    CarPlay-Porsche Connect communication

    My Apple Maps sync with charge % worked for a while last year, then stopped syncing after my PCM data connection had problems. Fixing the PCM data issue via fuse reset restored car LTE, but did not fix the battery charge updates. I tried everything including unpairing the vehicle from Apple...

    Did you touch up paint on your car before? How was the result?

    I have dolomite silver, and my scratch went all the way to the bumper. After applying the touchup paint, you can still see it clearly but it looks better than the original scratch. This is after clearcoat, sanding, and polishing; don’t expect it will go away, but at least I feel better that...

    Power on/off button.. Long press time?

    I got the double-tap to work a few times on my 2020, but it was quite finicky in terms of timing and length of tap. So unfortunately back to the long press for me.

    Apple CarPlay battery percentage not working - is it because I don't have Porsche Connect?

    I stopped getting updated charge % for me several months ago after my communication module stopped working. Once I reset it by tripping the fuse, it still didn’t work until magically about a week ago where my car’s charge % is accurately reflected once again. Not sure the reason but I would give...

    Dash disassembly instructions needed

    I had a similar rattle a while back, and followed steps similar to the YouTube video to remove the instrument panel. I attached adhesive felt behind the lower corners where it looked like it was touching the dash, being careful not to put it too close to the edge (in which case you can see it...

    Road Noise

    I just posted in another thread about my Resonix door sound insulation install. No wheel wells, but I’m satisfied with the results so far. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/sound-deadening-noise-reduction-wheel-wells.34403/post-534519

    Sound Deadening Noise Reduction wheel wells

    I was able to do 3 of the 4 doors this weekend; I didn’t do the drivers’ side because I don’t have enough Resonix Guardian left. But there is already a significant improvement in road noise, enough where I may not touch the wheel wells. It took a few hours per door. Resonix Butyl Rope to...

    Sound Deadening Noise Reduction wheel wells

    I don’t know about the wheel wells, but having previously taken off the door cards for rattles I can verify the doors have poor sound insulation. I already bought the resonix solution for all 4 doors, they are in my garage right now. I’m on vacation, but will report back after I install them.

    Electrical Systems Error - Park Vehicle in a Safe Place

    Anyone know if the failure occurs gradually? I have an extended warranty and if it’s an issue I’d prefer to have it happen while still covered…

    [Well known problem] - great cell signal no data - requires dealer visit to resolve

    I had this problem where my connectivity was down for a week with the two crossed lines instead of LTE. Based on other posts, I pulled the 7.5A fuse in my left footwell (not main panel) Row A (top row, tan/brown) Slot *12* (LHD 2020 Taycan). I left the car locked for an hour, put the fuse back...

    4S saloon J2 rear camera washer

    Sometimes the washer is clogged, if so try to clean it gently with a needle. If it’s never worked, you may need to hit the wash icon many, many times to get enough fluid to operate the washer. Like maybe 50 times total (the car may prevent you from doing it too many times in a row, just keep...

    TSB for Headrest Rattle

    That’s awesome. Does that mean you did it already, and if so about how long did it take you? I’ve just procrastinated since I didn’t want it to take multiple days and drive around without the seat backs in place.

    Squeaky passenger seat

    Not sure, but I’d bet it won’t be covered so you have to do it yourself. Good news is that if you have rattling headrests, you can kill two birds with one stone.

    Squeaky passenger seat

    When you mentioned the back plastic, is it maybe this? If so, it requires the seat back to be taken off completely. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-10254070-0001.pdf
