    Trunk Emergency release error

    Hi Gary Sorry to hear you’re having troubles. So far I have not gotten any more errors but still a little Reluctant to claim I see nothing but blue skies ahead. I think that if the issues are dealer related and lack of knowledge on how to configure, then that is an easier problem to solve...

    Trying to decide between '25 Macan EV Turbo and '25 AMG EQE SUV

    I agree . I have taken test drives of all Mercedes EVs. I always go with excited anticipation and come out disappointed, there’s just something about the drive. They just feel almost boat like in some cases but all of them at least feel to big (not agile) to me, no matter sedan or SUV. I...

    Simply Electric - drives me crazy

    The reviewer promised a lot more than delivered. He is not as well prepared as others and skipped around on random impressions. Seems like he hates plastic but also worries about non plastic materials so he seems like a conflicted person ?. On that note I got the interior with 18 way seats and...

    For those of you with Rear Wheel steering... happy with it?

    I originally opted out but included it before freeze date. I do notice it just driving around tight curves. Feels like the car is going where you want is more rapidly or effortlessly. It comes with power steering plus and I do notice it in a parking lot. Also I noticed in on the highway...

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Yeah moisture or fog build up can throw the error. It evaporates and reset should not be necessary but can speed up getting it back to normal

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Assistance systems usually limit themselves if water or dirt is on a camera or visibility is bad.

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Main thing is you wanna rule out the possibility of an electrical fire by some component. The only thing I can think of from the same dealer is if they pressure washed where they should not have and pushed water into the wrong place.

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    At speed you have wind and increase power so if is not wind then some component is burning off some lubricant (like a fan motor coil). Otherwise you have an electrical component burning out for some reason. I would have a chat with your service agent. If they said it is normal then they should...

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Hum you say random? If you try recirculating and less or no smoke I would wonder if you’re driving by any place that people are operating wood stoves or other atmosphere burning. May be obvious but need to rule that out if it is your car or something outside

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Set to recirculate only and see if changes? Just to eliminate exterior source. Any car fluid on the ground when you park it? If it only happens at speed then it may be water being forced into a fan compartment or into a place where it should not be, turn all fans off to eliminate climate...

    Textured side cladding

    If I got the gloss black, I would definitely put PPF on it

    Trunk Emergency release error

    Ok so here is the scoop. The trunk release error is part of the anti theft code. The service rep said that during the download and configuration of my car they did not complete the anti theft coding they need to do hence the error. This was a service oversight and not an issue with the...

    Textured side cladding

    This is what I got with my Macan 4. I don't mind what I did get but always curious to see if the other options (gloss or carbon) would look better

    Problem with SIRI

    Sometimes it seems like Siri does not say her "uhum" wake up call but it still takes the command. I assumed it is just some lag because the prompt is such a short verbal notification it skips over it. So in my case it seems like nothing is happening but it actually does happen. I have not...

    Porsche may be in (big?) trouble...What you think?

    Yes...I was going to say before I saw you beat me to it. The Viking King is usually way off on everything. Not sure if that is his bad luck or inept research skills or maybe he is a click bait fisherman. Probably some combination of all. I think a more mainstream financial source would be better...
