I have a '24 Macan 4 ... I didn't receive any message about NACS adaptors or the new Tesla charging functionality. I emailed Porsche USA multiple times, and they told me the would resend it. Nothing arrived. Phoned 1-800-PORSCHE today and they told me they would put me on the 'priority list'...

The recall notice https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCAK-25V220-7737.pdf describes it as affecting: Components: BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE That seems rather pretentious language for a 'fuzzy rear camera image'. I have noticed that my...

This is indeed very annoying, especially when picking somebody up at the airport who needs to get in the trunk and into the car quickly. I think I'll just disable auto-lock since I'd rather get car-jacked than have my wife on the sidewalk while I try to work out how to unlock the stupid car.

Wow! Those are rather conservative when you live in a city. If the 'steering guide lines' on the side view cameras are intended to match the ultrasonic sensor distances in that table then they're not a whole lot of use to me. I want to see where the wheels will *actually* go and then I'll...

I realized that this was partly because I have the mirrors set quite 'wide' during regular driving. (see https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15131074/how-to-adjust-your-mirrors-to-avoid-blind-spots/) When the side mirrors are set like this, they can't tilt down as far. Luckily, I realized...

Yep - mine don't tilt down far enough. There's another thread on this.

I have trouble getting the passenger mirror to tilt down enough to see the curb, so I often end up relying on the parking cameras. If I park with the red line over the curb in the camera image, I usually find I'm about 18" from the curb. The front bumper camera is a little better - when the...

I had PPF done on my 911 at https://ashadedarker.com/ ... on the recommendation of Porsche Marin. They did a great job. I have had Ceramic Pro done at California Detailing https://californiadetailing.com/ on multiple vehicles... they also do good work, but not cheap.

That's a very depressing state of affairs -- and I can only hope that Porsche eventually fix the problem with a software update. Cross-traffic detection is certainly a good thing in theory --- but having to disable supposed safety features or driver aids every time you want to do a basic...

The car was totally clean as far as I could tell. I did think that it might have been parking sensors -- but there was no audible warning, and I'd expect that if the sensors were falsely detecting something? The other thing I suspected was the 'rear cross-traffic/pedestrian' detection. I was...

Same problem here yesterday when trying to park in reverse, slightly uphill. I was about 5 feet from the car behind and the car felt like I'd hit something, then refused to let me reverse for a little while, and suddenly took off faster than expecting. Very disturbing behavior that felt like...

Driving on 101 in the Bay Area, the big yellow triangle was there all the time with the default sensitivity settings. (and I'm not even American so I don't tailgate as badly as everybody else does here!) I had to dial down the warnings a bit.

No - mine works fine. I also think the 'hole' is ugly and not something I expect on a $100K vehicle. I also wish there was a way to disable the rear parking sensors when I have a bike rack on the hitch. :-(
