I have an iPhone 17 Pro with a TechWoven case (initially) and now with a Spigen Core Armor MagFit case. I can just drop my phone in there and it starts charging right away without ever disconnecting. And my previous phone, iPhone 14 Pro with an Otterbox Commuter case, also charged without...
I just want everyone to be aware of this risk. It is unfortunate. I used to park at a mall, shopping center, grocery store, Home Depot, etc., without worrying about anything except not being to close to a car that could dent mine when opening the door or getting in and out of a parking spot...
While parked at the Cumberland Home Depot in Atlanta thiefs almost stole my radar sensor and front camera. They were able to pry one side of the camera and snap off one side of the radar sensor. I must have come outside just in time to scare them off. The concerning thing is how easy they can be...
I’m not very patient in that respect. I’m an early adopter of technology. I usually download the latest software versions as soon as they are available and also like to try the beta versions. I tend to do the same with cars. I don’t drive as much as you. I have put about 9000 km since February...
Appreciate your advice. I have not. I’m holding off until my first scheduled service in July 2027. The glitches are sporadic and resolve after locking the car and waiting a moment until the system is off. Otherwise, I haven’t had any serious problems and really enjoy driving my car.
I sometimes get an “assistance systems limited” warning and/or no sound (Bose/music, silent blinkers) whenever I use InnoDrive. Resolves after locking the car a waiting a moment until the computer/system turns off. I’m not a system engineer but based on my experience with computers, it makes me...
I had the same problem in April 2025 after an app update. I tried doing a hard reset on the iPhone (vol up, vol down, side button), but it didn’t work. I deleted the My Porsche app and installed it again. Logged out of the app and logged in again. Both unsuccessful. I tried resetting the car’s...
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...
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...
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...
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! ;)
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...
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...
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).
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.
