Oh jeez yeah that circle will have 0 WAF Especially since it is her primary car

So, around us, there are many tiny chipmunks and red squirrels. They get into small spaces and eat and poop there. Several years back, I did not catch that activity in time, and XC90 almost caught in flames as they started chewing on hi-voltage insulation. That was a pricey repair. Is anyone...

I have sport sound. I did not plan to order one, but it came with a car. I use it if there are people walking dogs on the road I drive or if there is a likelihood of deer. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Most dogs do not like it, and that keeps them from jumping in front of the...

What is clear to me is that the only way we can get some kind of control over our data is to have GDPR-like protections. CA started with CCPA but we need more states to join.

If one is that worried, there are analog cars to be had. EV (or most modern cars) is not the car you are getting if you are interested in privacy.

LOL I just got this screen when I logged into MyPorsche site today

Automakers have shareholders screaming for more and more revenue and margin. On one end, they are instituting recurring revenue BS like BMW with their monthly charge for heated seats. On other end they are collecting and selling our data. The genie is out. California is trying to stuff it back...

Oh, if I told you what kind of "anonymized" data you can buy legally from data brokers in the US... and how it can be reverse-engineered and you can be identified.

This is the one I got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WPW6BAE $20.

ODBII BT or wifi dongle is like $25 on Amazon. App is free (or $7). Read the codes and you will know what is likely an issue. At least you show up more educated at the dealer.

For those with the error, see how I solved it https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/which-sensors-may-cause-egress-warner-not-available-error.19167/

There is a thread with details on which sensors do what https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/egress-warner.7271/post-124055 In my case, all the sensors were working fine since every function I tested worked. Issue was that pile of errors sitting in ECU memory was causing error above on the...

UPDATE: cleared all the codes with that popular OBDII iOS app and $20 wireless dongle. Looks like while wrapping they don't disconnect the battery, which then causes like a hundred errors.

You are correct. The difference was ~$600. The wife said she wanted the car PPFed matte or her favorite color also matte. Vinyl is thicker (at least one we got). Thickness does make the detail work wee bit harder, but man was the result worth it. We will need to get wrap shop to redo window...

I get an "Egress Warner not available" warning every time I start the car. However, the lane change sensors seem to be fine, and while parking, everything is fine, too. Trying to see if I can figure this out myself before I have to carve out several hours of my busy days to go to the dealer. I...

I would reach out to the dealer and politely require them to make it right. You should not have been let out without those two items. Porsche is not your KIA. They tend to make things right and not complain. Now if they don't, you can get those compressors dime a dozen off ebay. I decided to...

Unlucky. Porsche holds (at least in the US) the top spot for initial quality and top spots for 3-year and 5-year. Take it to the dealer and have them take care of it. Also, a bit of advice: search the forum first :-) You can see if problem is common or not.

I have caught my wife staring from the window at her car multiple times. This woman never cared about cars :CWL: She looks for reasons to take a drive. It took something like 50 samples of purple from all those brands until she saw this color and sheen combo and her eyes lit up. Looks even...

Finding just the right vinyl material took a bit of time to get the purple and sheen my wife wanted. But here you go: KPMF Matte Purple Black Iridescent Vinyl Wrap | K75565

I got the car wrapped and LOVE it. Super attention to detail. One problem, though - I get this error every time I start the car - "Egress Warner not available" This shop has done Taycans before (including for the Porsche Dealer down the street). Wrap guy said "it goes away". Not seeing anything...
