Ok that makes sense! I haven't tried ACC yet.

On a side note, resetting the network settings of my iPhone 12 fixed all Apple Carplay/pairing issues. And I have used the button beside the rear camera to open the hatch lots of times without issue, so I bet the car was locked when the technician tried to demo the button. I finally saw the look of the headlights (DRL's and main beams) last night and it looks freakin' amazing. Beyond happy!

One question about preheating (or cooling depending on where you are) the cabin. It seems like just pressing "Unlock" on the key fob is supposed to start preconditioning the interior? Is this only when it is plugged in? It's a bit confusing, and not really secure to have to unlock the car for it to preheat the cabin. Or is the first unlock press used to preheat the cabin, then the second unlock is to actually unlock the doors?
This is what the manual says:

Didnā€™t know that about the pre-climate. Seems odd to have to unlock the door.

great car, great ā€˜colorā€™ choice. I think this suits it very well. Have fun!

Very close to the spec I ordered, I just have different wheels. Is this plain black or metallic?

Unlock to pre-heat is one of many pre-heat options if you see my post just one above yours.

Hi MatC21,

It is just plain black. There were other Macan EVs at other Porsche dealers, but this was the only black one in the city so I jumped on it.

Thanks and sorry Iā€™m new to this and havenā€™t gotten my car yet! Put another way say i go over to a friends house and it snows while im there and i want to preheat the car. If I go to the app and select preheat (so itā€™s warm before I head outside) is the door unlock?
