That is disappointing! The feature I was most looking forward to from the software update was elimination of the recurring Assistance Systems Limited warnings. I haven’t gotten them yet during the first week since I got my 4S back from service, but I’m not optimistic since I’ve already...
Has anyone installed the Blackvue Elite 8 in the Macan EV? I’m interested in purchasing the new Elite 9 which is about to be released but heard that the Elite series may not work in parking mode if hardwired into the fuse box as the fuses provide constant power and that installation may void the...
I read somewhere that the luggage cover attachment clips could fail, however I never had any issues with mine and can’t see any difference.
Had I known what the passenger seatbelt clip replacement looked like then I would have rejected it as well since I was very happy with my aftermarket...
Back to the software update topic, I picked up my 4S from service today where 5 recalls were addressed in 1-1/2 days including the VR28.13 software update, luggage compartment cover replacement, front passenger seatbelt slider replacement, and reversing camera replacement (see repair notes...
I’m scheduled to get the latest update along with 4 other recall campaign fixes for my MY25 Macan 4S on Thursday. Looking forward to permanently eliminating the Assistance Systems Limited warnings once and for all!
Thanks for the heads up. I haven’t received a shipping confirmation email yet, however I checked FedEx and see that I too have a package from PCNA Atlanta sent from MN being processed for delivery on Friday.
Here’s the Porsche press release issued today in case anyone hasn’t seen it:

Agreed. Between the inaccurate distance sensors and distorted fisheye rear camera, it’s especially hard to determine how close I am to objects when in reverse. Not quite as bad for objects in front.
I would also be interested to hear if sensor recalibration is possible and ideally (but...
I wish Guards Red was an option when I bought my 4S. It also looked great in Signal Yellow which was shown in many of the launch photos but not released as a standard color option.
I wasn’t planning to ride today but decided to put on my Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack to test out the functionality of the Curt 57004 adapter. The sensors beeped briefly in reverse, then the Macan went into trailer mode (indicated by an alert that trailer mode was engaged and assistance systems would...
I’m happy with my Homelink range which is about 6-7 car lengths. I also found that LED bulbs on the garage door opener were previously interfering with the remote signal.
The Curt 57004 and C35FR is the same model and is needed if you plan to connect any lights which have a 4-pin (or 5-pin) connector since the Porsche has a 7-pin socket.
I would recommend this adapter instead of the Pollak 12-716 4-pin adapter mentioned above since it is not “LED compatible”...
Thanks for the suggestion. The Curt 7 to 4 pin adapter worked for me as well.
Here are links to the two adapters needed for those that didn’t get a Pollak covered 7-pin plug on delivery and only have a plate covering the trailer light port:
Pollak covered 7-pin socket: Pollak 11-893P RV 7-Way...
Did your Macan come with a covered 7-pin port or did you have to buy one to replace the cover plate as I did? If you had to buy an adapter with a cover plate, which one did you get?
I wish I could just buy a 7-blade connector like that to automatically switch the car into trailer mode and...
I got defective trailer light warnings when plugging in Curt auxiliary trailer lights into the Pollak adapter (suggested above) together with a Pollak 7 to 4 pin adapter. When I used an LED tester on the 7-pin socket, it also failed to test positive for the brake and turn signal lights.
I plan...
Does the U.S. tow hitch option include a standard 4-pin trailer light connector and wiring harness under the square plate with the 4 torque screws next to the 2” hitch (see attached photo)?
If so, any recommendations on an easily removable connector cover that would fit the Macan EV? I’m not...
