2025 Macan Turbo Electric
Country flag
It's been almost 3 months since I got my Macan Turbo and to this day, still absolutely love the car.
Very happy with its features, so only added a few things, here's the list.


1. Cubby organizer

Already described the tray itself and adding felt in other posts, will just say @cottony's creation is a game changer: no more items flying/rattling around as I drive.
I can store my sunglasses there, out of sight yet easy to reach when I need them.


2. Center armrest tray

Another creation from @cottony! I always keep a cube Kleenex box in the center armrest compartment and some candy, but reaching the candy was always tricky.
With this tray (still need to add felt around it), the box of tissues is now hidden *and* the candy is easy to grab. Perfect!

3. Dash cam

I wanted a way to record what happens on my drives but didn't want something that protruded/covered the windshield.
My biggest requirement was aesthetics, both from inside and out. I bought and tested different models (Vantrue, Thinkware, Viofo, Blackvue) but none blended in enough... until I saw @byebye's post about the Fitcamx.

The biggest concern was the picture quality, not using the same sensor as the other brands listed above but still gave it a go.
Turns out the picture quality is relatively similar to the other 4 during the day, and a little degraded a night, but not so much so it's useless.

The cam is largely unnoticeable, I love it!

For reference, it's the Fitcamx 4K Dash Cam Suitable for Porsche 911 992 Cayenne 9YA 9Y0 9Y3 Panamera 971 Taycan (Model A) - here on Amazon.

(can you spot the EZ pass tag? 🤫)

4. EZ Pass cover

As for the dash cam, the idea of having an ugly grey box on the windshield made me cringe.
I have two types of tags at home and decided the rectangular looking one was my best bet.

Turns out you can find silicone wraps for most shapes of the tags on Amazon (I got this one), with or without suction cups.

I didn't end up using them, rather taped the transponder directly to the windshield so it would be more flush.
As a result, it sits very close to the top and is barely noticeable from the driver side (see 2nd pic above) and outside - and not terrible looking for the passenger.

You really need to get close to the windshield, at an angle, to spot the tag.

5. Trunk organizer

The last item I got is a Soft Sided Folding Cargo Organizer - I actually got it back when I had my Ford Mustang Mach-e and it's great.
It folds and takes virtually no space, the 3 compartment organizer is the exact length of the trunk (from door to back seat) and still give me plenty of space next to it.

Whenever I go grocery shopping, I just unfold it and done. Plus it has handles so I can just take the organizer home with the groceries in it instead of carrying bags and whatnot. Granted, it has a Ford logo on one side... but just turn it around and it's hidden. 🙃

And that's it, everything else is stock and not felt the need for more.
Any suggestions?

the FitCam is definitely the way to go. I'm really hoping they continue to develop their products and have newer models. I def want to pick up whatever they come out with next.
I may have to look into that EZ pass thingie too... good stuff

Has anyone posted installation instructions? I'm guessing this connects directly to the fuse box. Anyway to connect to OE dashcam wires? Is this the model B version?

I'd like to add one for the front and rear.

Glad you enjoyed the organizers!

other users have told me that the EZ pass can be detected by the toll readers when placed in the cubby organizer, at least in California. I haven’t tested it out, but that could be an alternative to placing it on the window!

I also installed the FitCamX and have been happy with how inconspicuous it is! The only sad thing is that it doesn’t record during parking 😢


I'm guessing this connects directly to the fuse box.
Their website has install directions and videos. It plugs in to the rain sensor, not fuse box (does not need the Porsche pre wiring option to be configured)

I was told Model A was the one for Macan EV but just quoting what I heard. I don't have one

Ah I see Macan 2025 in the model description now. Model A is correct.

So this just connects to the rain sensor, not the fuse box?

model a, rain sensor, no fuse box.

their support is pretty good. They’ll verify your model and year when you order as well as request pics of your mirror so they can double check you’re not ordering the wrong one.

also I had some WiFi issues initially and they were quite responsive about it when I emailed them

Edit** they sent the wrong link**

I guess i cant be surprised it's the Audi version. I received an e-mail response from fitcamx:

Hi there,
Please choose Model A (HD2-7708) via the link: FITCAMX Dash Cam for Audi
If you will be placing an order, please let me know the order number after placing the order. So that we can confirm the model and ship as soon as possible. Thanks.
Best regards,

Is it also the HD2-7708 model?
No idea, but the Porsche model A definitely fits the Macan ev.

You should ask the customer service ppl if the two models are identical. If they are buy the Audi one and save some money

or just buy the Porsche model A if you don’t care about the $10.
