No or inconcistent LCA (blind spot)

[chrisk]

I picked up my brand new Macan Turbo Ev today and after only 5 minutes of driving, the car decided to welcome me with a yellow warning that Lane Change Assist is unavailable. The warning went away after a few seconds. However, I don't think my blind spot works since the lights on the mirrors never turn on when other vehicles are around.
I double checked Lane Change Assist is enabled on PCM, so that's not the issue.
The car is a 2025 model, January built, with all software updates supposedly installed including the latest one (WSD0 Installing extension to software network VR28.11), which is supposed to solve the assist system issues.

Do your blind spot mirror warning lights work consistently every time there is another vehicle around?

Mine January build 2025 does, including the ambient light strip in the doors.

Mine works perfectly (lights on the side mirror and interior communication lights in the doors turn on yellow with a nice animation).

Mine works on the mirrors but never managed to get the internal strip to work!! If anyone figured the notification trigger to activate it, please let me know.

Turbo with only 40 miles is at the dealer with a non-working LCA.
I will report back with any updates.

Mine 4 works inconsistently on the driver side mirror. Left side mirror lights comes on even if there are cars that parked on other side of the road, incoming cars, and more lights comes on highways especially when driving on left/fast lane. I think it senses the wall barrier on the middle of the road/highways/freeways, etc. Already sent to the dealer and it took them 7 days to fix it supposedly. I haven't got a change to inform them about this recurring issue.

I got my car back from service. LCA worked ok on the way back. They found transient faults at the camera fan in the overhead console. No idea how that is related to the LCA error and how/why it resolved on its own. I don't think they fixed anything. Time will tell if it happens again.
