    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    As of 4 pm on March 18 my current version of Google Maps is 26.11.1. Google is continuously updating Google Maps, but if you delete what you have and download Google Maps again you should get this or a more recent version and HUD should work automatically. Interestingly, Google is rolling out...

    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    Never mind. I figured it out. I guess if your navigating to a charging station, which I rarely have to do, it makes sense to use the PCM navigation. Otherwise, Google navigation appears to be the way to go.

    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    The new Google Maps has a very nice, clean display with a bunch of new features. Most Porsche vehicles use the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) navigation system with Porsche’s own map data. The routing and navigation logic come from Porsche, not Google. Porsche promises to incorporate...

    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    I've been using Apple Maps for my navigation with my 2024 Macan 4 since the Porsche GPS was not very good and Google Maps, among other things, didn't work with the head up display. That has now changed. The latest Google Maps has been updated and improved, and, surprise surprise, the head up...

    Owner’s Manual Update Available

    Hmmm. I didn't get this message and the version I have 1.0.2. What version do you have? I even deleted the owners manual and then downloaded it, but I still get v.1.0.2

    Gripes 6mo into ownership

    I've been driving my Macan 4 since October as well and have no real complaints. Oh, I would like to customize the display more, and be able to use Tesla charging, but everything seems to work quite well for me. Regarding your gripes: 1. It took me a little practice, but now I can open the...

    Picking up my EV 4S Wednesday - storing it indoors for 3 weeks. Battery drain an issue? Leave plugged in to 'wall' outlet?

    An engineer at Porsche, who appeared to be very knowledgable, told me to keep it plugged in with a maximum of no more that 80%, and it will trickle charge my 12v battery.

    Porsche commitment in EV market, are we going to be left behind ?

    I took delivery of my Macan No, you did not make a big mistake buying a Porsche electric. I took delivery of my Macan 4 on September 30, over four months ago, and I absolutely love it. There really is no other car on the market that I'd rather have. There were a few problems with my car...

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    I called Porsche (1-800-PORSCHE) and talked to a person in their EV department. I was told that if you are leaving your car for an extended period of time, the only thing you need to do is to connect the high-voltage charger to the car before you leave, making sure that the amount of the charge...

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    Your solution assumes that you can get into the car to "just zap the hood latch circuit on the driver's side left of the brake pedal", but how can you do this if the car is locked and can't be opened due to the dead battery?

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    Wish it was that easy. This from Taycan forum: Tools you will need: known good 12 volt power source - with "clamps" flash light possibly some copper wire with both ends exposed vehicle key 15-30 minutes in my experience Goal: get the frunk open so we can "jump" the 12V battery power the...

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    Yes, my car is equipped with comfort access. Is there some way we can contact some knowledgeable engineer at Porsche and get a definitive answer to this?

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    No, the car was not plugged in. I hadn't noticed that in the manual nor can I find it now. Where does the manual say this? How would plugging it in solve the problem?

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    I recently returned from a 2-½ week vacation to find I couldn't get into my Macan 4. The 12-volt battery had discharged during my absence, and so the car couldn't be unlocked. Access to the 12-volt battery is through the hood, but there is no mechanical way to open the hood. The only other way...

    Any way to pause rather than mute audio?

    Easy. If you're listening to audio on CarPlay, you can say "Siri pause" and it will pause the audio. Alternatively, long press the mic button and say "pause".
