I wanted to spec Mood Modes because I have the passenger display, but I missed the option before my order freeze date.

Does anyone know how likely it is that a Porsche dealer can activate Mood Modes after delivery? It seems like it is a software only activation (no hardware?) or is it only possible if the option was ordered from the factory?

Has anyone checked with their local dealer about the options that can be added after delivery?

The mood mode was included in my premium package . I could be mistaken but didn’t see it as separate option. I would definitely ask about it.

Some of the cars functionality can be see as software programs in the storage manager. From recollection, looks different to Macan but may be wrong. So yes, there might be an option to purchase some of the functionality at a later point. Will have a look tomorrow if mood modes are a software program. My best guess, they may introduce some new functionality like dash cam to generate some aftersales revenue.

Passenger screen. Does anyone has experience with Macan EV MY 26? Seems like functionality is limited to PCM, Apple car play doesn't seem to extend to passenger screen. Girls love to be the DJ and I wanted to avoid them touching my screen. There are now apps like Amazon music etc but they would run on car data allowance. Any ideas?
