Thought I'd share the fixes for rel. minor issues that I know others here have or are experiencing.
A while back I reported as others have of a fan whirring/tapping noise from the central console - was clearly coming from the vent beneath the console unit and an internal cooling fan for that...
Hi all - well completed yet another 500 mile+ round trip in Texas with again Zero issues getting PnC to work immediately (no intervention at all required), this time at two separate EA stations (Alleyton/Columbus and Katy). I'm batting 100% success to date with (including multiple repeat visits...
Some may be familiar with my obsession in removing that OEM 'monkey butt' rear plate holder and super happy with the modded (plastic welding) and satin black painted grey plastic but the spaces where a typical Euro plate would fill were bugging me too :)
Main mods thread...
First up - My Homelink connection has worked fairly consistently (although at times intermittently) since first setup up in the car end Dec 2021 when the car was delivered. I have it so that it opens both my driveway gate and my overhead garage door simultaneously with one click. If I only...
There are separate threads with these data posted but I thought after reading some member's comments and concerns about 'calculated' ranges vs actual consumptive ranges, that it might be useful to share the data I have on my car to date, essentially one year of recorded data.
How you use your...
Noticed yesterday evening heading out to eat that Apple Music & Podcasts, Spotify and Online Radio access were all greyed out and unreachable.
Tested access to Apple Music with my iPhone instead of the PCM app via CarPlay and no prob whatsoever so not an Apple Server issue per se but more...
I posted this in a thread on custom phone holder ideas but thought it might be of interest to the general forum:
Link to original post and ref to my modified ashtray holder as a mag charger: #147 and other posts thereafter.
OK - results are in :)
Want ahead and tested the voltage and...
New Turismo owners in Houston - no idea if on here.
Was picking up my car from getting updates and a saw new (sold) GTS in silver in the showroom and a new (dealer temp plates) Green CT getting charged along with mine at the dealership's proprietary fast charger.
Pic from my FitCamX that they...
Was mucking about with the car after returning from a 3 week stint abroad (ignore my tire pressures - high for storage!), but whilst playing with the Nightvision I had it on in my driveway and lo and behold found all the studs in my rear garage wall :)!!
Awesome new feature - had the wife stand...
Hey all - we currently have SoH data on 19 cars with 26 readouts of which almost ALL are from northern Europe! TaycanCook and I are literally the only US based Forum users who have contributed to date.
So if you have an OBDII tool such as VGate's vLinker MC+ or similar we'd love to have the...
For fellow Houstonians - just got this posted to me re new charging stations in Houston - typically EVgo in our area are 50kW type charging destinations and of no use to me personally but these new units consist of a 2-in-1 full 350kW and 2 separate 100kW chargers - good to see more units being...
Minor thing but curious if anyone else seeing this.
I did a 15 min PnC charging session at League City EA south of Houston here in TX last Saturday (Oct 1) and nothing has shown up in the MyPorsche App nor on the web site online - that is a first - could be some sort of internal lag/delay on...
This post is SPECIFIC to the PMC+ - the PMCC is sufficiently different and more failure prone that, TBH, I would simply not use it.
Proviso: If you PMC+ is massively overheating simply do not use it and either determine if an infrastructure issue (bad house wiring, Nema 14-50 install) and/or...
NOTE: I WILL UPDATE THE CHART HERE AS MORE DATA IS ADDED VS CONSTANTLY REPOSTING BELOW.
These data to date from 93 cars with 224 readings from over 20 countries worldwide, whilst clearly not a statistically robust sum, are interesting nonetheless and some trends developing - in particular...
Interesting article that links to the Texas State assessment of the current and future needs in respect assumptions for numbers of EV's on State roads in the next 4-5 years. Very long doc but a lot of very interesting metrics and observations in here - they seem hell bent on listing (at least...
Well true to my recent 'whining' about Houston road quality I had to replace a plastic cover piece on the underside of the car due to damage caused by hitting one of the hundreds of debris/road hump hazards on my local roads - was really just a matter of time imo!
Amazingly I found this...
SOLD!
Well I have decided to sell my CETE air suspension controller system as simply put, the road conditions in my area of Houston do not allow for lowered than factory settings - truly horrible road surfaces - hugely disappointed but moving on.
Link to the details here with an embedded...
Thought I'd share a few pics outside of my main Mods thread as many might be interested in some of the cosmetic 'solutions' I went after to upgrade my 2022 4S Cross Turismo. All the Mod detail are in the main thread - just some visuals here:
Here is the link to my Mods thread with some shots...
ALL RESOLVED - Basically al induced by the team at my shop working on my mods and all went away once reassembled - bit embarrassing but all good !
My car is in a custom shop (high-end) and will be picked up next week but as I was worried about the Li-ion 12V battery degrading (has been near 6...
