    On my 'My Porsche' app, and alert appeared to change the cabin air filter. On the Macan 4 cabin screen, there is no service alert; in fact it shows no filter replacement is due for 250+ days. . . Any one else getting this?

    Macan 4 multiple simultaneous system failures

    One week in, and still no resolution for the failure warnings. The dealer did a software update which glitched and bricked my Macan for day. They were able to resolve that and then diagnosed a control unit failure - analysis was showing a quadruple height sensor failure, so the thought was it...

    Macan 4 multiple simultaneous system failures

    Received a call today from the service department. Indication was that all diagnostic tests passed, but the multiple system error messages and reduced functions are still present.

    daylight savings fail?

    I too have the time change issue. I set the Porsche time to Alaska (I am in California) which solved the issue. Apple CarPlay clock (standard screen and the Clock widget) were, of course, correct.

    Porsche NACS complimentary adapter email

    Yesterday I called Porsche @10:41 PDT to ask about my NACS adapter, since I had not received any communication about this. The rep said he would expedite the request. At 2:41 PDT I received the order email and after I submitted the form, I got a follow up email confirming my order. I

    Porsche NACS complimentary adapter email

    I called my Porsche dealer and here is his text reply re the NACS adapter Just verified, it looks like they will be sending out complimentary adapters and your vehicle qualifies. It will essentially be a warranty claim process, however, they have not opened the campaign for it allowing us to...

    Picayune issue after detailing Macan 4

    I have had my Macan 4 about 10 months and have washed / detailed it several times. Cleanup is perfect except for one issue: the rubber strips on both sides of the windshield turn up with very visible white spots after washing (see pic). This is the only part of the car that spots like this...

    Anyone get a Porsche Safety recall notice?

    I received written notice for the rear camera (intermittent failure) issue. I have not experienced this on my Macan 4. Was by the dealer and the service rep said it was a 'make an appointment and bring it in for a day' situation. Think I will wait as see if the fall major software update...

    Easy way to toggle between normal regen(recuperation)/coasting without binding to steering wheel diamond button?

    On a whim, I asked the Porsche voice activated assist to "Turn on automatic recuperation". Works! Now I can hands-free turn on/off regen. I have my diamond button set to turn on rear camera - I have markers on the garage floor I can line up to assure I am parked in the perfect spot.

    Missing bolt?

    Random(?) Error Messages

    For the first two months with my Macan 4, I received no error messages. In the last two weeks, I have seen two. They dismiss and do no return after a power down period. Has anyone else had this? Also, I have no idea what 'visit workshop' is referring to. Dealer?

    Storage Space Under Luggage Area

    For those of you who do not have the Bose subwoofer, I found that the travel charging bag fits in the cavity below the luggage area (see pic). I had to make sure all the components in the bag sat flat (not on top of each other). I also put in a movers padded blanket in case I need some extra...

    Software issue with DC charging

    This week I tried my first DC charge at an Electrify America terminal - no success. I took my Macan to the dealer and it turned out to be a software glitch which prevented the already established and verified Porsche-Electrify America account to be seen by the Charge app. The technician reset...
