    CT4 charging failure

    I had an issue on my previous turbo s. It steadfastly refused to charge on a 22kw charger. Plus, the charging port door refused to open. You live in ignorant bliss until you’ve manually attempted to opened one with the plastic tool they supply. Its terrifying. it also wouldn’t release the cable...

    Rattling parcel shelf - Sport Turismo

    My Germanic engineering comment was actually a back handed compliment.

    Rattling parcel shelf - Sport Turismo

    How many cars have you owned with a parcel shelf? I’ve had a few and not one of them had arms that needed to be deployed to stop a rattle? Good old Germanic engineering.

    Rattling parcel shelf - Sport Turismo

    Point taken. I just didn’t expect it to be something as silly as retractable supports otherwise I would have trawled the forum for an answer. I have my solution so I’m a happy, if embarrassed, camper 😎

    Rattling parcel shelf - Sport Turismo

    My parcel shelf likes to dance and it’s driving me mad with its incessant rattling. Before I drag it the OPC and have them fiddle with it only to show me it wasn’t seated properly, is there anyone else had this issue and what should I be looking for? Thanks.

    iOS 17.4 and navigation

    Anyone noticed any new features with Apple Maps, Google maps, etc., within CarPlay? I’m aware the new turn by turn prompts were aimed at cars with dashboard integration but I was hoping we would get something cool as a trade off. I can’t see any difference, so a little underwhelmed.

    My Porsche App - Charging state, push notifications

    Andersen single phase home charger and the service station that I mentioned was gridserve. I don’t think this really makes a difference as the car refuses to notify of an error state regardless of what I’m plugged into.

    My Porsche App - Charging state, push notifications

    This is what I am on about. Sorry it happened to you, but glad it’s not just me.

    My Porsche App - Charging state, push notifications

    I get none of those. I switched to Octopus Intelligent yesterday and at 1am my Andersen charger reported an RCM error state. The charger app alerted but nothing from the My Porsche app. Not a lot I could do at 1am as I was asleep so just reset the charger via the Andersen app when I awoke...

    My Porsche App - Charging state, push notifications

    just a simple message along the lines of “My Porsche App has detected a charging error”. That way I can tackle the problem at the time of the error, rather than later. Thanks.

    My Porsche App - Charging state, push notifications

    In my fourth year of Taycan ownership and one thing that has always bugged me is the lack of push notifications for the my Porsche app. So much so, that it has me doubting whether it’s the app, or something I have setup incorrectly. Let me explain…. I charge the car, domestically, to 100% in...

    Sunglasses holder in place of grab handle

    I’d like to thank tomato for refreshing this thread. I’ve just picked up my new sport turismo and the thought of having to hack the door handle to pieces to get at the spring and pin mechanism again wasn’t something I was relishing. Then along came tomato with his pictorial reply and...

    Next Gen Apple CarPlay for Porsche (and Aston Martin) - a First Look

    If it’s a free update, then why not? If you prefer the PCM then don’t use the new AP screens. I would love Apple navigation shown in both the HUD & the instrument binnacle. Anything else would be a bonus for me. As for needing new hardware to control the heater controls, you can already do...

    My Porsche App Update for Taycan Finally Adds Climate Controls & More through Apple Carplay! Happy Thanksgiving!

    I can now turn the car radio on from within the app and it appears to stay on. That is worth its weight in gold, if you ask me. I’ve only lived without this function for three years so progress has indeed been slow!! The rest of it appears to be work in progress. Once you can customise all the...

    New Apple CarPlay in iOS 16.

    Certainly a mixed reception to this news. I use CarPlay for Waze in the background. Beauty is it can be turned off and on at will. What will be the game changer for me is that, finally, we’ll have one system controlling the media instead of two vying for control, like power crazy dictators...

    Porsche connect - can’t preheat or precool

    Mines stopped pre-heating too. None of the timers work and trying to do it via the app yields an error message. Been -2 most mornings so I’ve been scraping windows. Grrr!!

    Sunglasses holder in place of grab handle

    Its the drivers side you put it in. By the same rationale why would the driver need a grab handle?

    Sunglasses holder in place of grab handle

    Purely a matter of choice. If you put them in the centre console I assume you’ll leave them in the case? Our option is a case strapped to the ceiling. Something I’ve had on other cars and I consider to be a brilliantly simple idea. For me it was worth the hassle of hybridising the handle and...

    Thanks for sharing, what is, a very constructive addition to this post.
