I very much appreciate this thread and threads like it. We bought a new BMW iX and the very first day I had it, I tried the same function in our own neighborhood. Just to see how it worked. And it’s slowly ground a new 22 inch wheel into a curb. Of course the manual says using that...

small detail: put the TESLA charging adapter and a NACS to CCS level 2 adapter in the FRONK - not under the floor of the boot- to make it easier to get when you have luggage in the back. Also carry window cleaner and rags there.

overheard in Stuggart... "think we should spend a little time trying to get our matrix headlights approved for use in the US?" "why should we? Americans pay for them whether they work on not!"

Yeah when we bought a Cayenne with matrix headlights, my dealer said a regulation change was expected "any day now". That was 5 years ago.

If you live in the US, adding LED Matrix Design Headlights is a $1,280 option. And for that, you get a light that turns on when you make a right or left turn from a stop, and you get auto high beam dimming. And that's it, right? For that you could get noise insulated glass instead. Or a...

Money-grab options in the US: Having ordered 3 new Porsches by now, and gotten burned by the "spec it the way you want" / 50% on options even though options have zero residual value thing- I am thinking of 8 way myself on the next one. I'm going to make a prioritized list of options I want, go...

Check the service history. I have noticed that Carfax often reports dates a car was in for service, but omits *why* it was in. It may say "inspection / fluids checked" or something generic. If you see lots of dates the car was in, there may have been a recurring issue that never got fixed. I...

I had a BMW iX with Apple car key. Like @PastaSource I always carried the key card as a backup. But in BMW's case, that key card didn't work sometimes. About once a year, I'd have to give my iPhone to a valet to park or retrieve my car. At a big Las Vegas hotel, after a long wait, the valet...

It is on eBay at https://www.ebay.com/itm/157502430915 - anyone here can make me an offer at $195 and I will accept. John

Just in time for Christmas- I'll part with this for $195 with buyer paying shipping. It's been unused, unopened, in original wrapping in our garage. That's a genuine Porsche cover for a great price. I can be reached at [email protected] . Thanks everyone

I cut and scanned the small instruction booklet that came with the Porsche NACS DC Adapter we received recently- and attached it in case anybody wants one. NACS DC Adapter Owners Manual (PDF)

We are a 2 Macan S family, one with 20" S wheels and the other with 21's. I was suprised by how much more I like the 20's. The ride is still sporty but more comfortable. If I keep the car past it's 3 year lease, I would swap the wheels if practically possible.

I have optional rear window shades in my S, and internal components rattle. I can simulate it by shaking the open door. No resolution- FWIW

I have always appreciated when our iPhone 16's connect via carplay, and you use apple maps to set a destination, the apple maps shows up in the center of the drivers display. But lately, after a while, it "disappears". A few seconds later the Porsche NAV screen replaces it, with no directions...

re the digital key- I had it on a BMW ix xDrive 50. But when you stop at a restaurant with valet parking, or stop at a car wash, or take it for service, you either need the physical key or you have to leave your mobile phone with a valet. On a trip, it didn't work one time, so we always...

FYI this is still available if anyone wants it- going to "best offer" (-: John

Great Paolo- please email me and we will take it from there (so we don't give out personal information on a public forum (-: ) [email protected] Thanks- John

sorry- duh right? *edit* less than Half price. $349. John

Original Porsche Macan 4 Electric Outdoor Car cover- in blue with black bag. You can see all details on this at www dot tequipment-finder dot porsche dot com ...

Same thing for us and our 4s- passenger side manual flap misaligned on delivery (12/2024)- and by now it's fine. So much for thinking "well, it's not going to fix itself!". It did. Fix itself.
