My experience with start/stop systems was instrumental in leaving ICE tech permanently. Yes, there are workarounds and some hybrids and PHEVs make it less obnoxious, but pure BEVs have the edge on elegance here.

Both my previous car and our other EV have a comparable turning circle to the Macan with the RWS option specified. So what you’re used to matters hugely in this decision. It certainly has made a difference when parking so I have no regrets with my decision to include it.

Yes. This is an option available under car > Assistance > (gear icon) > Speed Limits

My SA said Feature On Demand is not supported on Macan so I bought Innodrive. I hope that changes as not everyone is going to want to buy all features up front. I would have definitely configured my car differently with the option to spread costs out. Kyle’s review lines up well with my...

No issues with my Macan 4 with Standard 20” wheels and Pirelli Scorpion MS tires. I had a beloved car rebuilt in the past and it was returned with such an issue. It was/would be a deal breaker for me too. Something’s not right but it may be somehow tied to the wheels, tires or an unusual...

A sufficient solar + battery solution is ideal for powering your house and charging your car. There are several caveats here. Such a solution is more effective in summer than winter and also in sunny weather. Overcast and rainy, especially in winter, not so much. Hopefully those who have...

This is standard for US Macans

You can set comfort access to unlock driver door only, entire driver side or all doors. If you prefer the more restrictive lock setting, you can double press the key fob unlock to unlock all doors also. This may only be for 4 zone climate control only. You can use the climate menu to set the...

Fixed that. Thanks for the call out. I think it got renumbered during one of the edits

If you are having Plug & Charge setup issues, please see the following post: Plug & Charge setup On a typical week, charging at home using the Mobile Charger solution will very adequately suffice. However, I bought the Macan to go on the road and Plug & Charge provides streamlined tech for...

I had to turn on Lane Keeping along with ACC to get Innodrive. There is a description here. https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/macan-4-ev-detailed-review-3-days-after-delivery.17153/post-262534 Plug in Charge required the following procedure. 1. Perform a factory reset in the PCM 2...

Glad to help. Porsche Navigation is standard but integration with the Heads Up Display option makes the HUD a compelling value proposition even with it’s hefty price tag. I opted in for the HUD early and stuck to it. Other features were more difficult decisions for me.

Recently, I chose the Porsche navigation app to navigate to a friend’s house instead of using CarPlay. After reading reviews about the augmented reality features maybe AR would demonstrate some advantages over the Apple Maps and CarPlay. Also, it was interesting to see how well CarPlay and...

OK. It does mute, but also pauses the song. I think that’s what you’re looking for essentially. When you press again it seems to pick up where I left off. Mute is what it is called in the manual. It may also be that sources like radio don’t pause, but CarPlay does. Long press is HUD toggle...

(Edited) Good news. Tap the left knurled button on the steering wheel and it does a mute but also pauses. A unmute picks up where it left off. I tried it on my car and it worked great. BTW a long press of the same button toggles HUD on and off

I will share, but please confirm with your SA. I don’t know if these are ”official” 1. Perform a factory reset in the PCM 2. Log back into the PCM and keep the car ON 3. Now log back into the My Porsche app and activate the Plug-and-Charge certificate It is a bit tricky finding the...

Unfortunately none I’m aware of. My steerable Subaru lights do a start sequence. Maybe those with full adaptive (outside the US) see something more. I saw video of a startup sequence For Taycan.

Thanks @Duke95 for the detailed and personal review. Congratulations! The Macan is also my largest car investment by almost 2X. There are still many discoveries including a road trip with plug & charge and a number of promising CarPlay apps. I have no regrets and plan to keep my car well past a...

I had the same Plug and Charge issue, but my SA worked with Porsche and provided a set of steps that resolved the issue for me. Warning, my steps included a factory reset which meant I had to start from scratch with my car, losing every setting in the process. Until I ran through the steps, I...

Being in the business of producing product software I’m 98% sure this is a configuration change only. If you didn’t order LED matrix headlights, you are out of luck, lacking the appropriate hardware. if I had the appropriate diagnostic gadget I could do configuration change myself.. Finally, I...
