    ROUTE MONITOR - NAVIGATION

    I was having a similar problem immediately after the WSJ0 update. I would arrive at destinations (supposedly) with more charge than before I left. The problem disappeared after I charged to 100% (when I usually charge to 80%) and received a newer version of the PCM charging app with new...

    The Macan refused to fast charge several times.

    This is great info for all who have the optional outlet in their cars. I have yet to use mine, but now know to unplug anything at charging stops. I don't know what the vintage of your car is but since you joined in 2024, I'm guessing it's either a 2024 or 2025. Have you applied the WSJ0 update?

    What does your Future hold with the Macan

    Bought mine and am keeping it for the foreseeable future. My car had some issues at the start with the hatch and software. These have all been worked out and I've grown quite accustomed to the Macan. I have no intention of ever going back to an ICE vehicle, even though I live in an area of the...

    MyPorsche App: Something went wrong for Departure Settings

    The powered doors were a last minute decision for me I was 50/50 on. Once the driver side jammed on that secondary cover, but I was able to fix the jam from the PCM. For now, I like the powered doors as long as they continue to work…

    MyPorsche App: Something went wrong for Departure Settings

    i found the solution. @hcamp was right, but missing a detail relevant to my situation. I had installed the app on both an iPhone AND iPad. When I deleted it from both devices, it released the iCloud storage and now after installing it on both it’s working on both. Problem solved! Now if we can...

    MyPorsche App: Something went wrong for Departure Settings

    I tried that for a second time and still no luck. I can however report a new feature in the PCM version of the charging app. Now there are clickable buttons shown to the bottom left and right of the battery graphic (if you have powered charge port doors). I am hoping to see the same appear in...

    MyPorsche App: Something went wrong for Departure Settings

    Thanks for all the info. It’s weird it fails so quickly on the phone, but a factory reset on the car fixed it. I think I will go through the same sequence as you, but wait until I hear from Porsche before trying the factory reset.

    MyPorsche App: Something went wrong for Departure Settings

    Since I have downloaded the newer look version of the MyPorsche app, I've noticed a "Something Went Wrong" error whenever I click on the "Planning: Departure >". This has been true of the version downloaded a few weeks ago and one from this morning. I've tried the uninstall/reinstall solution...

    Track & Station Button below the diamond button no longer seems to work.

    From your post it appears that the button does not work for any usage. If this was specific to CarPlay use, it might be a software problem. However, as you describe it, this may be a hardware failure requiring your dealer's maintenance department. I use this feature often on my 2024 and have...

    Voice Pilot AI Update

    Congrats @Andy718S. Look forward to future updates. Gotta say that MY2024 and MY2025 owners should have at least the option to add features like this with a paid model. Yes, it may have some deeper requirements we don't understand on hardware, but other companies do more. We've covered this in...

    screens

    Yeah. I only waited long enough for the screen to go blank, but not until it came back. The screen stayed blank until my "lock and walk" at the dealership. At least they saw the issue before it resolved itself. I had a successful PCM reset after that and am waiting to see if that resolves my...

    screens

    I ran into a similar situation where I started the car and witnessed a blank center screen. It only happened once without my intervention (in over a year and a half of ownership). I also experienced the same situation when I did a PCM reset (holding the volume button) and did not wait long...

    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…
