  1. English language but German text on PCM?

    It took a week or so, but this morning I fired it up, and hey presto, the welcome and camera screens were in English once again!
  2. English language but German text on PCM?

    Something similar has happened to me: The welcome screen, camera screens and park assist are all in German, whereas everything else seems to be in English. I've checked system settings, which confirms the language as English. I am unable to try the solution that worked for @Sparky, as when I...
  3. Squeaky steering wheel

    Same thing. Summer came, and the squeak all but disappeared. It's still there, but so much quieter that it's no longer really annoying.
  4. Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    Sorry you're experiencing problems. Mine seems OK. I've found Octopus' customer service to be excellent.
  5. Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    UK again: My Macan 4’s speed limit recognition was really impressive – over 95% I’d say – but since my car’s recent ā€˜campaign’ software update, it’s got noticeably worse. There are stretches of toads along which I regularly travel, and I was impressed at the accuracy of the speed limit...
  6. Windscreen replacement – Porsche Centre more than twice the price 'like-for-like'!

    The car is owned by my employer, and I may take-up the option of purchasing it in the future once the investment has been amortized. I don’t wish to cause any hassle, distress or loss for the gardener, as it was certainly not intentional. He does however have liability insurance.
  7. Windscreen replacement – Porsche Centre more than twice the price 'like-for-like'!

    So, my gardener’s apprentice was weed whacking / strimming my pebbled drive, and a heavy stone flew into a sweet spot on my windscreen, under the wiper and above the hood / boot – and caused a 36-inch curved crack in my windscreen! The windscreen is heated, and the car has augmented reality...
  8. Door closing issue

    Same here. I’ve had the car for over 3 months, and no improvement. I’m not sure that it’s an air pressure issue, as the driver’s door opens with Same here. I’ve had the car for over 3 months now, and no improvement. I’m not sure that it’s an air pressure issue, as the other three doors close as...
  9. Mobile charger fitted with a UK domestic 3-pin plug

    That's great. Many thanks.
  10. Mobile charger fitted with a UK domestic 3-pin plug

    Many thanks for your advice. I do have a Hypervolt wall charger at home, so the mobile one would indeed be for emergencies.
  11. Mobile charger fitted with a UK domestic 3-pin plug

    I'm looking to purchase a mobile charger for my Macan 4 just in case my wall charger ever plays up. The Porsche Mobile Charger looks decent, and claims 'up to 7.2 kWh', but costs £1,131. I've seen Macan 2.3 kWh chargers fitted with domestic 3-pin plugs (and 5 m cable) from a specialist...
  12. Insulated glass or rear wiper? (First post by a Porsche newbie.)

    In the end I went for the rear wiper, and don't regret my decision. My car has 20" wheels and adaptive air suspension, and is pretty quiet inside. (I don't drive it much in noisy cities.) It's much, much (much) quieter than the Tesla Model Y Long Range that I drove previously. I've needed to...
  13. Squeaky steering wheel

    Hi, In fact I do not have this option. (I'm having the issue checked out next month, and will report back.)
  14. Squeaky steering wheel

    I've had my lovely Macan 4 for just under a month, and over the past week it's developed an annoying, noticeable squeak when I manoeuvre at low speeds (such as when driving around a car park, doing a 3-point turn on my drive, or when doing tight turns into or out of a junction). It doesn't need...
  15. Cruise control issue: "Cruise Control not available drivers seatbelt undone"

    This happened to me too driving away from the dealer.
  16. Macan 4 – Quick review from 1st time Porsche owner (former Model Y owner)

    I've had my Macan 4 for just over two weeks. What I regret: In retrospect, I should have had the sideblades painted in the exterior colour (Dolomite Silver). I opted for this colour as in my experience, silver shows the dirt less than most others. However, the sideblades, being black, can start...
  17. Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    I had similar issues with my Macan 4 and the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, but it seems to be fine now. However, crucially, I had to select my charger (a Hypervolt 3 Pro) as the 'device' on the Octopus app. and not the vehicle itself. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but...
  18. Do UK Porsche Centres ever offer a choice of registration number?

    My car has now 'left the port of shipment'. I asked my (UK) Porsche Centre if they get issued with batch registration numbers prior to registering vehicles, and if so, if I could have the opportunity of choosing my car’s registration number from what they had available? The reply was that my...
  19. Dealer error with configuration

    Update: The dealer acknowledged that there had been an 'error in the system' and offered a discount if I agreed to accept the car without the passenger display (rather than re-order one with and wait until May for delivery. I checked with another dealer, and they confirmed that this would indeed...
