I posted mine in Post #20 in this thread

When I wasn't sure if they were actually going to come through with replacement parts, I ordered an after-market charging unit from Amazon. The dealership hated the idea of me using it, though, and I think it shook the new unit loose from the US inventory somewhere. I kept it, because I...

Can't really tell -- I didn't think to look at the old one closely enough before they swapped it out.

Mine's been working fine in 100+ garage temps in Dallas, since my replacement saga about three pages ago on this thread. I couldn't make myself live with throttling down the current by 50% -- that's like charging with a regular wall socket. Terrible that this is the "workaround" they suggest...

Your timeline and history on this tracks mine almost exactly.

"23 weeks," according to Porsche's timeline. I had to play pretty hardball at that point, to get it down to a week, after a couple of interim promises. I did buy an after-market charging unit on Amazon, in the end, before I was certain Porsche would come through with the part timely. It was...

The one they replaced on my car is part number 7PP-971-676-BD. If you Google that number and "Porsche parts" you will find it from a couple places in the $600 range. I cannot tell from the graphic if it's the NEMA end or the car end. Drawing is short, so maybe NEMA, but the pricing does not...

That's all they did on mine. That, or they programmed the new one to have exactly the same settings and internet connections as the old one. Unfortunately, they will make you leave the car there while they screw with it. That was the start of my saga -- I knew it was the charging unit, and...

When he started looking for the parts, the Park Place guy said we're not the only ones having this problem with the wall unit cords overheating at about 12-18 months. I'm not convinced they really identified the problem as the internal charger, so much as they were throwing stuff at the wall to...

They put a new cord that connects to the car on my Mobile Charger Connect unit. They might have replaced the NEMA cord too, but I don’t think so. I just looked at my paperwork more closely, to answer your question. Turns out they also replaced the HV charger in the car, too. The service dept...

Hate to say it, but good luck. I did a charge in Dallas last night from 25% up to 100%, in my 105 degree garage, using the new cord on the charging unit. If you get recurring error and have yours serviced at Park Place, Robert Salazar is the manager who knows exactly what to do about this...

Update on my query in this thread a couple weeks ago. . . Took it to dealer, same problem as others describe here. Problem with both the charging unit overheating and the cable. Original solution? "It will take 23 weeks to get a new charging unit, not safe to use it (fire hazard) take it to...

Thanks. Been wondering if it's the charger, and not the car, but I never charge anyplace except my garage.

Did it work, to reboot the home charger as suggested? Having same problem, and would really like to be able to cancel my service appointment that's ten days out.

I'm in Dallas and have the total opposite experience. I've told several people that it's the best HVAC I've ever had in a car, and that comment is driven by the A/C cooling the car down very quickly. I thought the glass roof would be a nightmare when I park outside, but I've had the car...

Took mine in yesterday morning. Supposed to get it back in the afternoon yesterday. This morning, I asked for status and was told the tester is “fighting the vehicle a bit” and they were starting over. Just inquired again and they say they are still working on it. So much for a four hour...

Had this same problem last week, three days into ownership. Dealer sent me a workaround that uses the joker buttons to access SAT radio. Says that is a permanent fix that links the radio to the PCM display. Attaching a screenshot here.
