    Apple CarPlay connectivity

    Seeing that "MMI_MAIN_UNIT" message in your electric Macan can be annoying, especially when you're just trying to get your tech to cooperate. Essentially, your phone has connected to the **car's internal Wi-Fi hotspot**, but that hotspot doesn't currently have an active internet path to share...

    Software update. What shall I do?

    I’m holding off on the update. My 2025 4S has not had any problems thus far, except for occasional software glitches that go away spontaneously or after locking the car and waiting a couple of minutes. My next scheduled service appointment is next year. I’m either going to wait until then or...

    ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    Thanks for posting Porsche’s bulletin on the charging problem fix. I think I’m still going to hold off on the VR28.11 update (Workshop Campaign WSD0) until a revised version is available. Mostly because there is no guarantee that my car is not going to turn out to be one of the affected ones...

    Retrofit Innodrive

    Definitely possible, although expensive. All you need is the right software and hardware. It’s available at any Porsche dealership. However, note that it’s firmly attached to a different and appropriately optioned Porsche Macan! ;)

    Macan EV battery repair / replacement after accident! (video)

    I agree, I would not mess around with the HV battery, if replacement is recommended by the manufacturer. Fortunately, covered by warranty and insurance. However, I did find the video interesting. The car is definitely related to its VW and Audi cousins, the “genes” were there to prove it. And...

    Backing up with a trailer

    You cannot deactivate the seat sensor. You can try clip‑on tow mirrors (like K‑ Source, TowSmart, or “Snap & Zap”‑style) that clamp over the Macan’s factory side mirrors and extend outward so you can see along the full length of the trailer. They’re removable in seconds and don’t damage your...

    CarPlay not working anymore

    Try forgetting the vehicle in the WiFi settings of your phone, then pair it again. If it doesn’t work, try a hard reset of your iPhone (quickly pressing volume up then volume down and then holding the side button until the screen turns black).

    Voice Pilot AI Update

    I hope it becomes available for the 2024-2025 models, but I doubt it. Regardless, similar features should become available with the next Siri update. Porsche’s voice pilot will use the data from your connect plan. Siri from your phone’s data. Not at issue if both unlimited.

    Software letting the brand down

    Have you done a hard reset of your iPhone (quickly pressing volume up then volume down and then holding the side button until the screen turns black)?

    ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    You are right, DC charging is not as good as AC for the health of the battery. However, the impact is minimal on the overall life of the high voltage battery. My point is that you should definitely request some sort of compensation from Porsche NA given the amount of time that it has taken to...

    ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    You should discuss it with Porsche NA. Maybe they can extend your free DC charging for the same amount of time!

    ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    Per AI (not always correct as you all know): Regarding the Macan Electric (XAB) charging issues after Workshop Campaign WSD0, which upgraded the vehicle to software version VR28.11. ATI #2604 is the internal technical guidance issued to dealers to address Macan EVs that experience AC charging...

    I agree, it would be nice. Not very hopeful though…

    Software update

    As extensively discussed in another thread, the Apple digital key requires both a hardware (NFC reader in the door handle and an NFC service card), comfort access, and a software update. 2026 Owner’s Manual: NFC door handle (DHSP0426NFC) 13.553 – 13.567 MHz ≤ 42 dBμA/m @ 33 ft. (10 m) NFC...

    Macan EV driver display configuration is too rigid

    It’s almost impossible to please everyone. However, doing thorough research and test-driving each vehicle you’re considering can help you decide which one to buy—and which compromises you’re willing to accept. And don’t forget to read the owner’s manual.

    Interesting… Per AI: P0AA600 is a fault code related to the hybrid/EV battery voltage system isolation fault. Here’s a breakdown of what it involves: What it means: P0AA600 is a Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault, logged in the hybrid management control unit. In simple terms, it...
