Curious if anyone else had the following:
1) Apple play caused system to crash while driving - after two weeks Porsche identified a hardware problem and fixed it
2) Loose steering, sometimes. Sometimes it feels like the gas version, tight, solid. Sometimes it feels super loose. Changing mode (sport, sport plus etc doesn't solve the issues)
3) Front Screen display gets stuck. E.g. if a call comes in and the screen shows"accept, reject" the button doesn't work on the steering wheel, only the center screen. Then the "accept reject" screen gets stuck even after a restart of the car.
4) The lane assist feels really, really aggressive. Kind of ruins the driving experience.

I’ve had my turbo for a couple of months. No real electronic or steering issues. Lane assist does seem a bit aggressive but I’m used to it and find it helpful given my aged reflexes.

I haven't seen any of these issues so far, but its only been 600 miles.

The lane assist can be a little annoying if not used under the conditions it is best at and sometimes puts up too much of a fight. But the button at the end of the cruise control stalk quickly turns it off and on. I'm starting to learn when to use it and when not to expect much from it and disable it.

In settings, you have sensitive settings you can adjust. Play around with it and see if it feels better. I adjusted mine to low interference and the driving experience is improved.
