HUD - Dynamic Positioning?

[JonoNZ]

Does anyone know what specifically the “Dynamic Positioning” setting in the HUD is designed to do? It’s noticeable absent from the online manuals, unless I’ve somehow managed to miss it.

On another note, does anyone feel the Macan HUD has a bit of a weird floaty feeling? Not something I’ve experienced in other HUD systems.

The focus point is different for sure. On the iX it feels like the hud is about at the bumper, which takes a bit of focus switching but isn’t bad. On the Macan I did notice it was different but not sure if it’s better or worse, something to get used to. It may have something to do with the AR or size of the hud area.

Emulates an 80" TV screen at 10m.

I just tried it, it adjusts the brightness based on the ambient light.

I feel like my wife's iX HUD is way too low and I overlook it whereas I feel like the Macan's HUD is too high (at its lowest setting). I will say that the Macan's HUD excels over the iX in terms of wearing polarized sunglasses. In the iX I can't see the HUD at its brightest setting while wearing my sunglasses and in the Macan I can still see it ...

Also note that the name in the menu is not “Dynamic positioning” but “Dynamic adjustment”. A better name would be “Dynamic brightness” or “Auto brightness”.

The position of the display moves in concert with the steering wheel and the directions you are following. This is the dynamic part. You can adjust the brightness and the vertical positioning in the settings for the HUD. I moved it lower and lowered the brightness - the latter to avoid seeing the outline of the display screen at night.

It already is raised

It usually disappears. The easiest way is to say "Hey Porsche," turn on the HUD display. Then you can set it to the right button on the steering wheel.

It's called Dynamic Positioning on my Macan, see pic...

Strange. I wonder if that is country-dependent. In my car it is called “Dyn. adjustment” and appears to change the brightness only.

I just had the idea of changing the language to German (my native tongue) to see what the engineers intended, but the only languages selectable in the US are English, French and Spanish.

I can't confirm, as I didn't bother with HUD on my Macan due to the lack of integration with Google Maps navigation, but on my husban's Taycan you can adjust the height of the HUD display. Due to our height difference and seating positions I have to adjust it higher when I want to use it. The settings to do so were not very obvious - I only found out about it when I commented it was too low and couldn't see how to change it.

On the Taycan, adjusting the HUD is done by toggling through the instrument cluster circles. There’s one on the right the middle and the left. If you hit the toggle switch one more time none of these are highlighted but on the HUD you’ll notice that there are now menu options. Scroll to adjustments and you can now change brightness/height/rotation. Worth trying on the Macan?

Just BTW, Google maps are integrated with the HUD via Android Auto. Don't know about Car play.

My wife has her seat all the way up, the HUD at its highest, and yet data can still disappear off the bottom. It should have had more adjustability for shorter users, also.
