    Is there a schematic available to show where cameras and sensors are located?

    I drove last night in a dark parking lot that was uneven (across two lots) and ended up slamming the car on the pavement just behind the front wheel. I carefully backed the car out and onto the level I was on before driving off the ledge. I did not see any visible damage, but I'm sure the...

    Is your Taycan a "Lemon"

    I am very happy with my car and feel bad about the number of complaints posted here. I think its worth taking the time to put matters in perspective with a poll since those happy with their vehicle are less likely to complain. And I'd be interested in results so I know what to advise future...

    Discoloration of plastic moulding - are other owners seeing this?

    I've had my vehicle since February - it spends most of its time in a garage, and when I saw these blemishes I thought maybe I touched them with sunscreen on my palms, however the locations are near the bottom of the car and not a place I'd touch. I hit the spots with Armor All but the blemishes...

    Why can't my car initiate Spotify?

    OK I'll admit this does not rank the biggest issue some have experienced, but I tried to launch Spotify while driving by saying "Hey Porsche - Play Spotify" so I would not have to be looking and pushing screen icons while driving. She replied "Sorry, you need to link Spotify to your account,"...

    How to launch Apple podcasts? My system not showing QR code

    Anyone had success getting this working? I am getting an error when trying to register. I don't need to pay for Apple News do I? It says the podcasts are free….. On top of the aggravation trying to launch, i am getting PCM Notifications frequently reminding me to register. I knew my car was...

    How have you configured PCM, 3 tubes, and joker buttons?

    Here's a fun assignment for you….now that I've had my Taycan several months, and survived the ANA6 uPdate, I am looking to dial in the best configuration and to, above all, STOP fidgeting with all the options. I have two priorities: to replace the glitchy weather widget on PCM with something...

    San Diego to Monterey 8/7-9

    It's time, I'm ready (I think) to make the trip north on the coast highway, through Big Sur, to Monterey. Overnights planned in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Monterey. Not sure it is do-able yet, but would drive back from Monterey in one day. I have the RWD and PB+. Did a quick consult...

    Porsche Class Action Settlement for ICE Owners

    I just got an email from [email protected] on account of my 911 and wonder if others have received as well. I haven't quite digested the whole thing but I believe it pertains to the VW scandal with cars not meeting emission requirements (and being outfitted to cheat the...

    ANA6 recall uPdate Update

    For those of you anticipating this update, here is an update: I dropped my car at 8AM this morning, was told "we did one of these yesterday and it took all day." No problem, I was expecting to hear that. At just before noon, SA calls and says "its a 4-step process and the first step did not...

    Infotainment failure preceded by schizophrenic behavior (is there a doctor in the house?)

    Have been trying to install this update for past couple days. She doesn't want to go through with it. She offers, then declines. She's like a seductress. I don't know what I am missing, and I'm a bit frustrated. I think she is in the garage laughing at me. Just prior to this, I went to...

    The Iconic 911 vs The (future-iconic) Taycan

    The Porsche magazine Christophorus (#400), shows a red 356 and neptune blue Taycan on the cover (like mine!), as if the Taycan is destined for iconic status just like its predecessors. The fact its so hard to obtain a Taycan today doesn't hurt that potential. I've seen many 911 owners struggle...

    What is secret to getting "lift" saved and "lowered" restored?

    I have been playing with this for a couple months now and it seems either I am doing something wrong or its just fussy. As I approach an intersection i tap the car icon so the car will "lift." It handles that part fine. Then it asks if I want it to "save" that location. And I say "confirm."...

    Can someone decode this map for me please?

    I'm still torn between Siri & Apple Maps (dependable - works most every time) and Hey Porsche/PCM (she just doesn't seem to "get me" - but when it works its more feature rich). In that vein, I have this map which I don't get. There are colors, boxes and ratios that make no sense to me. On my...

    The argument for RAS

    I've been on some other threads advising future owners on the benefits of Rear Axle Steering (and seeing pushback from others), so I thought I'd summarize here all the reasons its a game changer for me. I live in SoCal where our roads are probably much wider than in Europe so take this advice...

    First 1000 miles - prioritization of features for buyers & some remaining mysteries for owners

    Now that I’ve hit 1000 miles on the car, I’ve decided to offer my opinion on the features and purchased specs of my RWD Taycan, along with some mysteries yet to solve for those that might have more experience. I’ll start with the mysteries, then proceed to prioritize the features that I value...

    Minor problem solved - hope this helps others that keep misplacing key

    I'd like to give back to this awesome community with this very minor hack. This only applies if you hate to carry the key in your pocket. I was always either losing it in the car (cup holder, side storage, seats etc) and almost always leaving the car forgetting the key, only having to return...

    Please explain this mystery in PCM behavior

    See pic. I've not had too many major glitches with the PCM. Occasionally CarPlay doesn't activate, that's about it. But I've noticed the phone icon in the upper right corner is almost always showing a diagonal line, and I'm unable to connect the phone manually via bluetooth. There HAVE been...

    Telsa Tap-Mini, worth it?

    Wondering if anyone has obtained this device for accessing Tesla networks and if it is worth it. Did you get a 50 or 60 amp? Please specify and thanks for sharing.

    My Taycan is confused between KM and miles. Which is it?

    Noticed this on my two screens today, the main dash shows 130 miles to empty, but the battery shows 130 KM. Both cannot be right, right? How do I fix it?

    PCM Dashboard stopped broadcasting

    Anybody else experience this? I would hate to have to schedule service for this - I just finally got the damn car! Basically, I can still program the 3 tubes on main display but the PCM dash to the right just keeps blinking PORSCHE which means I cannot use navigation, Apple Car Play or any...
