    Cell-signal boost in 2025 Taycan?

    It’s a mystery how to “force” WiFi calling on the iPhone. Here is what I have set up in case it’s helpful. 1. WiFi calling and prefer WiFi while roaming both turned on (in Cellular settings) 2. WiFi Assist turned off (in Cellular settings) I’ve been more focused on data (ie for google maps)...

    Cell-signal boost in 2025 Taycan?

    This is working well for me in a 2025 with sound/heat isolating windows. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/posts/416769/

    2020 T4s —> 2025 T4S. Lovin it!

    A quick update on my original post. - PAR is fantastic. In my 2020 I mostly drove in Normal drive mode with sport suspension setting. PAR feels about the same except that normal road bumps are isolated and the car stays even more flat in the corners. For a winding road I still prefer sport...

    Using the wifi hotspot while also using apple CarPlay

    Quick update - I've driven about 400 miles since setting this up and this configuration using the car's hotspot is working great. I tried it in a poor coverage area yesterday and it did exactly what I needed - I had a good enough signal via the hotspot for google maps / CarPlay to generate a...

    Using the wifi hotspot while also using apple CarPlay

    @Genau and @tophamn - Yes, the built in repeater would have been an option but they removed that in 2021 or 2022. My 2020 had both a repeater and wireless charging but the wireless charging was not really useful because it overheated the phone. In the 2025 (maybe added before 2025) there is a...

    Porsche mobile charger plus - What do the designations 50% and 100% percent relate to?

    Here are the chargers that seem to be well regarded. There are surely more and you can search the forum to find the tradeoffs but these seem to be the most commonly used. YMMV 1. Tesla Universal (https://shop.tesla.com/product/universal-wall-connector) 2. Wallbox Pulsar Plus...

    Porsche mobile charger plus - What do the designations 50% and 100% percent relate to?

    Good luck. The Porsche chargers have been a disaster. I suffered through it with my 2020, upgraded to a chargepoint home flex and didn’t even open the Porsche charger that came with my 2025. There are lots of good low cost options that don’t have the hassle and problems of the Porsche...

    I specifically went through two toll booths in NH on the Everett Turnpike to see if my EZPass is recognized and it was.

    2020 T4s —> 2025 T4S. Lovin it!

    I put the "EZPass" toll transceiver in the black dot area of the front windshield and have been through 5 toll plaza/readers with no issues. It's a little tight to fit in that section but it fit and is working fine for me. Here are the instructions from the manual. Note that it has to go in...

    Using the wifi hotspot while also using apple CarPlay

    @obiwan Yes, it is working pretty well. It's only been a few days so take this with a grain of salt but so far so good. I have the 5g hotspot set up to auto connect in my iPhone. I had a little trouble one time where the wifi (the 5g) connected but I wasn't getting service through the hotspot...

    Using the wifi hotspot while also using apple CarPlay

    I recently moved from a 2020 T4S to a 2025 T4S that has noise / thermal isolation glass. I like the more quiet ride but like others, have found that cellular reception is impacted. My 2020 did not have noise / thermal isolation glass so I'm really familiar with cell coverage in the areas I...

    DC Charging at Home

    The owners manual says that charging regularly with DC under 50kw is fine.

    DC Charging at Home

    That’s really cool! Thanks for sharing. There’s really nothing else like it that I’ve seen that delivers 75 miles per hour from a home charger.

    2020 T4s —> 2025 T4S. Lovin it!

    I drove about 200 miles today and will add two comments 1. Push to pass is kind of cool. I used it a few times on highway on-ramps as I merged into traffic. The car is so quick it’s not really necessary but was nice. 2. The noise / thermal glass really impacts cell reception. In strong...

    Well I did hit that today too. But I was referring to 140 north. The lane shift area is the bridge at the 24 / 140 interchange. What a mess and it’s been that way for 2 years. Argh.

    Leather is certainly classic and always feels great. I would have preferred leather but the Race Tex wheel is growing on me. It will be nice in the winter.

    My 2020 had the passive antenna connection in the center box but the box wasn’t usable because the phone over heated. The 2025 does not have the passive antenna but does have a fan to prevent overheating. Would be nice to have both!

    CarPlay question

    No, CarPlay maps only display on the PCM center console. Only the Porsche nav maps and directional arrows display in the HUD and instrument display.

    Didn't know that was a thing. With the cruddy roads we have, in the 400 miles of driving I've done so far, I've unfortunately already driven 60mph"ish" on a recently grooved highway road (as they prep to repave), on a highway section with lane shifts with uneven pavement (a bridge construction...

    Here are a few from the ceramic coating detailer. It's been raining non-stop here so I really don't have any great ones outside yet lol.
