Alas that's what I paid to have them installed in mine, even though as you point out - it's pre-wired.
I much prefer the Blackview cameras someone mentioned above for both ease of use and image quality and had one in my previous e-tron, having seen how basic and faffy to access the Audi camera...
I really wish this was the case across manufacturers as dashcams only cover front and rear views, where as I was recently nearly taken out by a speeding police car that flew around a bend with no sirens on, which unfortunately I couldn't evidence from my Porsche brand dashcams.
For the Porsche...
Thankfully by local premium repair shop is the same place the Porsche dealership uses, and my insurance uses, so that bit was easy at least. I’ve had some issues with my Macan over the last year (one of which is what has led to it being in the repair shop now!) so I can’t say as I’m actually...
Mine has gone through my insurance without me knowing just how much it was - I'll ask when I collect it. No courtesy car to add onto the cost thankfully as I've been driving my husband's Taycan/our pick up truck (opposite ends of the car scale lol), but it's still going to be a stupidly...
Well I have some good news that the dealership actually managed to get the parts yesterday, so thankfully not as long as a delay as first thought!
How are you getting on with your repair?
Interesting to read that your insurance doesn't cove your paint protection. Mine has approved the claim...
As an aside to your OP - I’d be interested to hear how you get on with repairs. I caught my passenger side window and bumper at the start of December and it finally went into the repair shop for fairly minor cosmetic repairs but the majority of the bumper accommodated sensors had been knocked...
My relay is really loud, to the point of distraction sometimes as I find it incredibly annoying. More so from the drivers side dash than the glove box though. I have to turn my music up when it rains lol
OMG this is a sore subject for me this month!
Those who have been on this forum for while will probably know my profile name well for being the moaning woman who complains about the sensitivity of the emergency breaking on the Macan. I get collision warnings flash up pretty much every journey -...
Thanks for sharing. I’m currently looking to swap my 1 year old Turbo for the top of the range GLC EV. I’ve had enough of all of the tech issues with my Macan, and will happily sacrifice the speed of acceleration for a car with working gadgets and a comfortable drive.
If Porsche can’t get their...
I’m with the OP on this one. Land Rover once claimed to be doing road tests when my Evoque was in for a fault. What actually happened was one of the engineers took it on a 20 mile trip to take his partner out for a meal one evening, then stored it overnight on a not so secure driveway (not the...
Quite a few of the paint shades change in the light, speaking from experience with Provence which is either a lilac shade in the sun, or a smoky purple/grey on a cloudy day. My husbands Taycan is a random shade of white/silver in differing conditions. It's nice to switch it up on a daily basis lol
I paid for 3 years up front as it worked out cheaper than year on year a beat any inflationary hikes. It definitely wasn’t £750 (going off three years at £250 a year). It was all sorted directly with Vodafone - Porsche had nothing to do with the au script ion side of things.
They are definitely a worthwhile investment. I’m urban and ordered mine with the car, so also had a few months wait after collecting the car until Porsche restocked. They are well worth it in winter, although mine collect up all season grit and wet weather debris. Far easier to keep clean, and...
I imagine so. There isn’t a separate reservoir for it, and many have reported that when their cars have been in or service/repair it’s resulted in no water coming through, which eventually does after about 10 presses, which would suggest it’s coming from the front of the vehicle and needs...
This is just a little tip/reminder for those who might not have found this less obvious feature, given that the weather is the UK is so wet and dreary this season.
If/when your rear view camera gets covered in mud and gunk, there’s a button that pops up when you put the car into reverse that...
Yeah - I think that’s the difference. I’ve realised that I prefer technology and comfort, to speed and being able to throw it around corners but at the risk of being throw into a hedge on the straight and slow 🤣 . Don’t get me wrong - I have great fun pulling away at the odd junction and blowing...
I'm basing my opinion of MB's electric offering on my close friends EQE, his daughters EQA, and my best friend's husband's EQA. They may not be any better than Porsche, but they can't be much worse - in my current opinion, and I'll have paid considerably less money to find out.
A coupe isn't...
