New app features?

[chaz]

Not sure if these are new or they just popped up for me as an upcoming owner.

very nice!!

i bet EA wasn't too happy about that feature...

I updated yesterday. I’m not getting all the features though. I get the watch complication info. I don’t get all the other features they claim such as NACS options, etc on the app. I don’t have an adapter so I guess it’s less relevant but I’m wondering if they might have gotten a bit ahead of themselves and inadvertently announced NACS support prematurely.

I can’t seem to get the range info to show on my watch for some reason. I selected range info and it shows three dashes and then I selected vehicle status and there’s a “?” on it haha go figure Porsche

I enabled the new watch complication for range, and clicking it goes to the right place, but it is sadly not displaying anything (top left in photo). Maybe the next update will get that working.

And yes, my watch face is the same color as my car, or as close as it can be...

I just updated the App. What I find really useful is you can extend the charge time to give more than 80% when on long trip. Previously you couldn’t set the % at arrival more than 80% and then this set the charging stop time.

The range complication doesn’t work on my Apple Watch either

I get a bar which is a shortcut to the app which does show the range, charge etc.

I’m seeing very odd behavior for these new complications on both of my Apple Watches. When I edit a watch face to add them, I can see the correct values in the complications (e.g., state of charge or vehicle status) while in edit mode, but when I exit that mode, they go blank—as pictured above. Looks like Porsche didn’t do enough testing on this before pushing the update.

This could be a nice feature when/if properly implemented, but I do wonder… will these complications require frequent checks with the vehicle itself? If so, that might have an impact on SOC because the vehicle will have to be wakened for each status check. Anyone have any insight on how waking the Macan for a status check affects SOC?

As noted before, when editing the watch face you can see the correct values (the way it’s supposed to be). But you only get a dotted line or blank icon on the actual watch. And yes, when you tap on this, it does open the watch’s My Porsche app. But it already used to do it before when tapping the Porsche emblem which was available when clicking the side wheel to bring up the list of apps. Rather than having a blank space or dotted lines on the watch face, I would add the Porsche emblem as a complication (at least until Porsche fixes the glitch) since it looks nicer and also opens the watch’s My Porsche app.
Answering the other inquiry (@LivingTheDream), in my experience opening the watch’s My Porsche app doesn’t “wake up” the car, hence no battery drain. You have to do other tasks like lock/unlock or start climate control to do that.

Definitely looking forward to the SOC complication, but having the same experience with blank values.
Was funny how the write up for the new features seemed to be in future tense. Not ready for prime time yet. Should not have been released.
Speaking of software, my recall appointment for the back up camera was cancelled this week due to a software issue as well. No ETA on resolution.

Same here, not seeing data in complication. It shows when I click on the complication because that’s essentially opening the Porsche app on the phone. I have a feeling it’s connected to the fact that even my iPhone app doesn’t “always” show up-to-date range and charge status (and I can’t set remote temp either). Porsche customer service recommended I take the car in for an available update WSD0 but service center is saying no guarantee that will fix the issue and they’ve seen some cars getting bricked for an unspecified amount of time. Software support from Porsche is quite lacking.
