It used to be that, to get a map into the dash, you had to be using it to navigate, with the Porsche map being the default before navigation was started. You could then stop navigation and that map application would stick around in the center tube. It seems they have some confused software...

If the GTS body and mounting points are the same, it's likely possible to retroactively install the GTS suspension to any existing Macan Electric to get the same upgrade without buying a whole new car. The software update for the different suspension height (and settings?) in Normal and Sport...

Has anyone successfully performed any coding changes for the Macan EV platform with currently available tools without a dealer being involved?

Model: 2025 Macan 4S Wheels: 20” Macan S Wheels Tires: Pirelli Scorpion MS All-Season Usual Mode: Normal, sometimes Sport Regen: Brake pedal regen only Location: Seattle Area Not a lot of driving, but 3.2 isn't bad. Our 12 short trips were mostly actually 2 trips with a pause of less than 2...

I've had this happen before the WSJ0 campaign (not a recall) for the VR28.13 update was applied. It happened at a full service car wash with several people in and out of the car as they cleaned the inside. The car got confused by which state it should be in with the key moving around. It was a...

Nope, just charge from 85 to 100 again and wait a second time. It will eventually understand where 100% should be

I saw a quote by Rory Southerland of Ogilvy and Mathersthat the worst thing you can do is loan someone an EV for a weekend The thinking goes that a day or 2 allows someone to like the car, but 3 days gets to the first charging experience. A loan of week or more gets into familiarity with the...

I’ve found that it takes a LONG time to switch profiles. Combined with the safety system where the seat won’t move to a saved position if you’re not holding the button when you’re sitting in the seat, could it be that you being in the car when it comes time to set the seat position stops it...

Although this sounds made up, I have had a weather sensor replaced behind the windshield. The main symptom was the HUD fading out when facing into the sun. There is a workshop notice for the diagnostic and replacement under warranty

The Mercedes network is part of Chargepoint’s system, so the Porsche app and billing can be used to start and pay for charging. I had a payment reader broken on my last use and this saved me from having to move to a working unit! (Watch out for short CCS cords on the B sides of these units, as...

We have a 2 year lease. This gave us some flexibility in planning our post-retirement future, and also provides a very long term test drive of this new technology. Since our specific car is mostly trouble free other than the battery SOC issues that I can work with inside the 8 year warranty...

There are claims that the 97 interchange at Merritt is getting Western Canadas largest charging hub when they build out the new thing there. Presumably very fast chargers too. News seems to be scarce though, even on the official site

Porsche lied to you about the Waypoint being required. There are a number of Tesla stations in Merritt that are Tesla Only. Plugshare shows only these that are available for non-Tesla https://www.plugshare.com/location/1264761 (there seem to be 2 entries for a total of 24 units here) The other...

After the last Apple update, the directions do indeed work. The map on the central tube still doesn’t for Google Maps ABRP and Waze do display there, but Google Maps simply show text about Car Play displaying the map. Is that just me?

After many months of losing 1% most nights, my problem seems to have stopped. I've not lost a single unexpected percent since May 14 - so 5 nights with no loss (I did lose 1% from a few visits to the car, so several preconditions and power-ups) Now, this resolved itself right after I got a...

Prime parking for today's walk in the woods.

I have the Black/Chalk interior, and it looks like this. This is the first car I've bought without a full black interior, and with a professionally applied interior ceramic coating, it has not been a problem to keep clean at all. Here you can see which parts are black, and the deviated...

I've had this happen - only once so far. The HUD continued to work, so the car was drivable. Here's the photo I sent to my service advisor showing the complete lack of dials. The 'Park' text goes away when you put it in Drive. Note the PCM screen still works. This was not after a DC charge, as...

Oh yes, it is indeed the air compressor for the suspension. It happens at other times too, but charging seems to also trigger a recharge of the air tank if it's needed

Here’s a video I posted of this in a previous thread on this very subject https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/knocking-sound-when-charging.23971/
