    [anti-FUD] -Porsche Digital Key overview - from Porsche!!

    Revisiting this issue… When the Digital Key option transiently appeared on my My Porsche app it stated that my device was not compatible (iPhone 17 Pro), which is likely due to this new phone not yet added as an option when the digital key software was released. Obviously this will be corrected...

    HEATED STEERING WHEEL - 2025 TURBO

    Well, modern equipment is not yet able to deal with Canada’s winter! 🥶 Maybe in the future and with the help of global warming! Lol

    [anti-FUD] -Porsche Digital Key overview - from Porsche!!

    It’s weird. You would think that the app is programmed to only include this option on the 2026 models, which should be easily identifiable (VIN number?). So why are we able to see it, even if transiently? Test drive? Mistake? Like I said before, cruel tease after I had accepted the idea that it...

    Frunk inside cover needed or not ?

    It should be okay. Water does get inside that area and drains out of the car from underneath.

    Charging Question

    Check your charging history on the My Porsche app. On a couple of occasions the screen at EA showed inaccurate data, but everything was correct in the app. If not, call Porsche support. Don’t bother emailing them as it takes forever to get a reply, which is generally not helpful.

    Can you share your findings?

    Data Logging the 12v Battery

    I have Apex Protect GPS vehicle tracking and management (provided complimentary by the dealership, will not renew it) which I believe monitors the 12v battery charge. It shows 12.6v when idle and 14.6v-14.9v when activating pre-climate or while driving. Have not checked when plugged or...

    Annoyance: auto dimming high beams only start at 40 mph?

    I wasn’t trying to dismiss @Rocket Roger’s abilities. Most of the more seasoned forum members (pardon me if you’re actually a youngster!) know how to do all those things. I can also parallel park in tight spaces and handle “old-school” tasks like changing a tire, driving a stick shift, and doing...

    Data Logging the 12v Battery

    Can you explain your findings for the nontechnical members? Does the HV battery protect the 12v battery when the car is off? And, are these findings before or after the most recent update? Thx

    Sharing Exp- installed BLACKVUE DASHCAM – DR970X-2CH LTE

    Where did you place the battery and how did you handle the wire connection? I was thinking of placing it to the left of the subwoofer under the trunk’s floor.

    Sharing Exp- installed BLACKVUE DASHCAM – DR970X-2CH LTE

    Anyway to confirm that? As far as I know, when the car is off the high voltage battery stops charging the 12v battery.

    You belong to the age of the dinosaurs! Soon to be an extinct species. Maybe a generation or two? Maybe sooner… lol

    [anti-FUD] -Porsche Digital Key overview - from Porsche!!

    Porsche digital key appearing on the My Porsche app? Mistake? Maybe there is hope for the early owners… Update: Sorry for all us hopefuls or more likely hopefools, lol. The key option was likely a mistake as it disappeared from my My Porsche app within an hour! At least I got to see what the...

    OTA update - WiFi or over cell connection?

    OTAs for the infotainment system do occur (map updates, app updates, new apps) usually in the background via cell connection while driving and possibly via WiFi if the car is on. As an example, I have received updates for my Amazon Music app as well as new apps (Home Assistant, DAZN, some games...

    Apple watch Porsche app is frustrating

    Just an update on this issue (Apple Watch showing values in the metric system, while the iPhone and the vehicle are set to the imperial system), which happened again today. I found an easier solution. Open the iPhone’s My Porsche app and click on App Settings. Change the Units to the metric...

    the mobile app has stopped receiving data from my car

    Just an update on something that may be somewhat related to the topic. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that I could not adjust the cabin temperature from remote using the My Porsche app. I could lock and unlock the car and activate the horn or the blinker. Also, the charging data (percentage and...

    Wireless charger

    I have an iPhone 17 Pro with an Apple TechWoven case with MagSafe and have no problem with wireless charging. I don’t even have to reposition the phone. I just drop it in the compartment and it works. It also worked with an Otterbox Symmetry with MagSafe.

    Yeah, that’s like the noise I heard. Although maybe not as fast…

    Knocking sound when charging

    Has anyone noticed a transient rapid knocking sound when changing? It seems to happen when switching to AC charging after DC charging, at the very beginning of the charging process. It only lasts about a minute and it appears to come from inside the charging port. Otherwise, the car seems to...
