be there before it can do anything else related to plug&charge.
I could see a future plug&charge capability in existing Macans, but maybe not with CP since they lock the cables before authorizing. In terms of how the Macan could work with multiple charge networks via Plug&Charge, one of either of the below could work:
1. They had the coming multi-network...
To see if you have a shot of getting Apple Car Key, check the part# on your current fob. The PPE1B-433 only supports standard RFID, but PPE1C-433 also supports UWB. If you have the UWB keys there's a much better chance your car could get Car Key. Still no guarantee they will add it to cars...
Also, to clarify, unless the battery is almost full, using the brake pedal used blended braking, meaning regen happens for the first part of the braking action. The regen on/off that the Macan supports is just the regen on liftoff from the accelerator pedal.
The one scenario I can think of is if the adaptive cruise / camera system is offline because it got dirty and you're in the middle of nowhere, but you'd still settle for the old style cruise control.
I definitely understand that a full size spare wouldn't fit in the Macan, but I do wish they would have designed the frunk to hold a donut spare. There are some sections of highway in the US, and a lot of backroad trails, where there is zero cell-phone coverage and calling for roadside...
Of every person that commented on the thread, you and 1 or 2 other people agreed that creep should be off by default. With the summary as you wrote it, I have to believe you're actually a Grok bot, complete with Elon's distortion filter.
For a true faraday cage, the cage needs to be connected to something to either absorb or dissipate the RF energy. Most typically it would be connected to the electrical ground for the building.
Is the faraday box grounded? Without grounding it is just a metal cage which will only attenuate the signals, and the signal from the car may be powerful enough for the key to sense and keep itself on.
Are the keys normally kept within 30 feet of the car? If so, it could be the UWB radio is staying active in the key instead of shutting down (UWB uses a lot more energy than NFC).
Also, you want your foot on the brake pedal when you're stopped because if you are rear-ended, when you naturally start to stiffen your body after the initial jerk of the collision, you want your foot to mash the break so it stops you from continuing further into an intersection and exposing you...
Yeah, that's only required if you forgot / lose your PIN. If you have to reset the PIN without knowing the current one, then you need to factory reset in the car afterwards.
My thoughts are similar. I didn't get the Macan instead of the Q6 because of prestige or how it looks. For me was handling, more physical controls for climate (now if only there was a dedicated "previous" button on the stereo), and I do like the interior a bit better, but not significantly so.
I've loved my 3 EVs (i-Pace, iX, Macan), but I have to say there aren't many places that tax cars correctly to account of wear and tear on the roads. EVs are heaver than comparable ICE vehicles, even fully loaded with fuel. Trucks, especially industrial trucks, even more so.
The fairest way...
I was still able to access the PCM, just nothing related to the account. Clicking the menu icon on the left still worked in my case, so I could get to settings. If yours can't even do that you probably have to take it in so they can hard reset it by rerunning PDI.
