    Sharing Exp- installed BLACKVUE DASHCAM – DR970X-2CH LTE

    Where did you place the battery and how did you handle the wire connection? I was thinking of placing it to the left of the subwoofer under the trunk’s floor.

    Sharing Exp- installed BLACKVUE DASHCAM – DR970X-2CH LTE

    Anyway to confirm that? As far as I know, when the car is off the high voltage battery stops charging the 12v battery.

    Annoyance: auto dimming high beams only start at 40 mph?

    You belong to the age of the dinosaurs! Soon to be an extinct species. Maybe a generation or two? Maybe sooner… lol

    [anti-FUD] -Porsche Digital Key overview - from Porsche!!

    Porsche digital key appearing on the My Porsche app? Mistake? Maybe there is hope for the early owners… Update: Sorry for all us hopefuls or more likely hopefools, lol. The key option was likely a mistake as it disappeared from my My Porsche app within an hour! At least I got to see what the...

    OTA update - WiFi or over cell connection?

    OTAs for the infotainment system do occur (map updates, app updates, new apps) usually in the background via cell connection while driving and possibly via WiFi if the car is on. As an example, I have received updates for my Amazon Music app as well as new apps (Home Assistant, DAZN, some games...

    Apple watch Porsche app is frustrating

    Just an update on this issue (Apple Watch showing values in the metric system, while the iPhone and the vehicle are set to the imperial system), which happened again today. I found an easier solution. Open the iPhone’s My Porsche app and click on App Settings. Change the Units to the metric...

    the mobile app has stopped receiving data from my car

    Just an update on something that may be somewhat related to the topic. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that I could not adjust the cabin temperature from remote using the My Porsche app. I could lock and unlock the car and activate the horn or the blinker. Also, the charging data (percentage and...

    Wireless charger

    I have an iPhone 17 Pro with an Apple TechWoven case with MagSafe and have no problem with wireless charging. I don’t even have to reposition the phone. I just drop it in the compartment and it works. It also worked with an Otterbox Symmetry with MagSafe.

    Knocking sound when charging

    Yeah, that’s like the noise I heard. Although maybe not as fast…

    Knocking sound when charging

    Has anyone noticed a transient rapid knocking sound when changing? It seems to happen when switching to AC charging after DC charging, at the very beginning of the charging process. It only lasts about a minute and it appears to come from inside the charging port. Otherwise, the car seems to...

    More comfort, smarter assistance and enhanced entertainment for the Porsche Macan

    It was there before. It shows on my 2025 Macan 4S and I have not had my car updated to VR28.13. I believe it has something to do with either comfort entry or with recognizing the physical key when you enter the vehicle. It is not related to Apple Car Key (the new option made available for the...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    What exactly was the problem with the luggage cover? I cannot detect any problematic issue with mine. That seatbelt fix looks ugly, specially with colored seatbelts. I think I will decline it. My passenger seatbelt doesn’t rattle as long as the clip is raised.

    My Porsche app: New ‘Online Software Update’ / OTA Function?

    But he has owned and owns other Porsche’s! The My Porsche app is a little different depending on the car you own based on the functions available in that car!

    My Porsche app: New ‘Online Software Update’ / OTA Function?

    Maybe because you also have other Porsche’s listed in your My Porsche app. I suspect it was already a function available for the Taycan, whether useful or not? I think it’s something new for the Macan EV owners (first Porsche for me). But, I suspect it won’t make much of a difference!

    My Porsche app: New ‘Online Software Update’ / OTA Function?

    Yeah, I wouldn’t get too excited. That feature was already active in the car’s PCM. As a result I’ve gotten very infrequent updates to a couple of apps, Amazon Music and another one, just can’t remember which. It also has made available a couple of new apps, Home Management, DAZN, and some...

    More comfort, smarter assistance and enhanced entertainment for the Porsche Macan

    Sorry. It probably means that we are out of luck or that it’s going to be an expensive upgrade…

    More comfort, smarter assistance and enhanced entertainment for the Porsche Macan

    This is new: NFC door handle (DHSP0426NFC) 13.553–13.567 MHz ≤ 42 dBμA/m @ 10 m NFC service card 13.553–13.567 MHz Which I suspect means that additional hardware is needed for Apple Key to work.

    More comfort, smarter assistance and enhanced entertainment for the Porsche Macan

    But @CHP, since you are able to get the new Owner’s Manual, can you check to see if there is any additional hardware? Owner’s > Chapter Overview > Technical Data > Radio equipment.
