Also, this is one of those perfect situations where an Over-the-air (OTA) software push for a basic 'permanent disable interior alarm' solution as a temporary software update until they find a full resolution should be leveraged by the company. The fact it hasn't yet is disappointing. At least...
Having to worry about your car freaking out and sending ear piercing false alarms (and in some cases having the double click not work) isn't an acceptable long term work around or fix. Having quirks of having to always set modes for things because they aren't saved in memory upon shut down, and...
This is by far the worst problem to deal with on this car. I'm all for dealing with quirks and bugs, but constantly worrying about my car randomly alarming is beyond annoying. I have another thread about this since it was happening every 15 to 30 minutes after getting my Taycan 3 weeks ago. It's...
Thank you. That pretty much solidifies that this is something I can retro since I didn't order from factory on that part. I was hoping I wasn't SOL. Definitely a Quality of Life thing that would be nice to add on now
I'm curious if anyone here knows whether power folding mirrors can be installed as a retrofit? I don't have it on my Taycan, but after having the car for two weeks it's definitely a nice to have feature I'd like to add on if realistic. I didn't think much of it initially, but my dedicated bay I...
I don't see how this is a permanent issue. Given the fact the car has the capability, it's not outside the realm of possibility that it can't be retroactively enabled once they get their collective 'stuff' together.
One final thing, I know for a fact that my dealer doesn't want to waste time doing these types of things for Taycan (or other porsche) owners. It's an annoyance to owners. This most definitely isn't 'let's get people through dealership doors'. My dealership was unbelievably apologetic that I had...
This is a bit more conspiracy than I think the reality warrants, to be fair.
Tesla is in hot water for OTA significant recalls mandated by the NHTSA. They had lawsuits in 2020, and again as recent as this month from the NHTSA.
This is likely Porsche following the NHTSA guidelines and...
This is old news. We've talked about it in the stop sale, as well as a handful of other threads. Also, this is at the behest of the NHTSA for a feature that's permitted outside of the US, so it's not as alarmist as it sounds.

It would need to be purchased/registered under a business entity, at which point you can Section 179 it (barring any discrepancies due to any unique accounting circumstances). I'd recommend checking with your CPA on any possible limitations tied to your S-Corp/LLC/whatever you register it under...
Definitely not a faulty sensor. There’s a bug in the interior monitor alarm. Trying to find the perfect way to work around it until the full fix has been the tough part.
I just got a call from my SA/Dealer. Software is in and available. I'm scheduled to bring my car back in tomorrow for a quick 1.5 hour push. I'm having other things done at the same time, so I'm grabbing a loaner and picking it up at the end of the day, but bottom line: Software fix is available...
Definitely. Thanks to that recommendation, I understand what the "Check if Interior Monitor alarm should be on when leaving vehicle " setting in the PCM is for now. I was leaving too soon after holding down the power button and didn't see it prompting me, which may have been why it was...
Mine happens inside my perfectly flat garage, with nobody around :)
It's also very loud because it's basically right under my bedroom. It's absolutely glorious when it happens in the middle of the night :CWL:
I completely understand and can relate. I do know that Porsche na is aware and from what my SA said they’ve passed instances of it onto them in order to aid in isolating the bug. I just want to figure out a definitive work around because this unfortunately isn’t a bug that can be easily...
Regarding turning it off in the PCM, I have been doing this since Saturday when my tech at the dealership explained it was the cause for my alarm going off on its own in my garage with no cause constantly :).
The problem I'm struggling with is that it keeps re-enabling itself either due to...
When I leave my car in a parking lot and lock it, I'm having a situation where it's automatically turning on "Interior Monitor Alarm" under Locking features in settings. This is an issue because if this is on, my car will randomly set off the alarm (talked about this in another thread and is...
I'm glad it was at least stipulated and made apparent in the contract. I agree that it would have been upsetting if this were something undisclosed. Glad you figured it out. Sounds like overall they state they won't share or use the information unless legally required. That plus really good...
Is this a lease option or a purchase/finance situation where this is the case? I can't imagine this would be permitted by GDPR in a situation where you own/finance the vehicle without you being notified. If it's a lease, I guess they could probably have told the dealer and opted to not tell the...
Had the car home from taking possession no less than an hour parked in the garage and got my first phantom car alarm. Deactivated the alarm and chalked it up to me doing something stupid or bumping the key or whatever. Set the key on a counter with my phone by itself and 15 minutes later the car...
