I receive my Macan 4 early December 2024. Great car that I like to drive.
Mid-December, while car was sitting in the carport, the alarm started sounding with alarm message related to front trunk. The dealer verified all the alarm codes without finding any issue.
Six days ago, the same thing happen again … alarm went On. My Macan 4 is still at the dealer. Hopefully they will find something. I don’t think I am the first one with this issue. Any comments ??

I thought @shawn maybe had the same problem but don’t remember the outcome. I could be wrong. Maybe it only happens to Canadians :)

Correct I had an alarm go off for the rear trunk. The issue was that the dealership did not install a module during the initial set up and they had a newer version and installed it. I would take your car to Service and have them make sure that the alarm system software is the latest version. I think that the software from the factory at least in my case was not the latest. It has never happened since.
