    Manual charging door not opening

    The dealer called, and they ordered replacement charge door latching mechanisms. The parts should arrive middle of this week, with installation likely for Friday. They also had to adjust my rear hatch again, the latch itself shifted since the last adjustment. Crossing my fingers that this solves...

    Electric Sport Sound - equip it or not?

    Hi Folks, my Macan 4 (without sport sound) is in the shop for various issues, and I got a Taycon as a courtesy car. It has the sport sound optioned (no idea if it's like the Macan sound though). But just driving it for about 45 minutes today, I did enjoy it for a bit. I know it is fake but it...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, I managed to get the left door open, and I narrowed down the issue to the lock mechanism. I had to quickly and firmly press-press-press while locking/unlocking, and at one point there was a mechanical clicking sound, and the door opened. Then when I closed the door and locked the...

    Bose Sound Pack - Opinions

    Hi Folks, I have the Bose upgrade and felt it sounded cheap and awful. But then it's like something switched (or an EQ was enabled or something!) after a few weeks and it really did sound much better. After reading this chat, I would recommend you get a demo of the various sound systems. In my...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, I confirmed it's a mechanical issue. The left door stopped opening yesterday all of a sudden. I charged with the right door no problem. Stupid me, I decided to try to get the left door opened just now by pressing it in and locking/unlocking. Now the right door does not open while my...

    Wireless CarPlay not working

    Hi Folks, confirming that changing the Wifi hotspot password to something strong fixed my Carplay issue today! Carplay had been working well until this morning. I tried deleting my phone from Devices in PCM, "forgetting" the Bluetooth connection on my phone, re-pairing etc. Nothing worked and I...

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    Quick update from me too: I got both my charge doors opened. It is definitely a mechanical issue on the left (driver's side) charge port, but likely made worse when outside in cold temperatures. The car has been in my brother's garage (around 10-12 degrees C) since yesterday evening. I asked him...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Quick update: I left the car in my brother's heated garage over night (around 10-12 Celsius in the garage) but the charge doors still do not open. My Porsche dealer will schedule an appointment late next week but I don't think I will have enough charge to make it. Fun times.

    Manual charging door not opening

    Aaand now my right door doesn't open anymore. Perfectly sunny day although it is -12 C. I unplugged the car, tested the door a few times and it was fine. I checked the door, the connector etc. There was no ice or snow, just one small, dry leaf that I removed. After a 1 hour drive, the door does...

    Faint high pitch sound (like a vacuum cleaner or jet engine whine) when accelerating and regen braking (front right)

    Thanks for the response! I forgot to mention that my 4 does not have the sport sound option. I will check in the menus to see if it somehow was added/got activated just in case.

    Faint high pitch sound (like a vacuum cleaner or jet engine whine) when accelerating and regen braking (front right)

    Hi, I just noticed a new sound on my 1 year old Macan 4 that wasn't there before. When accelerating, there is the usual lower frequency hum. But under slightly faster acceleration (not even close to aggressive) I now notice a high pitch, scratchy whine. It is not loud, but more of a faint...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, both my manual charge doors were unable to open since last week (and more for the left side). The temperature is -1 C today, and very sunny. I parked my car with the LEFT side completely facing the sun while going food shopping. I got home about an hour later and the left door now...

    VR28.13 Software Update

    Hi, I can confirm that the braking is in fact smoother. I could tell the difference when the car was regen braking or using the physical brakes before the update. There was more of a looser brake pedal feel at the top when regen was happening. After the update, I really can't tell the...

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    Hi, so the temperature hit -12 today. My left charge port door has not been able to open since I got it back from the dealer (Jan 5) but it was also unable to open for a while before that trip. Now my right charge door is not opening again. So I basically cannot use this car on long distance...

    take the exit to go straight?

    Hi, I can confirm even here in Quebec/Canada, Apple Maps would tell me to take an exit on the left, which is basically staying on the highway since there is no actual exit. Cogs

    Random daily Macan EV photos - post yours! 🤳

    Completely random picture of my Macan in a snowy public parking lot. Those rear tires (295's 21") are freakin' massive.

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    Hi, after 2 days with majority of the temperature being slightly above 0 (2-5 Celsius) the left door is still not opening. It really feels locked. I ensured that the right charge door is closed correctly and flush. There are no warnings in the car that either door is opened. I don't need to...

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it for over 15 minutes but no luck. There is no visible ice anywhere around the door. Pressing and moving the door around feels just like the right charge port (which opens). It is entirely made of cheap plastic on the inside, so it is still likely...

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    So I just got home from work, and the left charge port door is not opening. We are currently at -11 Celsius with light snow. The right door struggled to open so I suspect these manual doors are sensitive to water/ice/snow. My indoor garage is a huge mess so it's not possible for me to store it...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Hi, sorry I only have the notes from the dealer saying that they first looked for any known rear-hatch rattling issues, and that they found the technical directive from Porsche: TI-5587 . They said they followed the procedure in TI-5587, drove the car to hear that their adjustments improved the...
