@Redtiger posted a few weeks ago asking for volunteers to review their F17 Elite dash cam. I didn’t volunteer because I have the FitCamX, which is virtually invisible, and I’m short on time. A few weeks later, they contacted me and asked if I’d review it. I eventually accepted and will start...

The WWDC continues to reveal surprises after the Monday keynote, as the sessions with the developers are ongoing. Newest info is iOS 26 will allow videos to be streamed on CarPlay (regular and Ultra) when the car is parked. Updates will be needed for apps to support this but fully expect a...

Yesterday my Ice Grey Turbo was picked up by the dealership to update the car (WSD0 - Install Upgrade to the Software Network VR28.11 recall). I didn't have any issue with my cameras but might as well get it taken care of. They brought a loaner and to my surprise, they brought a heavily specced...

Debating between the Uniden R8 and Valentine 1 Gen 2. Any feedback on either? Thanks!

As you (should) know, it is not possible to change the settings of the Normal drive mode - at least in the US. You can only store a different Chassis or Chassis Level setting under Sport / Sport+ / Off-road. I mostly drive either in Normal (Chassis set to Normal, Chassis Level set to Low) or in...

The new Audi A6 e-tron, built on the PPE platform, quietly welcomes an exciting new feature: Carkey. Carkey stores a virtual key on your phone and allows to open the car, start it and even share a temporary key with a friend. The Audi A6 e-tron is the first to get it, we can now hope other...

It's been almost 3 months since I got my Macan Turbo and to this day, still absolutely love the car. Very happy with its features, so only added a few things, here's the list. 1. Cubby organizer Already described the tray itself and adding felt in other posts, will just say @cottony's...

This weekend, I ran into a very odd issue: I am unable to choose the level/height of the chassis (Lift, Normal, Low, ...). The information is gone both from the PCM > Drive screen and the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel (little icon on the right). I can however feel the car...

Hi @Administrator, While I kinda like the badge shown on the profile, I can’t say I love it being mandatory. Seeing a number of members who don’t own a Macan (or are even quite critical about them) that feature a Turbo badge on their profile for instance. This sends the wrong signal to other...

Chatting with a Porsche marketing person, they confirmed the average Porsche customer is about 55 years old. EV tend to be computer on wheels and as a general rule, we could expect younger people to be more at ease with how to operate them (system wise). It got me curious - how old are the...

After being away for a little bit, I'm catching up on what happened here and was amused/surprised at all the new threads and questions asked. Which makes me wonder, do you read the manual of the car or just wing* it? *Winging it includes asking questions here. ?

Edit: Explanation is in post 5 below. -- Original post: I got my Turbo on a 24mo one-pay lease as I've detailed in other threads. Signed a check for $50k+ and in a couple of years, I can choose to keep the car (and pay $70k+) or return it at likely no cost. Looking at my first statement from...

After months of wait, I finally picked up my 2025 Macan Turbo today. Specs-wise: Ice Grey Metallic exterior, no badges Black/Turbonite interior 21” Michelin on Turbo rims Sport Chrono package Rear Axle Steering Innodrive with ALK A few other minor things I didn’t have too much time at the...

I realize it doesn’t apply to most countries in the world but what the heck: happy Turkey day! ? We don’t always agree on everything (and we shouldn’t) but I wanted to thank you all for participating and making this board a fun/friendly place to be around. And sometimes, on occasion, I learn a...

People keep saying “leasing gets you $7.5k credit, it’s amazing” and I have been very vocal (say here or here) about leases being a money suck, especially when wanting to purchase at lease end. I always based my stance on the interests paid over the course of the lease but then came across the...

We all know cars devaluate the minute they leave the dealer’s lot, but EV in particular have it worse. Based on your experience with other EV you’ve owned, what was the drop in value after 24 or 36/39 months? Feel free to add details below!

The Macan EV comes with 2 types of badges: - Model designation in the back - “electric” on the sides In some markets, they can be deleted at order placement while in others, it has to be done post delivery. Are you planning on keeping all, some or none at all? Any reason why?

Now that my Macan is a couple weeks from arriving, my nerdy self is waking up. I used to play with ForScan on my Mustang Mach-e and would like to explore (hidden?) options on the Macan. Does anyone know what version of PIWIS allows to connect to the new Macan EV? Looking at the websites selling...

The visit at PEC ATL was *very* interesting! I had booked 2 sessions, my plan was to do one sitting in the front and one in the back. Didn’t quite go as expected - for the better. Arrival I went early so I could also visit the Porsche Heritage museum (floor B1). It’s actually fairly small...

Received this earlier, did others get something similar - not only in North America (which I expect) but other countries too? The video is this one:
