@Diego thank you. This is a great idea and work.

My biggest issues/feature-requests, which are mostly software related save for one:

1. wifi connection from a mobile phone inside the car is terrible. this is after disconnecting from carplay obviously. i have to hold my phone outside the car through the window to get a signal. usually there is an antenna in the interior of most cars that help with this, but I don't think the macan has it for some reason.

2. parking assistance camera doesn't go away immediately after shifting to drive from reverse (small 3-5s delay). exiting via the X in the top left corner can make it dismiss immediately though

3. we need a play/pause function for the quick access button on the steering wheel.... otherwise just stuck with muting via clicking scroll wheel or volume knob. even better is if we can replace muting with play/pause

4. we need a lane assistance toggle for the quick access button on the steering wheel...otherwise it's unsafe to toggle it off via additional functions under the assistance tab of the car settings (3+ taps on the middle screen to navigate there)

5. apple car play doesn't show google maps on the front monitor. wish it did. it would be extra cool if the AR HUD could relay directions from google maps as well.


Some minor stuff:

1. wish there was a way to turn off all lights when parked without having to lock the car and potentially trigger the alarm if touching something from inside

2. owner manual needs to show location of fuse box for those of us that don't want to opt for installation of the porche dash cam and want hard wiring access

that's all I can think of aside from a few other things I want to make sure aren't the result of user error. it's a really great car.

These are not actual issues with the car though - they are more annoyances or a wishlist of features you’d like to have.

This thread is more about actual issues / things not working or broken.

Maybe you could start a thread about features people would want in their Macan?

As @tmrqs wrote it would be better to maintain separate issues (things broken or that should work in a different way) from improvement.
I’m sure that Porsche is monitoring (been advised by my dealer) EV forum and FB EV pages to get feedback and it would be great to organize also these improvements in a categorized thread (yes, I’m an engineer )
