    Sport Button

    Chassis setting follows drive mode but can then be adjusted manually. If you're in normal drive with normal chassis, switching to sport drive will also have sport chassis. If you're in normal with manually overridden sport plus chassis, it'll keep sport plus when switching drive to sport...

    Main Instrument Panel Black Screen of Death

    That's just a little tab to help you lift the plastic transport protection layer ?

    Sport Button

    It puts the drive mode in sport and chassis in sport. Sport chassis is a little firmer but doesn't lower automatically like sport plus. If you then tap the chassis button in the cluster once you get sport plus chassis.

    Why does my Apple Car Play always cut out when I drive past the Convention Center?

    Wireless CarPlay? It goes over WiFi, and WiFi is prone to interference. If the convention center has a really strong heavily used WiFi setup it could happen. Similar to why Bluetooth tends to cut out in airports, too many people using Bluetooth in the area causing congestion.

    How exactly do you activate Innodrive?

    Completely normal. The green lane lines show up above 37mph roughly for lane departure warning. Cruise control not needed. This means you get the angry frog noise and the car bouncing you back into the lane if you get too close to the edge. The steering wheel is active lane keep, which...

    Night time driving, cabin too bright!?

    It's all mostly Aptiv.

    MY21 - Wired Android Auto?

    The recall notice that's now online in My Porsche includes this: The PCM must be re-programmed with corrected software. Due to the related functional enhancement of the central computer, the driver's manual must also be replaced with an updated version. The fact that they're doing enough...

    How exactly do you activate Innodrive?

    InnoDrive doesn't do anything when cruise control is not engaged (except show you icons for upcoming curves/stop signs). Overall the only thing it really does over adaptive cruise control is slow down for curves/stop signs/intersections/roundabouts.

    Where is Individual Drive Mode?

    There are not a ton of settings to mess with. Recuperation has a fixed button on your steering wheel, sport mode exists on the lower middle display, you can run through three chassis mode with the chassis button on the instrument cluster, and I have my instrument cluster diamond button mapped to...

    MY21 - Wired Android Auto?

    There's a very solid chance it'll come with the recall software update that'll be applied this summer.

    Taycan 4 Cross Turismo goes automatically from drive into neutral at a traffic stop

    There's absolutely a fix for this in the form of updated internal charger software (yes, that is the cause). It's bulletin #2209. Call your dealer back and make them apply the update. In any case I wouldn't worry too much. It only happens at extremely low speeds / when stopped. It's obviously...

    Night time driving, cabin too bright!?

    Settings > Car > Light and Visibility > Interior lighting. That's an additional interior light setting under the Settings app, besides the ambient light setting in the Car app. That setting controls all ambient lighting (including the hidden LED at the top) AND sets the baseline brightness for...

    FYSA - FOD now available for MY2022

    Correct! I can add PIRM to mine now! Cool, thanks for the heads-up!

    ? PCM 6 Update Announcement [Update: Retrofit Being Explored For Existing Taycans]

    It will. Audi has been quietly doing the same for their MIB3 cars, MIB3 seems to be the key to finally making this possible on VW group cars.

    Range Extending Chip?

    I suspect for a Tesla it could help by making the accelerator stay closer to the coasting position more often, since coasting has far less losses than regen/acceleration. The Taycan, with the default neutral position already being perfect coasting, would not benefit. Even then, it's just a...

    New recall? Vehicle Display Malfunction/FMVSS 111

    This does actually sound like good news, especially the note about Porsche planning to provide a software update to bring all cars on par with the late February 2022-onwards produced cars. I'm looking forward to it!

    Park assist with surround view ?

    I'm also quite impressed with the self-parking stuff. I only use it for parallel parking, but for those it's similar in speed to when I do it myself, but it tends to be more confident and more accurate.

    Range Extending Chip?

    There's no chance this does anything other than slightly reduce throttle at certain times. How is it going to 'balance other electrical systems' when all it does is change the output of the accelerator pedal sensor?

    Buying a Taycan RWD with too many options. Am I making a mistake?

    My RWD Taycan, built January 2022 ended up at $110k before tax, and that's before the MY2023 price hikes. My thoughts: - Standard interior is surprisingly nice, I don't see a reason to go full leather - Sport chrono is unnecessary, you get a sport button on the center screen instead if you...

    PCM Problems

    Touch with two fingers next to each other in the top right corner of the main display. That reboots into the engineer menu. From that menu, just select 'reboot to normal mode', confirm it, and wait for the system to reboot. That's the only way to actually fully reboot the PCM without messing...
