    initial thoughts on new Taycan RWD

    I took delivery yesterday. Because of the inability to order while the Taycan factories are shut down, I searched existing new inventory and found what I wanted including battery plus, but it didn't include adaptive air suspension that I also wanted. Before I took delivery, I admit I had...

    front hood unlatching

    I don't know how it's happening, but about 6 or 7 times, whether I'm getting out of the car or getting it, I get a warning that my front hood is unlatched. I don't think I pushed any button to make that happen. Any thoughts??

    another charging question

    I rarely drive more than 30 miles per day, and often far less than that. Question: is it okay to nightly put the charger on the car to top it off at 85%, or instead should I burn down the charge down to say 25% before putting it on the charger?

    only 1 key????

    My 2022 Taycan was delivered to me yesterday. I love the car, but only upon taking delivery and not before, my salesman casually said "oh because of the chip shortage we can only send you one key, but whenever Porsche sends us a second key we'll send it to you". I told the salesman I'm very...

    How to turn off fake engine sounds

    I know I’m in the minority here, but I really don’t want to hear those sounds. I’ve tried to figure out how to turn them off but don’t seem to be able. I clicked the three buttons on the Drive page, chose vehicle settings and didn’t see an option there to turn off sounds.

    Music app questions

    1. I figured out how to set Favorite stations in XM (long press and click on yes favorite when it pops up). However can someone tell me how to have the list default to favorites every time I restart the car and push the media icon? 2. is it possible to rearrange the order of channels in my...

    charging questions - new owner

    I think I correctly set up a charging schedule - charge to 85% between hours of 10 pm and 6 am. Questions: 1. My dealer had already preset the "minimum charge" to 85% but I think "minimum" in this context really means not to continue charging when it hits 85% which is what I want. Is that...

    Using iPhone as a key?

    Apple has enabled the iPhone and Apple Watch wallet to act as an electronic key for qualified vehicles. does anyone know if the Taycan qualifies? I know that when I was considering getting a BMW i4 M50, this feature would’ve been available.

    Porsche maps versus Google/Apple maps

    in terms of navigating a route (as opposed to simply how the map looks and what landmarks/features it shows), how would you compare the navigation skills of the Porsche app in terms of choosing the best route to either Apple Maps or Google Maps? I ask because if Apple or Google maps are...

    can I skip Apple Car Play?

    I'm getting my Taycan on Tuesday. I do not want Car Play operating in my car - I don't want it interfering with using XM (as others have reported) and I don't want it popping up asking to connect anytime I get in the car with my iPhone. Is the only way for Car Play to operate that I actually...

    Online software update

    I'm getting my new Taycan on Tuesday. I just saw this on the Porche Connect website after I logged in. Assuming that I deactivate Privacy Mode, will this update then automatically download? Or do I need to affirmatively initiate the download, and if so, how do I do that?

    one more Apple Music question

    I was able to access My Porsche webpage and (I think) successfully linked my existing Apple Music account with my Porsche Connect. Below is a screenshot. Question: when I get my car (on Tuesday), assuming I turn OFF privacy mode, will I automatically be able to access Apple Music from the list...

    Using iPhone via Bluetooth or Apple Car Play

    I’m on the fence if I’m going to use Apple Car Play. And I will only do so if I can disable texts and emails from being announced and displayed/spoken. But if I do use it, how does my phone work when I’ve already paired it with the car via Bluetooth? And bigger question - will I still be able...

    My Porsche App - how important is it

    The only utility I see with the My Porsche app is mainly to use it at charging stations away from my home. Other than that I'm not sure if/when I'd want to use it. I'd like to know how others use the My Porsche app on a regular basis.

    Apple Music questions

    1. Is my Apple Music account accessible only via Apple Car Play, or can I access it via the music icon in PCM? 2. if it can be accessed through PCM, how do I set that up, and specifically can my Apple Music playlists be designated as favorites- same as I can designate FM/XM channels as favorites?

    NEMA 14-50 outlet question

    I'm having my electrician come Monday to put a new 50 amp breaker in the panel that is dedicated to a NEMA 14-50 outlet that he'll install in the garage. And I'm doing this so that I can plug in my Mobile Charger Connect (the optional one I'm getting) to power my car. However I was thinking...

    using Sirius XM

    I'm looking for a video or instructions that shows how XM is implemented in PCM but can't find anything beyond very generic and not answering my question. Specifically, if I've got XM properly linked/activated in my Taycan, is there a screen for XM that shows ONLY my presets? The video I saw...
