Porsche said the 12v is working fine. They blamed my Fitcamx, but I don’t think that’s the reason because many people have used it without issue, including me for 6 months.
I did notice that my PCM was constantly waking during the night and turning on my dash cam. After Porsche did the WNA5...
I didn’t charge my car to 100% and my 12v drained. I feel it is somehow related to changing charging settings using the app. I had just done this, and two hours later the car went dead.
My SC just texted me:
“I brought this up with our team lead, it looks like it's an on board charger software malfunction where it can trigger a failsafe mechanism resulting in the vehicle shifting into P or N at stop or below 5 kmh. There's a sofeware update available for that. Not related to...
I’m a new victim. 22 Taycan 4S delivered Nov 2021.
was at a stop light and it switched to Park. Not knowing, I stepped on the accelerator and the car didn’t move. Freaky.
I just had the WNA5 update done three days ago. Hope it’s not related.
The problem is the installation which is super expensive, I believe. You need to add a bunch of speakers and pull apart your car. I don't know if it would be worth it.
My entire car is wrapped, and I've wrapped almost all of my cars. So I do have good knowledge of this stuff (not that others don't).
The mirror looks right. My installer wrapped all the way around, even the inside edge, but he warned me that he has to stretch the film a lot and it may lift...
Thanks C. When did you get your Fitcamx and install it?
Also, do you mind sending me the same screenshot of your settings so I can compare your firmware version and settings? Again, weird that my chrono clock was lit before my 12v went dead, and now it is always dark.
Anyway, I will monitor...
Thanks C. Let me go through your possibilities above and share my Fitcamx settings to see if something is wrong. They are checking my firmware version right now.
1) I'm not opening the app in the middle of the night.
2) My car key is in my kitchen which is more than 30 feet away from my...
And screenshot below from Fitcamx. No light or motion sensor. Their explanation makes sense that the Porsche wakes up intermittently for some reason and hence powers the Fitcamx which starts recording. But why does the car wake up intermittently?
Excuse my lengthy post. But here goes.
Hey C. Thank you for your lengthy response and helping me get to the bottom of this. I guess it's just disconcerting that I don't know the reason for my 12v death issue. Keep in mind that I also have had zero issues with my Fitcamx since I installed it...
So my 12v just died after using the Fitcamx since last November 2021. I've never had issues.
So I pulled out the SD card, and apparently the cam keeps recording throughout the night. See time stamps below.
I'm not entirely clear if the cam was recording throughout the night in the first 5...
Sorry, I thought your title was "Bob". I read it wrong. I meant to message you.
They saw the cam installed on their own. I never mentioned it on purpose.
Well, they're blaming it on the cam so I don't know if I should remove it. But if I get into an accident, there won't be any evidence. I've...
Hey Bob. So my car was totally bricked yesterday morning because my 12v died. Couldn't open the doors or anything. My car is only 6 months old with 3400km. I was able to jump start the car, and I brought it over to Porsche, and they now said my car reported no errors with the 12v and are saying...
My 12v also wouldn't start today. I jump started the 12v with my ICE car. Car is charging now.
Problem is the Porsche app no longer connects with the car.
