I think youāre getting double scammed.
Dealer: 3 hrs to change the screen, put 6 hrs (just to be sure) x 250/hr = 1500
Insurance: How much does VW charge per hr? 200-250? right, ok put 40 for Porsche.
Can think of many scammy professions and dealers/insurers are definitely up thereš

The gestures (bonnet/boot) only work when you have the key on you or in the vicinity of the bonnet/boot.
When I wash the car key stays inside the house.
It's impossible to open it by mistake using gestures.
Learned this the easy way / first time I was drying the rear of the car and the boot...
Agreed at first I was puzzled when people started posting the screenshots as the efficiency was higher than mine, then I started calculating the average speeds and was relieved when their average speeds were lower.
For example 18.7 kwh/100km but then when you calculate average speed itās only...
It gets much easier to install after I tell you how much I paid for mine. Converted from Euro to usd it was 340.
And that was from factory so their cost is zero (Silver badge comes standard/foc).
I would have removed their badge if they would deduct it from the price but they don't.
Thieving...
Proud Porsche owners unfortunately, will not voice their opinion and lap everything up once they spot the badge.
Wait until you drive one at highway speeds without screen/lights/indicators or anything and with the fear that everything will lock up and you'll be left stranded in the middle of a...
2 reasons
1) cheapskates
2) to remind you, you are the same as them (cheapskate) for not ordering the tow bar every time you wash your car and see the hole
While my Porsche & VW have the hole the Audi which was not cheaply built has the cover...
You think Porsche is a charity, every new "feature" requires the purchase of a new carš
Be thankful that your obsolete/outdated car still runs & drives:CWL:
Personally I find it sickening but that's how Porsche treats it's customers.
Check the wiring in the back of it, if disconnected, demand full compensation for the amount you paid and 1 yr free warranty extension (that's what the others got in the above NZ thread).
It's a useless feature on the Porsche as it only 150w and drains the 12v battery instead of 3.6kW like...
At this point we need a separate forum. one for first class citizens (MY2026) and one for second class citizens as the cars are completely different despite what appearances suggest.
Porsche took everything that was wrong with the old car, fixed it, but applied the fixes only to the new car...
Mahle is one of the largest German OEM suppliers for VAG/BMW/etc. mainly know for their filters.
SP856002 is the MAHLE part no.
85E819439B is the Audi (VAG) part no.
This filter only fits the PPE platform, so far Q6/A6 etrons & Macan thatās why you couldnāt find 3rd party suppliers yet, PPE...
Mine was 100% problem free for many months, after the update it has happened a few times, I have to exit car, lock, wait for the contractor for the HV battery to open, unlock, and then it works as if nothing has happened.
I blame Porsche for using crappy Android instead of paying for decent OS...

āAudiā part is 35usd.
Audi sells the q6 e-tron in Canada

But why hunt down a 3rd party filter? I stand by my advice I already gave you above (and other members did as well), get the proper tools (so you don't break anything, pull the filter, mark the part no. which is 85E819439B and get it from Audi for half (or whatever Porsche tax is today). You're...
Innodrive is the best option on my '25 Macan and I consider it a must have (above all other options). The '26 version in addition to the '25 version can change lane/overtake on it's own if you indicate (same as travel assist you get on ID.3).
Innodrive on the motorway basically in addition to...
SergeyIndy in the post above circled the tabs, carefully release them (don't snap them off) and cover will come right off, there is nothing to unscrew, looks to be near similar to the Taycan.
Don't worry about snapping the connector, it's just the footwell light, and you can't see it once it's...
I have this tab for my 4S open in my browser which is updated with the bulletins for it and check it time to time:

Plenty of entertaining videos on youtube if you don't use a car wash!
From Tesla manual: Car Wash Mode closes all windows, locks the charge port, and disables windshield wipers, Sentry Mode, walk-away door locking, and parking sensor chimes.
From Porsche manual: Good luckš
Paid 2K euro for Innodrive, imagine same for the UK.
Only thing included with Porsche is the air that comes inside the car, everything else is an option.
