    Replacement Night Vision Camera

    Happy that it was so easy in the end! Do you happen to have the VW part number by any chance?

    App to trigger battery preconditioning by sending a dummy HPC destination – does this already exist?

    My honest take. The Porsche navigation system already offers the possibility of browsing available chargers in your vicinity and selecting one as destination. Offering the same through yet another app brings no net added value. You may simply use the Porsche native app to select a nearby...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    You’re not alone. 3k km after being upgraded to 3885, mine shows no issues. Of course I remain extremely skeptical that my issue is resolved, as there’s plenty of other instances here where this update didn’t do anything. But yeah, so far mine is working just fine 🤷🏻‍♂️

    How do you have your dash/HUD configured?

    On my left tube I have ACC displayed. It shows how close the car ahead is, in relation to the dynamic distance that I've set myself. Also, it helps with making ACC negatives (i.e. when it fails to detect the car ahead) visible. If no car is shown there, then your car won't keep distance...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    That's where the misunderstanding lays. The discussion was never about the whole hybrid universe, but concretely about PHEVs: you replied to my comment, which was a direct allusion to the criticism raised by @prj SPECIFICALLY aimed at PHEVs like the new RS6. This was never about HEVs like the...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    Something to consider about priority, reputation, et al. is that there's a lot of echo chamber that is created regarding issues within owners' circles on internet forums. For the general public, these go largely unnoticed. I know it's just my personal observation, but it serves as an example...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Except it's not cheaper, and definitely not more reliable. PHEVs are found to have more problems than both ICE and BEV vehicles. So much so that it's currently considered the least reliable type of powertrain...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    I wouldn't be quick to judge the complexity of someone else's codebase without having actual knowledge about it. What seems like a trivial fix from the outside, can become a gargantuan task the moment you begin dealing with dependencies. What is clear, however, is that this topic isn't at the...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    The very argument I've been raising for a long time. It's incredible how they've brainwashed people to buy into a compromised package purely through fearmongering.

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    It's interesting to see what different people prioritise. And really, no judgment on that. Different folks, different strokes they say. I personally don't care about prestige. I drive the car for me, not for others. My priorities are driving dynamics, an interior that makes me say "this is a...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    I was thinking of setting up a small website, which based on a country selection, directly opens the submission form for the chosen European national consumer agency, including a default template report describing the problem at hand. All that without storing any data in the actual website or...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    I saw my battery reaching 50 degrees while cruising the french autoroute at 0°C outside.

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Didn't know about the Zeekr 001 FR. That thing is a hoot! Love it!

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    To be honest, that's what all these 60 pages are. Speculation. A bit more on top won't do no harm. There's no official communication on the issue: this renders EVERY statement as speculative. End of the discussion. It does not matter if there's an effort at inferring any kind of conclusion...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Zeekr 7GT or Polestar 5. EDIT: to include a photo of the half-swedish beauty.

    Switzerland Specific - LTE GSM and WiFi in Garage

    For me, the biggest issue is that it takes around 15 minutes for the damned LTE module to lock on after leaving the garage.

    Switzerland Specific - LTE GSM and WiFi in Garage

    I am in the same situation. I actually contacted the Verwaltung to ask whether it'd be possible to install a 5G repeater in the garage, but they refused. They suggested that, as an alternative, I could install it myself by first handing over to them a project signed by an electrician, which they...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    How's the hardware faulty? The main hypothesis (no, no one here can muster anything better than that at the moment) is that the hardware is running out of memory due to loading to many POIs in the screen. If that is the indeed the case, then I can tell you: fixing this via software is actually...

    Screen Protector for Taycan

    Thanks bud. Considering that I am extremely picky about the end result of things, and average at manual work, I think I'll follow your path and have it installed for me.

    Screen Protector for Taycan

    I have ordered the anti-glare Screen ProTech kit, but haven't dared to install it yet. How was the experience like for those who DIY'd the installation themselves?
