  1. Bose upgrade - no more boombox

    The sub is super easy once you have the wiring harness - no resistor needed just a couple short pieces of speaker wire, once you cut two little locator taps on the box you just need to rotate the new woofer to align with the factory.screw locations. I only managed to get 4 holes to align but...
  2. Bose upgrade - no more boombox

    Every Porsche forum seems to have number of threads about people being disappointed with the Bose sound system upgrade while not wanting to fork over another 4k for the Bermester. Fortunately these communities have found a way to close the gap or exceed what the factory offers. Since the...
  3. Bose sound stopped working

    Happened to us for the 2nd time just before a 2 hr road trip - tried PCM reset, lock / unlock waiting for just a few min in between. Stopped at a store for about 15 min near our destination - unlocked and it was fine. I think most EVs are basically where windows laptops were in the 90’s. As...
  4. New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    Are you talking about the built-in google maps / Porsche UI or Google Maps via Carplay - with 3d images instead of a flat map.
  5. New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    You can uncross your fingers for now — iOS 26.4.1 didn’t fix it
  6. New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    Just to be clear, are you saying google maps on Android now gets telemetry from the car? I wonder if the API is not available for IoS. On my 2020 BMW, until the latest GM update it could not provide turn by turn on the instrument cluster - but AM always could. GM via Airplay on the Macan just...
  7. 2026 Software Update via Dealer - What does it do exactly?

    how do you check which version of software you have - couldn’t find it in the PCM
  8. Burmester System Review (Macan Turbo EV)

    Our car has the Bose system and it’s a bit underwhelming. I’ve been upgrading car audio systems since the days of the cassette. I can imagine some of the upper / mid issues could be addressed with some driver upgrades. It seems like neither the Bose or Burmester “sub woofers” have very deep...
  9. Bose Sound Pack - Opinions

    With other Porsche models people have had good luck upgrading the drivers to Burmester, Morel, Audio Frog etc. I wonder if the same drivers are used in the Macan EV as other Porsches? I’ve seen upgrades for the petrol Macan but it’s not clear how similar the audio systems are.
  10. Self-parking curb rash

    Glad to hear it works well in tight european spots. To be fair I don’t street park all that often - when I do I look for a spot that I think I can get into and the cars in front / back of me can get out of. If I need to park a distance away the walk is good for me. We also have a Kia Niro Ev...
  11. Self-parking curb rash

    you’re welcome - I buy a Porsche to drive it – not to be driven by it or in this case parked by it. I don’t even let 1/2 my cars shift their own gears :). To be fair I do like the ACC and lane centering when on the highway – even works well on twisty mountain roads - but what’s the point of...
  12. A complete tour of the Cayenne EV battery factory

    It would be interesting to know how much of the skateboard is shared with the Macan - Porsche is all about iterating on what works vs clean sheet
  13. Self-parking curb rash

    the original issue was that the self parking put us too tight to the curb - It looked like it was touching from the overhead view but I assumed it was not as close as it looked and the car knew what is was doing. The manual warns that self parking can damage your wheel - check!
  14. Self-parking curb rash

    bingo - yes we do have rear wheel steering - I bet when my wife turned the wheel to the left lock the rear wheels turned into the curb. Would the self un-park be able to disable the rear wheel steering to prevent this or even aware that this particular car has that option?
  15. 2026 Software Update via Dealer - What does it do exactly?

    I updated the iphone app and at startup it highlights new financial services features and the ability to export trips. The only thing I’ve noticed in the UI is that it shows the time it last checked the car’s status - before it just stated “up to date”. I’ve never found any way to check the...
  16. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System same as other Porsches?

    Did you ever give the Audi part a try? The Porsche sensor is marked up 10x
  17. Electric Sport Sound - equip it or not?

    We bought a CPO car with it as an option. I love the sound of an ICE engine and the AVAS is much better than our Kia but I see no reason to add fake sound to an EV. On the highway, it sounded like a tire was going out of round or cupped. If you enjoy video games perhaps you’d like it.
  18. Custom Cubby Organizer (3D Print)

    can someone recommend a US based site to get this printed?
