    Worth getting Connect for a month (every year or two)?

    Hi all, I see that Connect have changed from a yearly £290 to a £23/month subscription. I don't have a sub as I bought the car in March and it was already just outside of the 3 year free connect subscription. I didn't really have much of a need to buy connect as i have my own tracker and i...

    Lastest PCM/MY2025 cars - Is it both Carplay AND Android AUTO in the dashboard?

    Taycan (Turbo) Spoiler - When does it deploy?

    Hi all, Just wondering at what point does the Spoiler deploy? I assume like the 911 it comes up at a specific speed, but does it only do it in a specific mode? How does one know it is up/down? Is there a way of manually deploying it like there was on my 911? Other than the "cleaning...

    Mission-E Touch-up paint colours?

    Hi all, My mission-E's on my Turbo have got a couple of marks on them (on both the white and black parts). So i'm looking at buying a couple of touch-up pens for it to make it look a little less obviously marked. Anyone got any idea what colours they are classed as so i can make them as...

    Miles(/km) per KwH Figures.

    hi all, ok so i'm still relatively new to my Taycan (3-4 weeks now i think), but reading around i'm seeing people mentioning they get 3-4 miles/kwh out of their taycan. I'm totally baffled by this, best I can seem to achieve is about 2. goes up to about 2.2 if i put it in range mode. This...

    Has anyone tweaked their Taycan via ODB2 (adaptations/coding stuff)?

    In previous cars i've had (VAG) i've been able to mess around to enable features or tweak things (such as enabling lane assist or changing the number of flashes for a light touch of the indicators/blinkers) Has anyone done anything meaningful to their Taycan via any kind of OBD2 (other than...

    looking for how to view the battery health

    hi all. I've read that you can use an app called car scanner with an OBD2 dongle to read it but my OBD2 dongle doesn't seem to connect to the Taycans ecu. I've got a foxwell scanner which has the Porsche stuff on it , and I've updated and checked and it connects fine and gives me a whole...
