Has anyone tried the Active Parking Support to parallel park?

If so, how well does it work?

I've used it on my wife's Macan T (not EV but same system I assume). Works perfectly well and leaves appropriate space between wheel rim and kerb.

Trick is to ensure the space is big enough and by the time you've done that you could well have parked the car yourself!

I have used it on my Macan ev 4 times, 2 of which it parked great the other 2 times was an accident waiting to happen. I am also interested in the experiences that other owners have had.

I’ve had it work several times. The pattern I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t like dark parking lots. For example, our CostCo has a very dark garage and I can never get it to acknowledge any space, ever. However, our Electrify America station has 20 back-in spaces. It’s very well lit. The parking assistant finds spaces every time and backs in fast and accurately.

Parallel parking has been more problematic. It seems to like driveways as opposed to real spots. When it finds a spot, it parks better than I can. Fast and accurate. I just don’t know how to get it to detect very obvious spots. If anyone has hints, I’m all ears.

The most unusual effort was in a parking garage with very tight spaces. It didn’t recognize anything so I started to back in on my own. Then, 1/3 of the way through the maneuver, the car asked if it could takeover as it must have thought my parking skills were questionable. I let it and it did a great job. I’ve never been able to replicate this. Sigh.

Still love my car, I just want to understand what it likes.
