Has anybody on here with a Coupe had a dealer fit the Porsche dashcams. My dealer is still waiting for the necessary fitment details from HQ - there are elements of the headlining they won’t touch until they receive the official Porsche fitting instructions. My dealer is getting frustrated (as...
I was fitting a cargo net and for the first time opened the below floor storage in the rear boot. I found this in a storage bag - I have no idea what it's for. I'm sure someone will know - it looks expensive.
On the Macan forum someone has just confirmed that the Apple Music App is now available for downloading. They are in the US, can anyone in the UK confirm it is now available - it wasn’t previously due to licence restrictions. At the moment I am using the native Spotify App but also paying for...
In the 17 months I had my Macan I never received any map updates OTA. I think the dealer installed one as part of the major system update. On collection day my Cayenne installed a map update OTA during handover.
As the Macan never received any OTA updates, I thought it may be useful if there...
For those of you who have a Porsche / Vodafone tracker and had one previously say in the Macan, you should be aware of a change in the capability. If you didn’t have the tracker fob in car with the previous tracker fitted, you received a text asking if it was a false alarm, if you didn’t respond...
My car has Hankook ION EVO SUV tyres. The reviews of them say they are quiet and efficient - what tyres came with other cars ? I would be interested to know as the standard fit on my Macan 4S were Bridgestone and they were very noisy and harsh so I put on Pirelli All Seasons - far quieter.
Have any of you lucky initial owners had any warnings from the Driver Monitoring. I ask as the system in my Lexus drove me absolutely crazy and couldn’t be turned off. It can be turned off in Cayenne but I hoping it isn’t too sensitive - in the Lexus it came up with warning and sound even if you...
Saw these articles about today’s announcement of Porsche wanting to move production of all Cayennes back to Leipzig. There is no timescale and the German labour force needs to agree a cut in pay for it to happen. VW are looking to shed 100,000 jobs.
That‘ll keep up morale in Bratislava ...
There is an article in this weeks Autocar about BYD launching flash chargers in the UK from next year. The interesting thing is most BYD cars won’t be able to take advantage of it. I wonder if hooking up a Cayenne would do any long term damage to the battery - I would think not as the car will...
I’ve just noticed that it is recommended that the Cayenne’s HV battery should be recalibrated every 4,000 miles. Perhaps they have introduced this as a result of the different battery in the Cayenne. The Macan manual makes no mention, but the forum is full of the need to do it to rectify issues...
On a different thread some time ago I said that my current insurer (Admiral) declined to insure the Coupe as it was “too new”. I have a fairly competitive quote from Porsche which I’ll probably stick with (cover is far more extensive). I think this is the explanation and UK owners may find this...
I’ve just received my invite to the Porsche Driving Experience.
I mention this as it seems a bit unusual as I haven’t paid for the car - just the deposit. I got the invite for buying the ‘Macan’ after I had paid and was an owner.
Has anyone else received an invite yet ?
Porsche announced its new approach to software - starting with the Cayenne electric. The Board Director that oversaw it has been demoted so not a good look ! Some of the Macan EV’s had various software issues, although not so much infotainment but system issues...
I just noticed that the Good To Know site has the online manual for the Electric. Hadn’t seen this before.

Sorry for a dumb question but I can’t find any videos showing this - Do you have to remove the cup holders to store bits and pieces in the central console or is there much room beneath the cup holders when they are in the higher setting
I’m coming from the Macan EV and there is a very deep...
