    Charging Not Possible

    Definitely time to involve Porsche, or at least I would.

    Charging Not Possible

    I have seen this error only once. The message center gave additional information regarding pre-climate. I use that feature rarely now because I’ve seen other errors when trying to use it as well. At the risk of telling you something you already know, look for the comment bubble icon in the PCM...

    Delivery day

    For me, it took a month to get accustomed to the two left stalks and using the driver assistance features, but it was worth it! I drive two different EVs fairly regularly and the Macan is the most natural one, It definitely handles exactly as expected. I leave the mild regen on, but this is...

    New app features?

    Definitely looking forward to the SOC complication, but having the same experience with blank values. Was funny how the write up for the new features seemed to be in future tense. Not ready for prime time yet. Should not have been released. Speaking of software, my recall appointment for the...

    Clock is haywire

    The only time I saw this was driving through Indiana. I thought there was a problem until I realized that two cities we drove through in Indiana were actually on different time zones: Central and Eastern. They were less than 1/2 hour apart with us staying in one and sightseeing in the other...

    Seeking Advice on My Porsche Macan 2025 Configuration

    Looking great with a fine color and wheel choice. Ready for charging it appears too. My charger was set up first thing. Enjoy!

    6 months in...and still learning

    Maybe for an extra screen or special function? However, the PCM, center screen and HUD are plenty for me to keep situationally aware. I recently started using “Weather on the Way” which is great when venturing into stormy weather and making in route changes. It is available through the Apple...

    Apple Announces Porsche Support For iPhone Car Keys

    Apple says 13 automotive brands will support car keys. Porsche was one of the newer entries listed in the article. I personally heard this in the keynote, but offer corroboration here https://www.macrumors.com/2025/06/09/more-automakers-to-offer-iphone-car-keys This link highlights the relevant...

    First 7 Days--Enjoying the experience

    I have the same configuration for the hitch. This is unsightly but normal. if you want to actually tow a trailer with a pigtail requirement you have to buy a tow ball and probably a plug adapter. There are other threads on this...

    Out of Charge and No Place To Go

    It is a great idea to travel with a mobile charger. I bought a second for this purpose. The camp site would need to have a NEMA 14-50 outlet. You can verify this in advance with the campground’s website or an appropriate app such as Allstays...

    Apex Protect GPS system - don’t fall for it!

    My hatch did not reliably open and sometimes didn’t reliably close. This is now resolved

    Apex Protect GPS system - don’t fall for it!

    I’ve had a lot of dealerships try to sell me essentially worthless warranties, upholstery protection etc. My Porsche dealership did not try any of that and worked hard to address the hatch issue I did have. This is worth loyalty to me. I would hope there are alternatives in Atlanta for your...

    Experienced Red Circle of Death this morning...

    I’ve seen it twice in my 9 months of ownership and both times did what my service rep called a “lock and walk”. After 5 minutes it was fine. One potential reason was doing a pre climate and ending that moments before I entered the car. Not sure that’s the trigger, but definitely will avoid doing...

    Next Generation CarPlay In the Wild

    If you have the right equipment to plug into the OBD2 port and correct headlight hardware I have to believe there are settings to enable this feature. The old law should no longer be an excuse to prevent us from having adaptive headlights. I prefer a legit solution, but this situation is kind of...

    Next Generation CarPlay In the Wild

    There has been a lot of speculation on whether CarPlay 2.0 (or whatever you want to call it) was dead. Apparently it is not, as evidenced by this review in Top Gear of CarPlay “Ultra” in an Aston Martin...

    New Macan 4 S ordered … and one question

    Agree with others in this post. I have same interior and love the lightness of it. I chose white as the exterior, but would also gladly have gone with your color combination. I chose white for cost and strong preferences of my better half. That was the only aspect of the configuration she cared...

    Gripes 6mo into ownership

    Something I discovered is the Power button puts the car in Park automatically. No chance of the car lurching forward if it is powered down/automatically in Park. Regardless I always verify that P is active.

    Proper tire inflation

    I asked the question of my dealer service and they told me they tend to slightly overfill tires to avoid tire pressure warnings, hence the +3 in my case. However, do what makes you most comfortable and consider the amount of temperature variation you exp to deal with

    Tailgate won’t close completely

    I’ve recently had my car in for this very issue. Multiple cars had the slamming issue. Mine also had an opening issue as well. I’ve had my car back for a week and the issue appears fixed. Ask your dealer service about this issue because you’re not alone. See also this link...

    Key fob in front of car / tailgate won't close

    I’ve had my car back a week and no longer have issues opening or closing the hatch. My issues appear to be fixed. The only weird issue / safety feature is I can only reliably cause the hatch to close by pressing the buttons in tha tailgate. Sometimes from the door, but never from the goodbye...
