1. Anyone else had problems with Porsche Vehicle Tracking system (or other connect systems) not renewing (payment taken) and being stuck in 'being activated' limbo?

2. Porsche mechanics know more about the cars than me. Any idea why they'd pump all of the tyres (after unconnected warranty work) up to the same pressure when car settings/plate saying the rears should be 4 psi less?

3. Is there an auto-lock function for the car. Just noticed it had been open overnight :eek:

It was my understanding it would auto lock if turned off, doors shut and you walked away with the key after X seconds. Can only of read it here so don't quote me !

False, it does not automatically lock when you walk away from the car. You need to manually lock the car. It will however automatically re-lock itself if it was already locked when you walked near it with the key but did not open it IIRC.

2. Sounds like the person responsible for filling the tires needs training. I doubt Porsche would have its experienced mechanics perform that task.

Hmmm not sure why they even checked them!

Mine are the same on all corners at “2 person” loading.

When it’s “2 person + luggage” then the rears get 4 psi more and the front get 2 psi more:

I’ve actually walked away and left the car “on” and unlocked.

Guess who’s been driving a Tesla for years…🤣

Nope. All the subs, free or paid (like PVTS) registered / activated before I collected and on collection day when I logged into the car everything came around smooth.

I was mildly shocked 😜

1. Similar happened to me on collection. Someone at Head Office had to link everything up apparently. I also had to go back into the OPC and have the cards re-programmed even though My Porsche was showing everything as working. The giveaway was I couldn’t access the certificate. Not sure if this is relevant to you if you’re renewing.

!!! I haven't manually pushed the button to lock my Honda in 6 years!! I rarely even pull the key out of the bottom of my bag. Woah, and here I am all worried about my paint and getting a dashcam... never mind the fact I'll probably get it stolen before any of that matters.
I just downloaded the manual to my new phone... seems I have plenty more reading to do!

If your inflation plate rating is the same as @Midlifecrisis maybe the garage just go worst case to the full capacity pressures - that is even all round for the 20’s - by default? 🤷
Maybe they decided to compromise between the 2 settings -
38-34 light load
38-40 full load
🤷‍♂️
