So done 12000 miles and been pretty trouble free. But this week after using an ionity fast charger for the first an d only time, i now only get 3.7 at home instead of normal 7. Also the timed ‘flashing blue’ charging no loner works! Also the bose speakers no longer work driviers side.

booked in at porsche for a look and software update, anyone else had same.

It's unlikely the brand of fast charger affects anything.
Have you fast charged elsewhere?
If this is your first time fast charging, it might be that there was some problem in the charging controller in the car and it blew some circuit?

Also, you "get" 3.7 .... what?

I think he means 3.7 kw/ hr instead of 7 kw/hr.
I’ve used Fastned & GRIDSERVE Ultra chargers and had no issues after on my Simpson home charger. Plug & charge has worked seamlessly each time as well.

I've used Ionity and other brands of super chargers several times and had no issues. However, I'm now wondering what the flashing blue charger is, as I've only had a green line on the info bar and I can't remember seeing any other areas flashing when I've been charging. It's strange that your speaker no longer works, and I'm not sure how the two would be related. Could be coincidental timing, as these bloomin cars seem to have a mind of their own. I've had the same selection that others have of random sporadic error messages, over sensitive crash warnings, speed sign recognition not working and the car thinking most roads are just 60 mph regardless of motorways or school zones, and today - for the first time, 'disco party lights' showing on screen at what would have been the side of the car, when putting it into reverse. You've done well to get to 12,000 miles without any issues or a trip back to your dealer by now. Mine was in a few weeks ago.

the blue flashing is when its on the times charging to allow charging between certain times. This can be set up on the charging section on the centre console.

it was more about the software updates and wondered if there was notable differences before/after?

Ah! That's why I haven't seen that then, as my timed charging is controlled through our home automation (I have a geeky husband) rather than the Porsche app.

I've had the most recent software update (installed late June) and other than the traffic sign recognition is marginally more accurate (but still no where good enough to rely on Innodrive) nothing else seems to have improved - there are still a plethora little random niggles.
