    Poor mobile reception

    Hi i agree that the windows have a demonstrably negative impact on phone reception because as you say the signal improves on window opening. The impact of the glass roof is harder to judge because i dont know if its a similar double layer construction and you cant remove it ! (obviously)...

    Poor mobile reception

    Yes now you mention it a lack of a physical connection seems hard to fathom . I am wondering if anyone sells/installs booster equipment in the after market

    Poor mobile reception

    hi the extract from the handbook only talks about a bluetooth connection for this benefit with a usb connection not being necessary - and on my car it runs Apple Car Play with just a bluetooth connection.

    Reception in my Taycan in the uk is very poor with frequent dropped calls. It is as though the dar acts as its own faraday cage. Can anyone comment on this from the handbook - which does not deem to work in my car.

    This is a great report thanks for taking the time to do it. I have been putting off taking our Taycan to France but did recently take our Mercedes GLE hybrid down there. One day I will take the Taycan. Researching it ahead of this I already discovered that the in car navigation system is...

    On the question of heat insulated glass and mobile reception interference. My Taycan has heat insulated glass. For some time now mobile reception in the car has been poor with many dropped calls. My daughter told me the other day to get rid of the car! Rather than take her advice immediately I...

    ? Official Release: 2022 Porsche Taycan Upgrades & New Colors

    They should fix the ridiculous sat nav route planner which is beyond attrocious. Wont even pick their own ionoity fast chargers in Europe. On a 700 mile journey it was planning one stop of 1 hour 41minutes! A better route planner had ALL stops on the journey adding to 1 hour 31 minutes. BTW...

    Pic of Head Up Display (HUD) & Wireless CarPlay/Charging

    yes. I agree the option cost mounts up. My personal choice was to leave off rear wheel steering, PDDC as the car handles v well with its low centre of gravity. Actually the PDDC keeps the car so flat it made me feel ill when i tried it and apparently the engineers decided to dial down its...
