    Auto seat heating when turning the car on

    After over 2 years with my Taycan, I still see 'random' fluctuations in the settings. My central map will reset a couple times a month. Radio settings will change every few months, as will passenger screen and main screen nav settings. It's the best car I've ever had, but it would be nice if...

    Taycan get aux audio from usb-c?

    I have Burmester and used the usb-c option initially and of course the sound was terrific. I switched a couple months ago to Apple lossless because I played a number of pieces on both Apple and usb-c and could not tell the difference. My hearing is not the best, so I'm sure there are others...

    Instrument cluster nav map won't stay on 'North Up' setting

    STILL having this problem. It appears to be completely random, but once a week or so I have to reset my map settings to get 'north up' and 'satellite view'. Somebody should be flogged about the head and shoulders...:punch:

    Backup Camera Quality to Improve?

    Ok, let's first of all understand that this is not a minor problem. Ambient lighting, seat heating, frunk gesture opening, intermittent comfort access, poor cellphone reception, non-functioning EA stations, these are all minor issues. Having a crap rearview camera in a car with some of the...

    Backup Camera Quality to Improve?

    OK, by that logic, the brakes stop a car, and that is their main purpose, so why complain about the feel or the modulation? and a car goes forward when you press on the gas pedal so let's not complain about response or acceleration :rolleyes: The car is amazing, but the reality is the backup...

    Backup Camera Quality to Improve?

    Here is just one comparison, my 2020 Taycan Turbo S and my wife's 2018 Mercedes GLE 350. The field of view, distortion and resolution are all vastly superior on the Mercedes. Again, I can't understand people who think that not being able to see as well as other cars 'doesn't materially impact...

    Backup Camera Quality to Improve?

    The backup camera in the Taycan sucks. Period. It really isn't a point up for debate IMO, because you can simply compare it to most other cars, and even my F150 truck, and the resolution is terrible. I'll post some comparison pics later, but I don't understand the folks that are saying...

    Apple Music Announces Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos

    I played a number of 'lossless' files that were streaming via Apple Music. The files cannot be transmitted via Bluetooth, but CarPlay evidently uses WiFi to communicate, as all files played with phone bluetooth off. I haven't researched this at all, so any information is welcome.

    Whats your favourite dash layout ?

    If you have the Map showing, use the right steering wheel button to select the center gage cluster, then use the roller to scroll through the selections, you should see a number of selections, including 'north up', 'satellite view' and 'night view'. I chose 'satellite view' and 'night view' and...

    Is it safe to use the Connect app post-update?

    This has been covered in another thread: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-12v-drain-issues-caught-in-the-act.3729/page-4#post-51789 What you're probably referring to is the Porsche Home Electronic Monitor (PHEM) which is not available in the US. I was told my PLC was...

    Apple vs Android

    You can do both! I did that on my recent long trip, and you can have the PIRM running with Waze in the background so you can get the alerts.

    Apple vs Android

    Whether it's Android or Apple, EVERYONE should be using CarPlay. It's wireless with the update, and I have Waze come up every time, along with Audible books that I listen to, messages I can check, and my calendar appointments - all on the central screen. Waze will tell you about potholes...

    Same here! My wife is German, so I thought she was just messing with me...ha ha.

    Whats your favourite dash layout ?

    Here's the link to the remote Escort Max Ci 360: https://www.escortradar.com/products/max-ci-360 The shop is Eclipse and I checked to make sure it's ok to contact them - they can recommend a shop in your area. Rick at: [email protected] The brain is under the dash and the radar receiver is...

    Whats your favourite dash layout ?

    It's a remote Escort 360 ci max with display custom mounted in the mirror. The control panel is obscured by the steering wheel, but is about the size of a flash drive and located just to the left of the gear selector. Black/dark silver with blue lighting to match the ambient.

    Apple car play ?

    Waze is amazing - warnings of objects in road and police are worth $$$'s, and it will warn you about traffic jams etc. as well. I've got it setup so it always goes to Waze on the central display automatically and that works pretty much flawlessly. Sometimes I do need to unlock my phone, but...

    Carplay Tidal

    Yes, I used DRMARE software to convert the Tidal files to FLAC. It works great, but takes some time since the song needs to play in real time.
