My Porsche app was updated on February 10, and since then CarPlay could not sync with my Taycan to get battery information. I don’t have a Connect subscription for over a year, and the battery sync has been working. From the latest app update, it stopped. I have to go into the app: Vehicle /...

I didn’t renew Porsche Connect either as I didn’t find it useful. I contacted my Porsche dealership regarding WRS0, who said to bring the car in once they have the software update available to apply from Porsche. Hopefully, deactivating Privacy Mode works, and the update gets applied OTA, and...

Got the WRS0 letter today. I don’t have an active Connect subscription anymore, so let’s see what happens.

@wmras in the UK we get up to 3 years extended warranty but unlimited miles as compared to the US. Seems like the warranty can be renewed multiple times until the car is less than 15 years old. A Porsche Approved Warranty offers: Worldwide cover All repair or replacement costs are covered...

I’m sticking with the Porsche warranty based on the replies, but still considering the GAP and tyre insurance - as you say, the Taycan needs a lot of financial help.

ALA offer GAP insurance with tyre cover for £1,000 for 3 years (5 tyre replacements), which sounds okay as a single tyre starts from £300 and I’ve had to replace 3 tyres due to punctures during my 3 years of ownership.

Thanks, I was wondering what would happen if there was a difference.

Once the Connect subscription ends, the app pretty much becomes useless as it shows no data at all (battery level, trips, range, etc) - same with the website. I guess that helps me not look at the app to admire my efficiency ? In all seriousness, the app should have the basic trip data. At...

I’ve just purchased 3 years Porsche extended warranty for £3k. However, I decided to check online if anyone else offers extended warranty. I came across ALA (who also offer GAP) and their quote is £737.92 for 3 years (platinum, higher labour rate, and claim limit at the car market rate). I...

Can GAP insurance be renewed after the first 3 years, and if so, is it worth it?

My Porsche doesn’t show recalls. You have to use the My Porsche website to find out what recalls are required for your car.

IO usually works fine for me, but sometimes it’s forgotten my car, and doesn’t set a charge plan, so the car doesn’t get charged on those occasions. On the few occasions that’s happened, I’ve had to delete the car from the Octopus app and then go through the IO process again (set up car, EVSE...

So I got an email from the dealership saying that they can’t fault the charging, which is strange because the fault is that the car isn’t charging. So the mystery continues. At least I can say my EVSE isn’t the issue as it can charge the loan car.

To be fair, I haven’t had any charging issues until yesterday in almost 3 years of ownership, but I do get the frustration suffered by those that have. New platform, new problems especially for us Gen 1 owners. Both charging port lights are still off, and the “charging system is not connected”...

If the issue happens 30% of the time, then surely they can reproduce it? Hopefully they can fix it for you soon.

That’s the annoying. Has it always been like that for you? Why does it need to fail completely before they will replace it?

What was the fix? I have a similar issue where the centre console says “charging system not connected” and the charge ports aren’t working either, so I can’t charge the car. Strangely enough, this happened after the car passed its MOT at a Porsche Centre.

Tried this but no joy. I see the centre console says “charging system not connected”.

I had my Taycan go through and pass its MOT today at a Porsche Centre. I got home, tried to charge the car, but couldn’t. Both charging ports are off (no lights at all) and the charge cable isn’t clicking in. Centre console says “charging not possible”. I’ll wait until the morning before...

I was watching this and paused the used prices on AutoTrader: Interesting thought on going up a level if the right car / deal is out there.
