I designed and built a console mount for the Taycan, a slide in holder for my phone (which automatically connects power when slid in), and a discrete FULL power (3A) tap to charge/power the phone directly from a switched fuse box circuit. See HERE if you want the 3D console clamp print files...
It appears that there is enough clearance to accept the back edge of the lid if the hinge simply permitted it. You wouldn't need a "double-decker" hinge in any case. Just one with an offset...
I'm not worried about voiding my warranty if it increases the usability of my car. Its not like...
Its a wonder they didn't add some BS electrical button on the panel to open/close the console cover. They did this needlessly for the vents for cripes sake...why not the console cover? Where does Porsche draw the line between "Needless functionality" and "No functionality at all"?
Open fully...
For me, this only appears to be the case if I turn Stability Control OFF. I can't get a decent drift in the snow unless I do this. I won't say the car is "too intrusive" with stability enabled (as that is what it is for). I find the car "dead" stable with the Stability Control ON. I'm just...
No, you are correct...
I was initially hoping I could 3D Print something (and maybe add some fuzzy Velcro) to act as a "friction pinch" on the slider arm. I was kinda thinking "I bet they can't fully open the lid because there is not enough room for the slider to rotate out of the way". But...
As I mentioned HERE, the Taycan is only marginally RWD biased in the snow (and you have to completely turn off the Stability mode to achieve this):
"As an AWD vehicle it has a tendency to transition pretty quickly from a RWD drift into a 4WD slide once you lose traction. You can, however...
Why was THIS particular thread moved to the "Issues, Warranty, Recalls, TSB" forum? (...and so many others NOT?)
This is not a unique "issue" to my vehicle. This is a known design problem with EVERY Taycan for which no "Warranty, Recall, or TSB" has yet been issued...
If you move everything...
BTW - Anyone know how to remove the console lid or hinge? I'ld really like to look at it in detail to see if there is anything which might be 3D Printed to help make it work better for us.
I don't see any screws and its not obvious how/where I should start prying to remove the assembly. I...
Dear Porsche,
Why is it that the cover on my center console does not stay open? Why is it that it does not open to a fully vertical position? Why do I need 2 hands and 1 Elbow to access its contents? Why do I need to get out of the car and use a flashlight to actually be able to see the USB...
Once upon a time... (Bear with me...)
When I owned an Infiniti FX-45. I found an electrical schematic that identified the wheel pulse signal which got fed to the Nav system. The Nav system used the wheel pulse, not only to update the cars geographic location when GPS was not available (i.e...
The theory holds.
I'm betting you can discount everything but "Porsche Connect"...
However, I've got no skin in the game (hopefully) as I don't use Porsche Connect or Timers to alter my charging parameters...
{sounds of searching desperately for some wood to knock on}
That also sounds pretty expensive! I just pulled my checking receipts...
I use one of the best PPF/Tint shops in the Milwaukee area. These guys (Blackout) are very good and I typically have to schedule at least a month or two in advance. Always lots of VERY cool cars in there getting done...
I wouldn't have the dealer do ANY of it.
That being said, I always have PPF and Window Tinting planned and scheduled well ahead of taking delivery of any new car. At the shop of MY choosing...
I also very much look forward to doing the Ceramic Coating myself but that can't be done until AFTER...
I would be the very last person to try and guess what Porsche was thinking when they wrote much of the software for this car.
Despite your laptop analogy, door locking and turning off the car really have nothing in common. Consider that the doors also lock when the car is actually being...
...as @chrisk informed me, you actually CAN delete all but one of the homelink assignments without wiping out your entire car profile.
I can now open my Garage Door without closing the Backup Camera (thanks @chrisk!). Unfortunately, I also can no longer open any of the other doors of my garage...
There is another thread already posted for this exact issue a couple of days ago... I honestly don't remember what the conclusion was...
(Hint: ...and its not because you asked the onboard software to multiply 6x6)
So... We have a "spoiler Icon" on the dashboard? (never noticed that...)
To show the position of the spoiler? ...because? Why do I need to know this? In case I'm roaring through a car wash?
...and they can't spare the Real Estate for PgUp or PgDn buttons to browse our music?
