I picked up my brand new Macan 4S last month and had opted to have the Porsche Dashcam fitted.
When I attempted to use the App, the settings for Parking feature were not available.
I queried this with my Porsche dealer and was told that this feature was unavailable due to ‘battery issues’ in the Macan EV. In essence, the camera only works in driving mode with the ignition on.
I’m taking this matter up with Porsche as one of the reasons I paid extra for the dashcam to be fitted was for the ‘park’ function. If this feature is unavailable in the Macan EV due to a technical problem, in my mind it should’ve been pointed out to me before I decided to make the purchase.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello

I asked my dealer and they activated the parking mode for me. At the moment I have no problem.

The dealer spoke of battery drain which makes little sense on an EV. How long have you had the parking mode activated?

Since 1 month. The Dashcam cuts off if the battery voltage drops too low.

Have you noticed any major battery usage since having it activated in Park?

He talks about the 12V battery. If it is flat you will no longer be able to open and start the vehicle.

My vehicle often stays 1 week without driving. For the moment I haven't noted anything

I have about the usage of the vehicle. Just to confirm that your dashcam is connected to the 12v battery when in park. Plus do you mind telling me who your dealer is?
