    RJ-11 splitter for both radar detector and dashcam

    I have my Escort hardwired into fuse box with RJ-11 connector feeding my Escort. I was wondering if I can take my RJ-11 jack connector I plug into my Escort and instead connect it to a 2 for 1 splitter and then run a wire to both Radar detector AND dashcam. Would this work? Is there enough...

    Taycan Blank Key

    Somehow I lost my key from my key fob. The part that slides out and used to unlock the door if the key battery is dead or remote now working. I found some online but had to buy them in bulk of 5. So I have extras if anyone ever finds themselves needing one and not wanting to pay $100 or it's...

    Internet Radio Stopped Working? Why?

    My '22 Taycan RWD with software update (still requires reboot 20% of the time) has now stopped playing Internet Radio stations. What is required to play these stations? Does it run off the phone's connectivity or off its own LTE services (does this require subscription?). Why did my Internet...

    Charging costs versus speed/rate of charge

    How will home electricity companies bill us for charging our EVs? Is it purely by how many kWh are transferred? If I pay .15/kWh and I charge 50 kWh to my battery I should be charged $7.50. So, does it matter if I charge at 1kW or 10kW? I would be charged the same dollar amount? Does this...

    Need a Class Action Lawsuit - Porsche Mobile Charger

    I received this email from Porsche. This is ridiculous they want me to throttle my $2500 charger to half speed and act like it's no big deal. I paid 1800 to have a 50A circuit installed because they recommended this. And now they want us to run it at 20A? That's like selling a 600 HP 911 and...

    Taycan WiFi...?

    What exactly does the Taycan Wifi SSID do for me if I don't subscribe to the HotSpot connectivity? I believe it will enable me to use OTA updates but then again I thought that was done when I am at home garage and connecting through my Porsche Wall charger (thus via Bluetooth would work). Is...

    Damaged rear seat...Not the dog's fault

    I took my female border collie on a quick food run tonight for the first time. She is normally very well trained and indoor dog and never done this before. Apparently she peed just a little in my car while driving and it was like sulphuric acid on the seats. Anybody have an idea what a new...

    Could not remove charger handle at remote station: GOOD TIP

    I was driving to Houston from Dallas with my wife and stopped off at an EA for a fill up. For some reason it did not recognize my car when I plugged in but attribute this to Porsche dealer totally resetting my PCM because all secondary screens would randomly go out. (After sitting overnight...

    Mobile Connect Charger: Software Update

    I came to my car this morning and noticed the MobileConnect Charger screen said that the software was updated. Is this software updated to the charger or to the car or both? How can I research what it does or how it affects me? My Internet radio still takes forever (1-5 minutes) to load! :(
