Does anyone know how I could use OBDII or even some other bus in the car that I could tap to read the speed limit which the car is displaying in the instrument cluster and HUD (which comes from either GPS database or camera sign recognition)? I know how I can get current speed, but could also...

Tesla just recognized that blended braking benefits are worth the engineering and manufacturing costs, in order to make it available to their customers. https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/2516/teslas-new-deceleration-option-regen-now-applies-when-brake-pedal-is-pressed

Spotify seems to have disappeared from my PCM last night. I can still use it via Apple CarPlay, but Spotify is no longer in the list of audio sources. Is Porsche giving up on Spotify - unable to get it to work reliably, so getting rid of it? Or are the screwing with their already working cloud...

Tonight, I went to put something in the trunk of my CT. I opened the trunk with the remote (it was raining, so opened it before I got to the car). As I leaned in to put something in the trunk, I heard "beep, beep" and the trunk started closing, stopping only after it hit me. My first reaction...

I noticed few days ago that my car no longer lets me set the pre-climate temperature, like it used to. All I see is this screen (no slider for temperature, or buttons to enable individual zones): It gets worse. When I hit "Start pre-climate" button, it waits a while and then gives me this...

So maybe a decade ago, the dealership associations paid off Washington state lawmakers to ban direct-to-consumer car sales (model used by Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and other upstarts). The bill had trouble passing as Tesla was already established in Washington (there would be a whole bunch of really...

A new product hitting the market:

J1 Taycan owners, have you ever had a problem unplugging from EA? I just had an onboard charger replaced, so went to test it. It worked, plug-and-charge negotiated, the car charged for 10 minutes. Then I went to unplug it, pressing the button on the Taycan does absolutely nothing, car keeps on...

Does anyone know how to change the target temperature of the pre-conditioning timer? Two years in, and Porsche UI still eludes me. I can change it for manual pre-conditioning, but for timer, it only shows the target temperature but does not let me change it. Changing it in the manual...

While the top speed of wipers on my Taycan leaves me wanting more (evidently Porsche doesn't just detune their drive motors, wiper motors too ;)) I have recently discovered something new though. Did you know that if you put the wiper speed stalk to the top position, the speed of the wipers does...

A new NACS to CCS1 has now been announced (and currently in stock, $250 price), SuperTap by TeslaTap

Hi all! I am trying to figure something out. It seems some cars have this options, others don't. I'm curious whether this is North America option, or perhaps just depends on what version of software your Taycan is running. It does not appear in the PCM simulator, but here is a picture from one...

I was driving a few days ago. As I was passing a truck in an exit lane, he suddenly got confused by the road signage and decided he needed to get over fast (he didn't, as both lanes exited, but the sign might have been interpreted as only one lane was exiting). In the process, he almost ran me...

Unlike companies which have a functional OTA, every time there is a firmware upgrade required, Porsche has to pay dealers to apply the patch. Additionally, the Taycans seem to have had quite a lot of recalls (more than almost any car I've owned), and not all of them EV tech related (e.g. faulty...

I found this by accident browsing for other things, for those interested in what's inside the Taycan heater. Apparently in this case what failed was some digital programmable part lost its content and just needed to be reflashed. I wonder if it's flash memory that could not handle the heat...

As part of my retrofitting Euro tail lights project, I ended up doing a bunch of reverse engineering. One thing that I found was that the tail lights (at least the Euro ones I got) have a live LIN bus active, meaning there is something in the lights that is speaking digital communications to...

One of the few things I knew I wanted to change on my Taycan since I got it was the rear tail lights. I personally very much dislike the dual purpose stop/turn lights. They are ambiguous, i.e. takes more time for someone looking at it to distinguish turn vs. stop signaling, even more time if the...

Specifically the pinouts of the signals driving the turn signals. If anyone has them, please reply here, or DM me if you prefer to stay anonymous. For those interested, BCM2 controls a bunch of things: It looks like this: and it lives in the rear right part of your trunk

Does anyone out there have a wiring diagram for EU (or any non-North-American) tail lights? Specifically looking at pinouts and connections between BCM2 and center tail light bar (two 6 pin connectors)?

What are these orange things in the CT hatch? Are they just weights to balance the hatch? Or do they have some additional function? Here is where they are with the whole hatch exposed.
