    FitcamX dashcam. Anybody installed one?

    Full warranty doesn't mean that it won't stop working, just that you might get it fixed if it does. I occasionally pop out the microsd card from mine (FitcamX) in the Audi and look at it. So far, it hasn't failed. I installed one in my wife's Volvo today, and it was a breeze. The Audio was a...

    Software issues/update

    It's unlikely the brand of fast charger affects anything. Have you fast charged elsewhere? If this is your first time fast charging, it might be that there was some problem in the charging controller in the car and it blew some circuit? Also, you "get" 3.7 .... what?

    [FAQ] - Question: I'm a new EV/Macan owner - I'm stressed about the battery…

    The one thing you can do is to set the "max charge" to 80%, which will do the most to preserve the battery for longevity. At the expense of having to plan ahead if you're going to want to drive 280 miles instead of 220 (or whatever your conversion/speed factor is.) This does make the battery...

    [FAQ] What exactly does the AR HUD do? [Augmented Reality Heads-Up Display]

    FWIW: I do not have the chrono package nor the compass (flat dash), but the AR HUD does show G forces when I pull a strong acceleration and turn.

    While my 4s was at the dealer... They gave me a 4s rental with very different options. Some observations!

    2. Heads Up Display- maybe at $1k, not at $2.5k. Easy to live without this. It doesn't work well with polarized sunglasses anyway I'm a HUD must-haver -- everyone's different though! My wife is a sunglasses wearer and can't read it. I think this is a shame, though, because it's possible to make...

    Confirmed: 3.5% Tariff on all new Porsche products through the end of 2025.

    Every price is negotiable. The dealer may not want to negotiate, but they're also paying interest on cars on the lot. Call 'em back in a few and see if they're ready to let it go at $111k.

    CPO inventory piling up at dealers? any idea why?

    FWIW, I had been looking at a PTS order on the Porsche Configurator, and the configurator then told me "did you know this dealer actually has one like this in stock?" A plane trip later and a way of driving from SoCal to NorCal later, I got a PTS Turbo at 4% off, and whoever had ordered it...

    Using ACC with and without ALK

    I like the ALK on the freeway, but the LKA warnings are way too sensitive. Also, they seem to trigger for ghosts with some frequency -- more so than on my '22 Audi e-tron GT. (Which as far as I can tell has a control system similar to the Taycan) Also, there are *two* buttons on the control...

    My customizations & accessories

    I just talked to their support. I've used one for my Audi e-tron GT, and am now putting one into my Macan Turbo Electic. You will want "model A." These do *not* make use of the OEM pre-wire. Instead, they use a Y-harness that hooks into the rain sensor power using legitimate connectors -- once...

    Retrofit adaptive cruise control

    As far as I understand, the ACC needs additional sensors that cannot be installed and calibrated at a service center, it has to be done at the factory. My guess is you're better off selling your current car and buying one with the feature you want instead.
