I’m definitely glad I optioned the HUD, as stated more than once in the forum. It is one of the most constantly useful and noticeable feature while driving. The HUD already reprioritizes some areas, such as when surround view is active. Then it shows obstacles around the car in place of my...

@Redtiger: Is any advantage taken of a pre-wire or does this dash cam require its own wiring?

@Redtiger: Is any advantage taken from a pre-wire or does this dash cam require its own wiring?

Thanks! My Macan routinely improves my day as well. But the very same guy that was slamming EVs on the campaign trail just bought two Teslas. But wait, maybe the motivation was a bit different 😏

Either you are being sarcastic or your account has been hacked. I’m not really a good of sarcasm. All your other posts have been considerably more positive and helpful.

Comparing to the Taycan is an interesting choice. The Taycan was Porsche’s only EV until the Macan. Taycan appeals to a slightly different audience. The market for the Taycan is also considerably more saturated than for the Macan and sticker is typically higher for a similar feature set. This...

I did not spec it but did try it on the loaner Macan I was given. If you might miss the accelerator feedback that an ICE gives you, get it. I preferred to use the money for other options and I’m still happy with the decision. The car makes a sound regardless that is kind of like a growl.

I was able to determine what ship my car was loaded on and track it that way. There are a number of ways to do this based which RORO ship left the port of Emden on the date your car left that port. Since TYD was not available for the Macan last year, I used the MarineTraffic app and determined...

@bayfarmbz: Luckily, haven’t had these issues so far, but the dealer did make several changes to my car when I went in for a different issue (a sticky hatch). One was to reset the TPMS and another to update the software. I was told this was to make the vehicle’s systems work better together...

I was vaguely aware of Launch Control being available in Sport Mode, but haven’t tried it Thanks for clarifying about PASM. Air Suspension related features are standard on US cars so it required no thought on my part.

Air Suspension is fantastic. I don’t think you can lower and raise the car to balance for off-roading or maximum aerodynamic efficiency without it. Also I barely notice such things as road plates and potholes. @marcodf81: are you getting sports chrono for sports plus, do you like the chrono, or...

There are a few potential factors in play here. I have a Solar Edge inverter and it will power everything in my house including the charger given the right mix of available solar power, battery power and settings. It also has a setting that will charge a car only with whatever is leftover after...

I think there is some confusion between preheating the cabin and preconditioning the battery temperature here.. They appear to be different goals. I always display the battery temperature in the instrument cluster (right tube) which is not there by default. So seeing the difference is a bit...

Thunk for all of my doors and frunk. Opening the hatch, but not closing it is problematic for me. It seems there’s a recall on the motorized part of the hatch mechanism. The part is on back order with an ETA of about 2 weeks. There’s a workaround when it sticks in the interim..

@Great_Cookie: Thanks for the thorough review! Very helpful. I have the prewire, but have held off hoping Porsche will go 4K. The usual test is whether you can get a number off the license plate at a sufficient distance and behavior in low lighting conditions. I can’t read any plates in your...

You're right. #*@^ Google AI. I finally figured out that you can change it by clicking on the garage icon and then "More Details". Click the pencil icon to the right of the name and enter up to 24 characters. For some weird reason, it blanked a few times while I was changing the name, but it's...

Aquila Alba Thanks for the challenge @SylverFoxx! Looks like you can’t change the name once it’s active in Porsche Connect Services unless you get help. (See correction below) I’ve picked “Aquila Alba” because it has special significance. It is better than “White Eagle” which is the non...

Unless your electricity is generated with coal or natural gas, there is less pollution generated by running your EV even greenhouse gases aside. Charging at night in our area uses cleaner sources so we can choose. Like the OP I charge mostly with solar other than in Nov-Feb and this community is...

Agree with the majority of posters. I have both and wouldn’t be without either. It took me a while to decide on RWS, but would give a slight edge to the utility of RWS for tight parking situations. However the HUD gives you a lot more situational awareness than you have otherwise. I value it...

Can you confirm that the charging app in the car itself is working properly? It is strange that everything else updates. Are you also sure that the car and app are using the exact same Porsche ID? also, is the car maybe in a cellular dead spot? In the car you need wi-fi to get wireless CarPlay...
