    Incomplete Lift Mode

    I noticed something off with my car recently. After (GPS based) smart lift engaged, the car never finished lifting (indicator was blinking few minutes later). Turning off lift and turning it back on fixed it. No errors thrown on the dash or PCM (didn't PIWIS with me to scan at the time). Has...

    Tire damage, wear, or defect?

    I just swapped out my Porsche NF0 rated winter tires, and noticed weird looking damage on one of the tires (the other 3 were all fine), the right rear tire, on the inside edge only. I haven't driven over anything, plus the damage is all around the tire circumference so not like I drove over a...

    Porsche subscription services are a joke

    I honestly think Porsche is in real trouble, completely out of their depth as far as software and subscription services. My free Connect subscription recently ended, so I went to renew it in the app a literally a couple of hours after receiving the notification that it's ending. Well, it...

    "Take over steering" message - anyone else get those without ADAS engaged?

    I have seen the "Take over steering" message in the past when using ALK, but today I got one without ALK or any assistance being engaged (at least I did not engage them). It was no the warning about not staying in the middle of the lane, which I occasionally got in the past when lanes are not...

    Porsche unable to engineer a reliable heater?

    I had my passenger cabin heater replaced under a recall in 2024. I presumed, incorrectly, that Porsche has in fact figured out the problem. Then I got into my Taycan today, no heat, System Error showing on the preheat tab of the PCM - the new, reengineered Porsche heater dead already, and it...

    J1.1 Air suspension auto-leveling not working after unloading trunk?

    I noticed on a couple of occasions that if I happen to have some luggage in the trunk of my 2023 CT, and I take it out, then close+lock the car, the Taycan stays crooked, with one side being clearly at a different level than the other. Here are a couple of examples: Raising the car and...

    J1.1 cars, does the car now remember drive suspension settings?

    I know J1.2 cars can remember that settings like suspension height under each of the Drive modes, but J1.1 cars only did that for the Individual mode. However, I was playing around with suspension levels while in Sport mode, left it in Low before switching to Normal IIRC. The following day, I...

    How to read speed limit via OBDII

    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...

    Spotify option gone from PCM

    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...

    What can trigger CT trunk to close?

    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...

    Is your pre-climate via app still working as before?

    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...

    Elon's political antics may help WA EV consumers

    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...

    Has EA ever tried to take your car hostage?

    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...

    How to change pre-condition timer temperature?

    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...

    Top wiper speed is variable (and limited)

    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...

    Does your pre-2025 Taycan have this setting?

    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...
