    Sunglasses holder in place of grab handle

    Done this modification to nearly all of my Porsches. I bought a Volvo charcoal holder online, removed my grab handle & after a bit of head scratching as to how to fit it into the holes left over, it’s done. I think it looks pretty good and every inch OEM. It’s sprung & cushioned but does stay...

    prioritise porsche charging service

    Have seen this option in the Navigation settings and can’t for the life of me work out what it does. The description underneath it is pretty vague too. The Porsche good to know app must think it is actually a need to know app & I can’t be worthy. Can anyone shed any light please? Apologies if...

    New 150kw DC charging rolling out across the UK

    Then I read the following: Yet there’s another twist in this tale. It turns out that, in fact, because legislation means that all the 150kW chargers in the UK have super-modern 960V, they'll charge the Taycan at the full 150kW even if you haven’t added the optional DC on-board charging system...

    New 150kw DC charging rolling out across the UK

    Sorry to re-visit this but I’ve seen a new charger spring up on the M6 that’s a CCS 150kw (BP Crow Orchard - North West of Wigan) that I was hoping to use when restrictions allow and keep re-reading this comment and getting a tad confused: So if I understand this correctly, without the...

    Have any of you had a problem-free Taycan experience?

    Yes. 3 months into ownership. Just the odd little pcm glitch, but most of those have seemingly been ironed out with the latest update. If I’m honest most of my issues have revolved around car play & the way it interacts with the pcm. Car turns head & drives fantastically so really glad I...

    Apple Car Play disappeared

    If this happens again try hard resetting your iPhone. That should re-initiate the handshake protocol with the PCM. Quicker than waiting 14 mins too.

    Dealer Software Update

    My experience is different to those above. I see no difference in the PCM function. Wireless carplay can still take a while to pair & activate. I have had the CarPlay black screen since the update. The map where the Speedo lives still refuses to remember the satellite view when you turn the...

    Dealer Software Update

    Wow, this thread descended into a dark place quickly. I had my MY21 Turbo S upgraded on Wednesday. It was supposed to take 4 hours but the dealer needed it over night. No problem for me as I fortunately have two cars. They fixed a slight rattle in the door card and fitted a missing dust cap...

    WMA5/WMA6 updates spring 2021

    I can confirm the mute still has a mind if it’s own. Also the satellite view on the map in the dash still doesn’t remember it was turned on. The 3D parking view “hack” still works and everything else appears exactly as before. So I’ll make the assumption that whatever was updated was done...

    WMA5/WMA6 updates spring 2021

    The radio mute appears to work now, although it’s very early days!! The radio appears to mute properly now. Early days though :CWL:

    WMA5/WMA6 updates spring 2021

    MY21 Turbo S in tomorrow. I’ve been warned not all cars complete in a day & it’s possible they may need it for a day or even longer. So it looks like I’m slumming it in my 911. :)

    Wireless CarPlay - Battery Drain

    You’ve never had carplay black screen? I get it on average once in every 10 connects. Carplay is on but just a totally blank screen. Sometimes you tap on the screen and it springs to life sometimes not. To fix I either restart the phone & it asks me to pair again or sometimes I can turn...

    Dealer Software Update

    I got my letter today. MY21 Turbo S. I’ve heard it’s a very important update and it does indeed change the pronunciation of the word Taycan.

    How would you spec differently next time?

    I wish I hadn’t gone with the sports exhaust. In hindsight it has brought nothing to my build. All joking aside: Ioniser - is it on? Seat ventilation - Still winter in Blighty Passenger display - My passengers daren’t fiddle with it. 150w on-board DC - is there anywhere I can try it out in...

    UK - Data package option missing

    Actually fluked it. Login to my Porsche. Scroll to the bottom & look for “Porsche on the web” and expand the link. Select “Porsche Connect Store” and then “my products.” There is then a hyperlink to cancel the data service, amongst others. Wow. How hard do they make that!?
