    New Apple CarPlay in iOS 16.

    Certainly a mixed reception to this news. I use CarPlay for Waze in the background. Beauty is it can be turned off and on at will. What will be the game changer for me is that, finally, we’ll have one system controlling the media instead of two vying for control, like power crazy dictators...

    Porsche connect - can’t preheat or precool

    Mines stopped pre-heating too. None of the timers work and trying to do it via the app yields an error message. Been -2 most mornings so I’ve been scraping windows. Grrr!!

    Sunglasses holder in place of grab handle

    Its the drivers side you put it in. By the same rationale why would the driver need a grab handle?

    Sunglasses holder in place of grab handle

    Purely a matter of choice. If you put them in the centre console I assume you’ll leave them in the case? Our option is a case strapped to the ceiling. Something I’ve had on other cars and I consider to be a brilliantly simple idea. For me it was worth the hassle of hybridising the handle and...

    Thanks for sharing, what is, a very constructive addition to this post.

    Destination charging - list of locations or an app?

    Apologies if this has been posted before, but where does everyone turn to find out where you can get a destination charge. I’m finding the information sketchy at best. I’m based in the U.K. thanks.

    Western Europe Taycan road-trip report

    This is superb. Thanks. I’m also interested in the kit you took (expertly detailed in this excellent thread). Anything out of all of it you thought was a must and anything you wouldn’t take again doing a similar trip? Lastly, any issues using the Tesla destination chargers that you haven’t...

    Western Europe Taycan road-trip report

    Unreal thread. Excellent write up, informative and awe inspiring in equal measures. Pictures were awesome and it looked like you had a great trip. I’d never really considered destination charging as a viable option (I couldn’t spec the 22kwh onboard charger) but this has made me think twice...

    Charging at USA Dealers?

    I charged at the experience centre at Silverstone last week and nothing’s appeared in my charging history in the app (yet). It couldn’t possibly be free, could it?

    Help! I accidentally liked the PCM!

    I don’t hate the PCM but find it frustrating. You listen to the car radio then CarPlay initiates wirelessly and turns the radio off. you get a Waze alert and the radio turns back on (my 991.2 does this too). Also doesn’t like being interrupted by telephone calls neither and it and the radio...

    ABRP or PIRM?

    Just want to thank everyone for the feedback. It’s pretty much as I thought. So that is reassuring. It’s quite the departure from what I’m used to but I do enjoy the planning & hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy the journey just as much. PlugShare was a good shout too. I like the fact it’s based...

    Only getting maximum 20kW at 50kW charging stations suddenly

    I’m new to this so forgive me if this is a dumb suggestion, but try setting the charger as the destination in your Nav. I believe this will activate the battery preheat function and you should charge faster. It worked for me when I charged at an ionity station last weekend. My batteries were a...

    ABRP or PIRM?

    Hitting Silverstone next weekend for the British GP and travelling the 215 miles from the North East to Milton Keynes, where I’m based for the weekend. Due to the various lockdowns I’ve not travelled very far in my Taycan Turbo S up to now and only experienced my first ever Ionity charge last...

    Waze via Car Play and Porsche Navigation

    I run it like this too. HUD will only display the PCM Nav arrows so I use that to Navigate with and then leave CarPlay on and use CarPlay Home Screen with the shrunken map for hazards (& police). I then choose the PCM map view in the instrument binnacle. Best of both worlds if you ask me...

    Siri glitching & not reading whole sentences.

    That is why I did some testing to prove that it was the phone and not the PCM. Please try my suggested work around. Appears to be temporarily working for me. :please:

    Siri glitching & not reading whole sentences.

    Issue appears to point to iOS14.5.1 Siri behaves this way even when not connected to the car. It took me a while to realise this. What I’ve found to work is goto settings/Siri & Search & slide off “Hey Siri” Power the phone off & on then slide “Hey Siri” back on. Not sure if this is a...

    Sheeme150 just posted "The PAINS of Living with an EV! My WORST Experience Yet"

    I don’t understand all the anger aimed at him. I bought my first EV 6 months ago and have never charged it out in the wild due to lockdown restrictions. I have several trips planned & seeing some of the issues he experienced terrifies me. Yes the U.K. has an under developed EV infrastructure...

    Prevent switching to CarPlay audio at start

    Just go into device manager and deselect car play - you’ll have to wait for it to connect first though. Then, when you turn the car off, it will remember CarPlay wasn’t selected. When you want CarPlay back on just do the reverse. It can be re-activated whilst driving. Pretty drastic solution I...

    Siri glitching & not reading whole sentences.

    Anyone else experienced Siri unable to read out whole messages in Apple CarPlay? This happens with text messages and WhatsApp messages. It also doesn’t like reading back my replies and then hangs, which is very annoying. I also often get half a reply to any question I may ask, like “what is the...
