  1. 2026 Info request - Drive Assist

    Innodrive is the best option on my '25 Macan and I consider it a must have (above all other options). The '26 version in addition to the '25 version can change lane/overtake on it's own if you indicate (same as travel assist you get on ID.3). Innodrive on the motorway basically in addition to...
  2. DIY Cabin filter and windshield wiper blades replacement

    SergeyIndy in the post above circled the tabs, carefully release them (don't snap them off) and cover will come right off, there is nothing to unscrew, looks to be near similar to the Taycan. Don't worry about snapping the connector, it's just the footwell light, and you can't see it once it's...
  3. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    I have this tab for my 4S open in my browser which is updated with the bulletins for it and check it time to time: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2025/PORSCHE/MACAN%2525204S%252520ELECTRIC Scroll to the bottom where it says "Manufacturer Communications"
  4. Car wash precautions

    Plenty of entertaining videos on youtube if you don't use a car wash! From Tesla manual: Car Wash Mode closes all windows, locks the charge port, and disables windshield wipers, Sentry Mode, walk-away door locking, and parking sensor chimes. From Porsche manual: Good luck😁
  5. Retrofit Innodrive

    Paid 2K euro for Innodrive, imagine same for the UK. Only thing included with Porsche is the air that comes inside the car, everything else is an option.
  6. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    Posted the above back in February, took Porsche more than a day (actually several months) but they finally woke up and started doing it, Macan can home charge (proud achievement / laughs in any other EV). Anyway enough blabbing, download the attached bulletin if you want to read it from the...
  7. Retrofit Innodrive

    Certainly possible by selling and upgrading to the correct spec😁 The only one that can do it is Porsche but they are only interested in selling you another CPO or brand new model. If you had to do this (kidnap the right people/family members for the right info, gut the car to install the parts...
  8. Macan EV battery repair / replacement after accident! (video)

    It was crashed and repaired, they know that (bodywork/pyrofuse), you can also see crash damage on the battery/connectors with your own eyes (if you've watched the video). It's also been on a forklift so most likely insurance paid up and it was auctioned off. However if I was repairing it (I'm...
  9. Ambient lighting custom colors?

    You can on the new software with the colour wheel. Porsche: Kindly trade in your obsolete Macan and we’ll happily provide you with a new one with the colour wheel: https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/my26-ambient-lighting-additional-color-options-color-wheel.25028/ Even my ID3 which is...
  10. Voice Pilot AI Update

    Standard Porsche practice, sell you an obsolete car and constantly remind you you need to buy the next and the next, works on many people including yourself (apologies if you haven't already upgraded to the MY26😁) Cue MY26 owners receiving updates for hands free driving (available from MY27:CWL:)
  11. Painting side blades, front diffusor, side skirt, wheels arces like on turbo?

    That's a 4S with Off-road package with what appear to be lambo style? custom rims and the orange bits wrapped in well orange. Missed opportunity not to do orange viper stripes front to back😁 No GTS bits.
  12. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    No issues in Europe, we do all our testing in the US:CWL:
  13. Is Dolomite Silver the best color for masking dirt and dust?

    I would say silver is definitely the best colour out there.* Would rate white as the 2nd best and then light colours. Dark colours are the worst with black being the worst, non metallic black takes the crown as worst possible. For the interior it is the opposite, black is best, then dark...
  14. Race-Tex vs Leather on Macan EV GTS (Daily Driver) – What would you choose?

    The only thing worse than piano/gloss black or black paint is race-tex. Hate materials which like to wear if you look at them. I find it acceptable only in two places, the pillars and headliner where touching the material will be limited to 0%. My preference is for fake leather but since Macan...
  15. Finding the vehicle software version

    There are only 2 versions of Macan software (old & new)😁 Depending on RHD/LHD check top right or top left corner of screen: 4G -> old 5G -> new Blame Porsche not the messenger:CWL:
  16. Warning symbols on dash for first 5-10mins

    That's clearly an MY2026, expected better from you :CWL: To the OP welcome to PSE (Porsche Software Experience);)
  17. Are model year 2026 Macan EVs problem-free?

    It's not a swiping motion, it's a kick motion under the sensor, works 100% if you read the manual (same for the frunk, once you read the manual it works 100% otherwise your chances are slim to none
  18. Can you trickle charge the 12V battery of a 2025 Macan EV if it is not going to be used for several weeks?

    Yes same as all Macan EVs and as said it works up to a point until it doesn’t, may be 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc. Lots & lots of dead EVs of all brands suffered the same fate, if you don’t have time to muck about just use the trickle charger. Charge in HV battery is irrelevant you can have...
  19. Can you trickle charge the 12V battery of a 2025 Macan EV if it is not going to be used for several weeks?

    Still AGM, I have RWS. If you don't trickle charge the 12v I can guarantee you will at some point return to a dead Macan 😁
