Received the notification this morning and installed the update (MY 2026 GTS). First impressions are good with the ability to ask follow up questions.

Just a quick follow up. The instructions sent by Octopus actually just covered the basics of checking that Porsche Connect is active and that Privacy Mode is not engaged. It now appears that Enode (who handle the comms for Octopus) cannot connect to my car. This does appear to be linked to my...

Thanks for the thought. Sadly, my charger has to be in dumb mode as it’s not on the Octopus comparability list, hence I need the car to integrate correctly. Whilst I appreciate that others have mentioned charging the car in dumb mode, integration is needed to perform one smart charge per month...

Octopus replied to be last night saying that the GTS has been added. I have now been able to progress, but have now hit a communication issue.

Yes, I’ll update this thread as soon as Octopus respond.

I would hold fire for a couple of days. As I mentioned above, the GTS has been referred to the Octopus product team to look at adding the model. They normally reply within a couple of days. Setting up a manual charge as mentioned above will not fulfil the IOG T&C's which specify the need for...

Some models of the Macan EV were shown as compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go whilst some were shown as not being compatible. I raised a query with Octopus last month and they amended the initial check shown on the IOG product page to show all Macan EV models as being compatible. However...

That could well be! He’s going to make any pieces for me that are not in the templates file.

My PPF guy contacted me a couple of days ago to advise that templates are now available for the GTS. My car is booked in on Monday.

No, but if you follow the link in Ron’s post, there are some photos

If anybody is looking for a 3D printable jack pad design, I can confirm that this model works well. I printed it using hard 98A TPU with 90% infill for strength. Very pleased with the result.

Car Magazine have posted a video:

Another GTS review (Mexican) which is auto-dubbed to English.

Hi Gary, Sounds like you are in the same situation as myself. I haven't had a quote yet as I wouldn't think the cost will be too different to the track pack that he fitted to my Macan EV 4S in Jan 25. Managed yesterday to get the insurance sorted for the GTS as the model finally started...

Hi Gary, Has your PPF fitter been able to obtain the GTS specific cutting templates? I pick up my car on the 2nd March and planned to take it direct for the PPF to be applied. However, my guy says the two databases he uses both show the Macan EV GTS as planned at the moment.

Thanks Admin for adding the GTS

Often, the reason that the smaller wheels are not compatible with faster the models in a range is due to the latter having larger brakes, hence there is insufficient clearance for the caliper with a smaller wheel. In the UK market, the 4S has 375 x 36mm ventilated discs at the front whereas the...

My concern is that any third party camera system which is hard wired into the car, will give Porsche the opportunity to blame any electrical gremlins on the non-approved accessory. Knowing how pedantic Porsche can be together with the electrical issues that have been experienced by some people...

I like Crayon, but when I saw it on the Macan, I didn’t think it worked as well as on the 718 and 911. Ice grey is a great choice. In the end, I went for jet black. Appreciate that it’s not to everybody’s taste, but I do love a black car!

Hi, I saw the car today for the first time pre-PDI. I’m actually taking delivery on the 2nd March. Initial thoughts are that the build quality is good. I had a late 2024 build Macan 4S previously where the charge port covers were not aligned correctly, but there are no issues with this car.
