How to reset your Macan EV -- hold volume button for 30 seconds

What they do have is gold plated rock solid warranty (you'll need it) and so apart from an inconvenience here or there you will encounter the odd issue which will be treated without drama and for free.

This is what I want to read!!!

Perhaps but I've never had to manually reset either of my Taycans in 4 years - never done the engineering reset, pulled a fuse or 12v shimmy.

Same, except 4+ years!

Macan EV is built on Android Auto (I believe)

Android Automotive, not Android Auto. They're two separate products. Google aren't great at naming things

As far as I know, they're not adding Google services though. That's an optional feature when a manufacturer is using Android Automotive. The base OS is free and open-source, but they have to pay a licensing fee to use "Google Automotive Services" (like Google Maps) on it.

Yep.

Android Auto is Google’s version of Apple CarPlay whereas Android Automotive is an actual car operating system - previously manufacturers would have used QNX, for example.

I confirm the 30 seconds press works on macan turbo.
Had my first black screen and this restarted the system (with ignition on).
Loving the car, amazing , but I am having a new problem…. My wife wants it!!!

“Houston, we have a problem.”

I have a feeling I might face the same challenge.

My wife keeps taking my Taycan hence now ordering the Macan. ….happy life.

Might want to note that this just resets the PCM, not the whole car.
