    PCM using datapass & not my phone 4/5G network

    It is not necessary to disable “Internet access connected devices”. Simply do not connect the iPhone to the Macan wireless network (I suggest you to "forget" these networks on the iPhone). This way you can still use the Macan hotspot if you wish.

    PCM using datapass & not my phone 4/5G network

    The wi-fi must be activated on the phone to use CarPlay wireless, but you don't have to be directly connected to the Macan wi-fi to be able to use it. Try to disconnect the wi-fi to the Macan network, and everything will be fine. Actually, you can also use the hotspot function of the iPhone and...

    PCM using datapass & not my phone 4/5G network

    When you use, i.e., Spotify on your iPhone through Apple CarPlay, your iPhone’s mobile data is used — not the car’s data. Apple CarPlay is just an interface that mirrors your iPhone’s apps onto the car’s display. It doesn’t provide its own data connection unless your car has a built-in SIM...

    New software update

    I had to bring my Macan 4 to the shop because most probably when I have got the car in November they did not fill the gas for the AC, and it was not working. They also changed the tires with the summer set. They told me that they also updated the software. The whole thing just took 2 days… I...

    Anybody having a charging problem

    So your car never got charged or it suddenly stopped charging? On both the charging ports? Did you try more than one charging station?

    Summer time - not updated automatically

    Mine did it automatically, 5 minutes after I started the car this morning. Since it has been in my garage, I think that first it had to lock the GPS signal (from which I think it gets the correct time).

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    I had a problem with the rear left manual flap. Sometime it was just partially opening, few cm, and I had to force the opening, and I was hearing a very bad noise when doing it. I brought the car to the dealer. He discovered that there was a small metallic cylinder into the small gap at the base...

    Porsche commitment in EV market, are we going to be left behind ?

    I am driving my Macan 4 since early November (so one of the 2024 MY). Among the initial (small) problem with the Plug & Charge, easily solved with a rest of the system, the only minor issue I have is that once in a while (I think 3 times so far) the PCM is temporarily showing some errors (I had...

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    The same happened to the door of the charging port of my previous Audi Q8 Plug in. No way to open it. Audi had to replace the door. But I did not put the Q8 on sale after this problem...

    4000km... and a SAFETY fail :-(

    My Macan 4, that I drive since 3 months, showed these safety alerts 3 or 4 times, cleared automatically after few minutes or after switching off and on the car. My previous cars have been an Audi Q8 TFSie Plug In and 2 Range Rover Sports. All of them had the same problem (plus some time a...

    Swap of my Macan 4 to this new 4S build - do or don’t?

    Go for it, even if I don’t like the oak green. I would have changed my order of the 4 (ice grey) for the 4S but it was too late…

    Random daily Macan EV photos - post yours! 🤳

    I took these pictures in January last year in California during a business trip. This was one of the prototypes used for the tests. Inside, the console is hidden, and there is some black tape hiding the Porsche logos and other details. At that time I already saw some of the early videos showing...

    Handy tips when driving the Macan

    Thank you. But I think you have to make a hole in the belt to use it. I would not do it if this is the case.
