MyPorsche app updated

[ciaranob]

Same. If not using the app – it appears to update approximately every six hours - i.e. four times a day.

In reality the mechanism that iOS uses is pretty complex and tries to learn from user behaviours – which may be why people are having different experiences.

Haven’t used the app since last night and can see unchanged for 12 hours now and counting:

You left your car unlocked all night ??

My car is at the airport, the widget hasn’t updated for 16 hours and counting, that was the last time I looked at the app. I’m going to try and leave it alone and see if it does update.

No change in battery % since Saturday, only the range changes slightly up and down presumably because of ambient temperature.

My widget did update of its own accord after about 18 hours.

Stored in a secure garage behind a secure driveway gate - and yes

Many of us here in the US park our cars in our garages when not in use and we typically don't lock them when they are in there.

Does the update provide homelink functions? Id love to use a convenient CarPlay button for opening the garage rather than consume a diamond button

My observation regarding the updates is that it happens whenever CarPlay is active regardless of you using the app. That makes sense. And likely has the latest data especially if you have wireless CarPlay active.

so, whenever I leave the car the widget will reflect the current state. Perhaps it also does another check if it’s been over six hours since using the car, like others have reported, I have not noticed that yet.

Not just in the US, common in Germany as well. I think the sentiment is that if someone breaks into your garage, that already constitutes a crime so massive that the car is almost collateral (unless you own a million dollars hypercar or something like that).

Plus, my understanding was that being able to get into the car is pretty far from being able to start it nowadays, maybe I’m naive.

That's politely saying "we'll shoot you/anyone who trespasses".

(This would have been funnier with the Grand Tour clip on stealing from pickup trucks - E1 S10 tent scene from Nashville. Can't find it on a quick search.)

There are practically no guns in Germany, so, no…

My bad, I should've quoted @Hirschaj but seeing how he's based in TX, that may have been too much on the nose.

that’s why so many cars are stolen in the home invasion movies I have seen

We live on a small island and especially in London you don’t really get garages (or much of a garden for that matter!).

I have a two car garage and live in one of the most secure neighborhoods in DC (with gates, guards, etc . . .). I would not dream of leaving my car unlocked ever, even in the garage. There is ZERO advantage for leaving unlocked. Also, we have, on occasion, had people rifle through unlocked cars parked in the driveways (not mine obviously).

 

[ciaranob]

Count find epic of my driveway gate closed(see it behind car in 2nd pic) but it's 7ft tall and bolts at night with garage all locked up Very secure neighborhood to boot.

Interior - old pic M4 Vert days!

PS: Did update the signs a while back !

 

[Gnasher]

So my app has not updated in a day now. I’ve done the usual reboot and restart of phone but no dice.

Have reported to Porsche might get a reply in a week. Car is charging but doesn’t show anywhere and only way i will know it’s charged is to go out to the car. Frustrating!
