    Alarm fob battery

    Morning Anyone know how to open up the alarm fob to change the battery. It is somewhat clam like and i don't really want to bust it/cut one of my fingers off! You tube has plenty of instruction on the key fob and that's different. Cheers edit. Done it with a stanley knife. I'd delete the...

    Scratched my windscreen

    First day this year where i've needed to scrape/de-ice the windscreen. I can only imagine there was a tiny bit of grit on the scraper. Long story short i seem to now have quite a few vertical scratches on my windscreen. I'm sure they are pretty superficial and only noticed them when driving...

App seems to accept my usual schedule and tells me car will start charging after midnight and be ready for start time etc. However car doesn’t start charging and seems to be hanging at initialising charge (grey battery etc). it...

    Vehicle limiting charging speed

    Charging today at a newly installed Osprey station. It worked first time using the porsche charge card, so that was a plus. 8 fast chargers with only one other being used. It said it had a maximum of 300 kw for an 800v car on the display screen (150 kw for 400v), which is a layer of...

    Ovo energy charge anytime users

    Morning. I have my ovo charge anytime app set to 85% by 7am. Does anyone else using ovo get random charging timers set up in the Porsche app/ pcm? Mine seems to get charge to 100% in around 2 days time at odd times of the day. I have tried deleting them, but this seems to drop enode as a...

    UK Service interval

    Evening. What's the service interval for a CT4S? I thought it was 2 years or 20k miles. My app agrees with the 2 years bit, but wants me to service it in less than 2k which would be 18,500 miles.... 🤷‍♂️

    Anyone have a Ghost 2 immobiliser? Valet mode question for you.

    I've just realised i need to leave the car at the airport, and it will be valet parked once i drop it off - and stored somewhere away from the terminal. I know how to enter valet mode on the car, but I'm wondering if anyone knows the trigger that takes it out of valet mode as the manual/you...

    Stupid question about locking the car!

    1. If i'm locking the car with the dog inside, I want the internal sensors off. I've tried a variety of key fob button presses to achieve this, but always seems to go off! So how do you do it? 2. Double - deadlocking the car (i.e. you can't open from inside if you smashed a window or...

    App frozen / UK

    Anyone else having problems with their app updating/linking to the car? Mine seems stuck on Wednesday 7th June. I've tried reinstalling the App, which didn't help and the car is parked where it normally is - strong mobile area. I know it's sometimes the porsche servers, but been quite a while...

    Air conditioning - Is it powerful enough?

    Now it has finally warmed up in the UK (about 25c today), Ive noticed the car has really struggled to cool the interior. Aircon definitely isn't in eco mode. Grey car, black seats, tinted windows, pan roof. I'm sure most of the Texan's and Californians on here would view these temperatures as...

    New Tyres / Tyre fitters UK.

    I just been reading this thread: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/new-porsche-taycan-jack-pads-available.7750/page-3#post-239707 I'm pretty sure none of the tyre shops i've used will ever do anything other than stick a trolley jack under the car and/or put the car up on a lift without...

    3 Random questions

    1. Anyone else had problems with Porsche Vehicle Tracking system (or other connect systems) not renewing (payment taken) and being stuck in 'being activated' limbo? 2.

    Hi I've just had my car back from having it's heater fixed and they also did 2 campaigns - WNK7 and WNV0. WNK7 is to do with the antenna i believe, not sure about the other one.

    Arrival SOC

    Hi, Is there a way to set an arrival state of charge for a route? The route planner on the app always seems to want me to charge up on the way for 3 or 4 minutes and arrive at destination with 15% or similar in the tank. I can't see anywhere to set a higher arrival SOC on the app. Is there...
