Mine works reliably from at least 10 meters away

It’s probably a bit hard to tell but the front plastic number plate holders used in Australia are substantially smaller than yours. I took it off a few weeks back as it was loose and it certainly looked like a Porsche genuine part. Unfortunately it’s well and truly stuck back on now so I can’t...

Nice write up Heavywun. As I couldn’t get my normal garage door remote to pair with my Model S, I bought the Tesla Homelink compatible receiver and it worked well. Oddly, I was not able to get it to pair with my Macan. On a whim, I tried pairing my old garage door remote to the Macan assuming...

If you press and hold the right button on the steering wheel (I think) in that screen, you can turn that feature on and off :)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I remember reading on this forum somewhere that normal mode generally only runs the rear motor (more efficient) where sport and sport plus run both

Worked for me too!

Interesting, will have to try this out. On the plus side, it does seem to connect to CarPlay reasonably quickly once I back out of my drive

v4.0.3 here in Australia.

Except what we get in Australia is a cut down version of driver assistance as we can’t option Innodrive. Porsche Australia evidently decided not to make it available here sadly.

Like I said, I could be wrong

I could well be wrong but like many things, I’m not sure that this is actually described in the Owner’s Manual. And yes, I have read it and also tried searching for this particular setting.

There is a way to change units of measurement in vehicle settings somewhere. Unfortunately I can’t remember where the menu is as the menu structure is so convoluted. You can also change 24h time to 12h which is another setting I was keen to change

In the standard features part of the app, it lists ‘Lane Keeping Assist incl. Emergency Stop Function’. No reference there to Innodrive but it does also list ‘Without combinated longitudinal/transverse guidance’ whatever that means?? Maybe that translates to no active lane keeping/tracking?

No there’s a seperate lane departure warning

Again you’ve got to navigate marketing mumbo jumbo but it looks like VW at least offers it in Australia. For eg a Golf R has: “Travel Assist Travel Assist helps you to stay in your lane while maintaining a maximum speed and distance to the vehicle in front.” Interestingly the Audi Q6 e-tron...

To add some direct experience, I have a Tesla Gen 2 wall charger. A couple of months back I hired a Polestar EV and tried to charge it on my charger and it wouldn't charge. At the time, I assumed it was the car as I didn't have time to troubleshoot it. Turns out my new Macan didn't like...

I took delivery of my Turbo on Thursday and can confirm (much to my surprise and disappointment) that active lane keep assist is not on the car so this is indeed an option that Porsche Australia has withheld from our market for some reason :crying: Maybe Porsche Australia doesn't trust the...

You guys got lucky. Mine was built 19 Dec and has been sitting at the port in Germany for the last 7 weeks!! Dealer assures me nothing is wrong with the car and blames the MUA strike at the ports over Dec/Jan for the now 4 to 6 week delay in delivery. Apparently the strike has caused chaos to...

Great write up and interesting observations about the Bose sound systems Yorksjar. Still waiting for my Turbo to arrive which will have Bose sound as standard but my previous car was a Model S (raven long range) and the sound system in that was fantastic - great clarity no matter the volume (to...

Will find out soon if it ticks over to the next stage in the next day or so. Hopefully Leipzig is not part of the strikes wracking VW in Germany at the moment.
