    Trunk (Rear Hatch) Open Alarm

    When the rear hatch is open there is quite a loud beep if you put the car in reverse. I want the back open when I back my boat trailer onto the boat ramp. Is there any way to mute that alarm?

    Security Code

    So, for my car at least, you DON'T have to go to settings! You just hit your name at the top of the main screen and click the "Changing Access Protection" button to change to no protection and disable the log-in requirement every time you get in the car.

    Macan EV owners get special preference at EA chargers with 85% limit

    I've reached the 30 minute free limit several times when the charger slows down above 80%. I just unplugged (no one was waiting) and plugged back in for another free charging session.

    Security Code

    I think the first 3-4 days the lone repair guy who works on software was out and then they tell me it took an entire day due to numerous failures. They then kept in over a weekend to continue testing after a "resting" period. Then 60-70 functions (they tell me) had to be reprogrammed. I am OK...

    Security Code

    My car just spent a week in the shop getting the VR28.11 software update. The security code has been required every time I get in the car since. Porsche of America sent me instructions on how to avoid that but even their instructions ask me to click on an account tab that doesn't exist.

    Security Code

    Thanks - this gets me a little closer but...when I click on "Add account" I hear a little click (the one that verifies you pushed the button) but nothing happens on the screen. The screen you show in the image above does not appear on my dash.

    Security Code

    Since the last update my EV requires me to enter my 4 digit security code every time I start the car. This wasn't required before. When I search the manual and the app I only see an option for updating/changing the security code. I don't see an option for "Save my security Code - don't ask for...

    New software update

    Thank You - that is a terrific listing of the icons if you have a "warning" message or icon pop up. It doesn't appear to show all of the various icons (and there appear to be quite a few). The one I am looking for doesn't appear on any of the pages you mention. I really appreciate your taking...

    New software update

    I actually searched the manual for quite awhile before posting, thank you. Nothing can be found by searching the terms: icon, dashboard, safety, heart icon, display, instrument cluster, etc. I'm guessing that if you KNOW what the icon means, you can probably find a description of that icon on...

    New software update

    I had a total of 4 different warnings including, "Lane Change Assist", "Turn Assist", "Rear Cross Traffic Alert" and "Component Protection". As well as the little heart icon as well as several others. Does anyone know where there is a listing of the little icons (that we may or may not ever...

    New software update

    Mine was updated 2 weeks ago due to problems with systems that stopped working. It's back in the shop today to correct the same issues. Hopefully they get it fixed this time and you get a new car that doesn't need repeated trips back to the shop.

    Interesting conversation with a Porsche dealership employee about his personal Macan EV…

    I have less than 5000 miles on my EV and it's heading back to the shop for software issues a second time tomorrow. Lots of error messages that say "Service required." The first time repair took 24 hours and I was told the software was updated. a couple of hundred miles later I am seeing the same...

    Backing up with a trailer

    I am pulling a light weight jet ski trailer. When trying to back the empty trailer to the jet ski, the (very low)trailer is not visible thru the back window or the side mirrors. When trying to turn it is also not in range of the camera. In order to navigate the trailer I have to shift my weight...
