    New native Apple Music app!

    Native Apple Music + Podcasts has been a thing on the Taycan since launch (2019) followed by Spotify a year or so later. Both need an active subscription which is handy if you already have one. Same across other Porsche models (911 in my case) and easily linked via PCM services in My Porsche...

    Any benefit connecting Macan to home WiFi AP?

    No reason to unless you have poor cell reception, Installing new PCM apps might be a reason in the future if you risk exceeding your allowance or don't renew your pass. Porsche Connect is 10 years from new and is independent and uses a separate integrated eSIM.

    TPMS pressures don't match pressure measured with gage

    Check the tyre selection in the PCM matches what's fitted to your car.

    Anybody installed soft closing doors?

    Some folk have done this on the Taycan before it became an option - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/aftermarket-softclose-doors.4036/post-69160 Take care if car still in CPO warranty

    Random Braking

    Random braking can occur for various reasons and not necessarily fault related Speed limit recognition, automatically adapt speed setting, speed limter off. Some features are set with the navigation and due to poor road signage and mapping data can be the issue here too. Driving in bright...

    Remote parking

    I think you've exhausted the options and not likely to be user error. The system has limitations which are outlined in the manual but to be honest I wouldn't use it as it just wouldn't work in my use cases nor would I trust it if it did.

    Tilting passenger-side mirror when reversing.

    I believe that was in the manual since launch. Feature has been around for decades on other Porsches with the same toggle and position setting.

    UK - options price and lead time.

    I believe it is. GAP is tricky to discount as it is an insurance policy not underwriters by Porsche. Gtechniq is normally provided by the dealer direct and so lots of room for movement.

    UK - options price and lead time.

    Tyre & wheel £450 for 2 years. Not all dealers provide both. GAP can be cheaper elsewhere (full back to invoice cover). Gtechniq £550.

    UK - options price and lead time.

    I've had it on most of my Porsches from new and I would recommend. Particularly good job on my 911. I've not polished either car since new (the Macan has turned 4 now) and both gleam.

    UK - options price and lead time.

    Standard LED lights have auto dimming. Matrix is more sophisticated and worth it if if you do a lot of night driving. Matrix HD (not currently an option) are a step up. 3 pin 240v socket as standard in rear hatch. 12v in the front. Discounts are low - car has reasonable demand in UK. Push...

    Any news on changes for Macan EV for 2027?

    £1,361 option in UK Waste of money as most people don't have 3 phase electric supply and will not waste time public AC charging when DC is available. Good to see it as an option and hopefully is more reliable than it was on the Taycan. Also an option on the Cayenne EV.

    Any news on changes for Macan EV for 2027?

    On UK MY27 configurator so probably a glitch on NA (elsewhere).

    Any news on changes for Macan EV for 2027?

    Porsche fit Comfort Entry/Access as standard on most models these days - Cayenne, 911, Taycan, Panamera - not sure that the perceived security risk is a reason to not have it given it is user configurable and can be disabled totally if desired. I'd skip the remote park assist personally on the...

    The Multimedia system is very poor for MENA

    Both wireless Android Auto and CarPlay are standard since launch but I suspect the feature set has been disabled for certain countries for whatever contractual or legislative reason. Check your Owner's Manual to see what might be listed. I suspect the services could be activated with the...

    2025 CPO Low miles - battery health at 85% - is this ok?

    Not sure that's true and can depend on options fitted to the car. The Owner's Manual doesn't specify but I understand that AGM is the default but if you have Rear Axle Steering then a LiFePO4 will be in use. My 992.2 current model 911 for example has an AGM battery but the Targa / GTS models...

    4S Range

    Not all spaces are equal but my Macan ICE easily fits in all so far so the EV equivalent will do so also. Best bays for width are at Costco!

    4S Range

    Yip, in my view. I'm used to larger vehicles (Panamera, various Cayennes and several Taycans) as they afford more space which is a luxury. That said the Cayenne is the same width and only 20 cm longer. Add RAS and the perception of size issues dissipates.
