    Car turns back on when I get out

    I think it’s quite likely that it will because the car is turning on again in reaction to the key fob proximity. Haven’t tried it

    Car turns back on when I get out

    The proximity unlocking features are optional and can be deactivated in settings if you prefer. Settings > Vehicle Settings > Vehicle locking systems > locking and unlocking the vehicle without using the vehicle key I like that this feature because it tends to prevent walking away from an...

    Route planner getting dumber?

    Since the WSJ0 software update (aka VR28.13) I see initially wrong estimates for short (< 10 miles) and reasonable estimates for longer trips. Short trips show estimates with the same percentage as the start percentage. Until the update, estimates started reasonable and decreased over time. You...

    VR28.13 Software Update

    I've had the update for about a week. It took more than one try to install for me also. I've had no spurious warnings and driver assist features are working fine. The only negative I've noticed is the navigation range estimates are now wrong in a different way. The estimates used to be...

    Car turns back on when I get out

    Incidentally powering off also puts the car in Park (unlike the ICE Macan loaner I had during my WSJ0 update). The car will turn back off if you have comfort access and leave the car, but the technique proposed by @chaz is way more fun!

    Good experience with software upgrade

    My car went in this morning for the update. I saw the notes for the update that confirm the OPs experience. A lot of fixes for "Driver Assistance", E-Sound and High Voltage system spurious warnings. Hopefully the Bluetooth connectivity features will fix my occasional CarPlay crashes. There are...

    Red Circle of Death

    You can enable OTA updates in the MyPorsche app. Supposedly updates to navigation and voice control happen this way. However, Porsche has been very cautious about major software updates due to cars being bricked and needing PCM replacements to fix the problems. My dealer had some instances of...

    Red Circle of Death

    When was your software last updated? My car was remarkably improved by an update in September. (No lock and walk incidents since). I’m scheduled for WSJ0 this week. We will see how that goes…

    Porsche ‘Track Your Dreams’ Availability in Europe?”

    Here is what I wrote on September 1, 2024. I hope you find it helpful. A few tweaks will be necessary: https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/tracking-us-macan-ev-shipments-by-sea-ship-boat-vessel-%F0%9F%9A%A2.17034/

    Porsche ‘Track Your Dreams’ Availability in Europe?”

    In case TYD is not available for you, I have some notes in an earlier post about what I did when TYD wasn't initially available. You may have some experience with tracking your 2024, but if not I will be glad to look up that post.

    New member – Macan GTS order incoming (config feedback welcome)

    Personally, I'm a big fan of the Head Up Display. This is an expensive option, but it is also my number one favorite feature. You spend much more time looking at the inside your car than outside. Bose has been good enough for me, but this really depends on how important music is to you (and...

    Porsche dealer wants piles of money to fit dashcam - yet it's pre-wired?

    I specified the pre-wire, but have been waiting for a 4K product from Porsche before taking the leap. There are better products available out there including the sponsored content. Just can't bring myself to waste the pre-wire spend. Probably will re-evaluate at the end of year 2. I hadn't...

    OTA update - WiFi or over cell connection?

    Went to my dealer to get a low tire pressure warning resolved (it was on my way home anyway). They told me I’m due for another software update in January. The September update fixed most of my annoyances. I haven’t seen any major lock and walk issues since. Only annoyance was the HUD not...

    My Porsche app / Electrify America confusion

    Perhaps start by contacting EA. A mess to be sure and I wish you luck resolving it.

    My Porsche app / Electrify America confusion

    We’re you considered parked in a charging space Or is this an error? I got charged for time when figuring out a charging door jam so they definitely can determine when charging spaces are occupied, plugged in or not.

    Porsche CCS to NACS adapter

    Yep. I ordered mine the same day I got the email which was 5 weeks ago. Also sent an email yesterday to PCNA. Will update this post if I get a different response.

    Cruise control wand vs Steering wheel

    This was my first with a driver assistance stalk. All others, including our Solterra use the steering wheel. It took me several weeks to adjust, but now switching between them is fine. It is much like going between a mouse and touchscreen.

    You cannot get bored with this car!

    I’ve seen a variety of different warnings like this. I would say this happens maybe two times a month. I’ve recently had the update to fix the camera recall and so far no issues, but not enough time to really say for sure. If the issues are persistent however, the dealer should definitely be...

    Accidentally Jamming Powered Charge Port Door and a Fix

    Good to know. I had an instance since where it didn’t jam because the flap was seen. I’m thinking maybe the check isn’t made when you move the car for some reason. Strange…

    Porsche NACS complimentary adapter email

    Confirmed with PCNA that the email is coming for all Macan owners, but has not been sent to everyone yet. Guess I will have to be patient…
