  1. Driver’s seat height too low.

    Actually I'm getting one. :cool: The Macan EV is primarily my partner's car, although at this point I drive it just as much as he does. My new car will be a Lucid Gravity in about 6 months. The IP sits above the steering wheel on that one. I should be able to set that one nice and low and...
  2. Driver’s seat height too low.

    Raises hand! I'm 6'1" too and love a high seating position. Easier to slide in/out of the car, and marginally better visibility. I'd like a taller vehicle in general, but that's tough in an EV because they're so aerodynamics-focused for range. So 64" is about as good as it gets. Thus why the...
  3. Can each fob be linked to the 1-2-3 door codes (seat/mirror positions)?

    I'm running into a lot of that too. Sometimes it links one phone, sometimes the other. Sometimes it changes the seats/mirrors, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes one mirror changes and the other doesn't. Another thing that drives me up the wall is the SiriusXM favorites. Sometimes the seek...
  4. Gripes 6mo into ownership

    I think it opens right away. Our Plug&Charge didn't work yet the day after we bought the car and drove it home 1000 miles, so I had to use the app. That sometimes took too me too long to activate and the door would close before I was ready to plug in. I remember just hand-palming it again and...
  5. Gripes 6mo into ownership

    Yeah, it's not the method I'd have chosen. When you couldn't get it open earlier, did you try to open it from the inside? The little car icon in the lower-left corner of the PCM pulls up the open buttons for the liftgate, frunk, and both charge port doors. It would be nice if the car were...
  6. Is your Homelink range short?

  7. Can each fob be linked to the 1-2-3 door codes (seat/mirror positions)?

    I guess the "manual way" would be considered using the 1-2-3 door buttons. Those do seem to work OK, it's just a bit annoying to have to hit those when getting in the car each time (or many times, at least). And that you have to hold the button down until it finishes all the mirror/seat moves...
  8. So, how does it handle hills?

    I never had to be concerned with elevation differences in ICE vehicles, but it plays a huge role in EVs because of shorter vehicle range. I keep an elevation app on my phone to check and see if there's big elevation changes along my route between DCFC stops. A few thousand feet difference can...
  9. Can each fob be linked to the 1-2-3 door codes (seat/mirror positions)?

    It's possible there's a setting and I'm just looking in the wrong place. I think this will just be another in the long list of "just have to keep playing with it to figure out what the car will and won't do" things. We've only had it 11 days and it may take 11 months to sort it all out. We...
  10. Can each fob be linked to the 1-2-3 door codes (seat/mirror positions)?

    Thanks. How do we link a fob to the driver profile? I probably just missed it, but I looked all over the settings within the profile. Also, is there a simple way to copy all the same settings from one profile to another? Or will it just start them up from where they were last left (i.e. from...
  11. Gripes 6mo into ownership

    We bought ours 1000 miles from home while on a road trip (long story). When trying to charge at the hotel that night, I could not get the power charge port doors open (started to panic knowing we had 1000 miles to drive the next day). I thought it took a swipe motion, from just above the...
  12. Gripes 6mo into ownership

    I know we'll get used to it (only had ours 11 days), but yeah, gotta slam these doors. We're constantly having to open/close again to slam it so it shuts.
  13. Can each fob be linked to the 1-2-3 door codes (seat/mirror positions)?

    I've tried looking in the owner's manual online but not having any luck finding it. Also, does a fob get linked to a driver profile? Right now we're only using one driver profile (we have 2 drivers but want the same settings for both, other than using 2 different fobs, phones, and seat...
  14. The difference is more than I anticipated … similar driving style … Macan Turbo EV vs. BMW iX

    Usually when people say Carscanner, it refers to the cell phone app of that name that people use to get vehicle data via an OBD2 device. You can get a cheap (<$20) OB2 device off Amazon and install the free Carscanner phone app to see the internal car data...
  15. From a BMW i4 to a Macan 4 - here's my comparison after 10 days......

    I saw the song title flash once in the HUD for about 2 seconds. Only once, then it immediate went away. Haven't figured out how to get back to that yet but it's down my long list of things to try and figure out.
  16. From a BMW i4 to a Macan 4 - here's my comparison after 10 days......

    "nothing of substance" ? I don't know why I'm bothering to reply to someone like you (you'll be going on ignore soon like I do for all trolls), but I registered for the forum a few days before we decided to buy to check out some of the comments and concerns from helpful people. You know, like...
  17. From a BMW i4 to a Macan 4 - here's my comparison after 10 days......

    Are you kidding me?? The OP posted a long list of detailed real complaints. I added a few more. Just because you may not think they count doesn't mean we and others don't think they do. As for suggesting we didn't test drive the car and check out numerous YouTube reviews... you couldn't be...
  18. Is your Homelink range short?

    Sounds like adding an extension to the antenna wire is easy-peasy.
  19. Is your Homelink range short?

    10 meters? That's just 2 car lengths. Yikes. My driveway alone is 13 meters. I hit the button in my other car at about 100 meters. That's just perfect for me to roll into the garage without having to wait for the door.
  20. From a BMW i4 to a Macan 4 - here's my comparison after 10 days......

    They're bugs when it works one time and not another doing the exact same thing. I know the difference. I hope you do too. Software isn't a "drive feel", it's ease of use. That's the whole point. Some of this is just a different way of getting to things, and that's fine (if not stupidly...
