I’m not an expert on this, but AI search states the following: Apple Car Key uses both UWB (Ultra-Wideband) and NFC (Near Field Communication) technologies, though they serve different purposes. UWB is used for accurate distance and proximity sensing, while NFC is used for the actual data...

I use it for the Tesla L2 home charger. I have not bought the adapter for the Tesla supercharger for a couple of reasons. First, because Porsche has not yet been approved to use it. Hopefully sometime later this year or early next year. Second, because I still have free DC charging at Electrify...

Yes, the car already comes with a sealer and tire inflator. However, I bought the Fantikk EV tire inflator as it is battery powered and does not require plugging it to the vehicle for it to work. I keep it on the little space to the left of the subwoofer, along with the Tesla to Porsche L2...

What are the benefits of it?

I would also be worried about damaging the suspension which would be an expensive repair. Hopefully not since the worse damage occurred on the rear tire. Also, make sure the car is not pulling to one side or vibrating with speed. If so, it may need wheels alignment. I suspect the balancing is...

Beautiful! Thank you @Jonas Sickler!!

Hmmm, wireless CarPlay on my Macan 4S works all the time. By the time I get into the car and sit, the connection is already established. I have had no issues with it. Sometimes a factory reset fixes a lot of stubborn software problems. You should try it. I am glad the adapter is working for you...

That happened to me only once in the four months I’ve had the car. Not normal. If it continues to happen I would take the car back to the dealer.

I leased my car for 39 months, 10k mi/yr in order to capture the 7.5k incentive. And I paid off the lease after 3 months without penalty. I saved about 4k compared to buying outright. Another reason to wait 3 months in GA is the ad valoren tax. If you pay off your lease before 3 months you pay...

You must be bored @daveo4EV 😂

Not a Porsche system. Recommended by my dealership in Atlanta. Again, it’s one of those unnecessary options which I always decline. I got it “for free” since they offered to cover the cost. However, I’m posting it here in case someone else is tempted to get it.

When I bought my Macan, I was offered this optional GPS monitoring system by Porsche. I declined, but the dealer offered to cover it. The subscription costs about $1500 for 3 years. I strongly advise against it. Not only it is somewhat redundant, but it is a crappy device. It not only fails to...

I think the Macan has standard matrix headlights. The new Cayenne comes with HD matrix headlights.

What material are you using?

Could you find out? Sorry, that’s too much to ask. Maybe if you can provide the information so I can call them and ask? Thx
