Octopus doesnt currently support Porsche so Octopus Go will only work for you if it supports the Ohme Pro Charger. I have Hypervolt so switched to OVO. Bear in mind that although Octopus Go gives you a reduced night time rate for six hours, your standard rate during the day is higher on that...

The timing do indeed vary on a daily basis (within a set overnight window) based on grid demand and the subsequent wholesale spot rate. For that reason it is needed. Doing this manually would be unworkable. But this is really no different from the credential sharing that is prevalent within IOT...

The third party software just automates the process of creating a single charging profile called Enode and adjusts the time of that slot to suit when energy is cheapest. It’s just a robot automating a task that you’d otherwise need to do manually. And it works. 10p/kw instead of 33p is a big...

If you hit the button on the Porsche app for direct charge it starts but is quickly stopped again.

I have this since switching to OVO ChargeAnytime as my energy supplier and tariff. It uses a platform called Kaluza which links to the Porsche app and creates charging timers based on times when energy is cheap. Direct charging mode is overridden by the ChargeAnytime app.

Both cars run on electricity. That's the only thing they have in common. Why are people comparing them?

Just been looking at the Porsche workshop manual online. I’d registered a couple of days back to access it and it came through this morning. The calibration process is for the camera and the cornering radars (if fitted). The front radar isn’t mentioned. I’m pretty comfortable with not doing...

I don’t know enough about the radar system to be honest. I don’t think it should need recalibrated either but I’ve no experience of working with those so I’m just guessing that it may be the sensor recalibration that Porsche speaks of.

When a new camera is fitted it’s calibrated using special mats with dots on them but if the same camera is going on it shouldn’t be necessary as the camera doesn’t lose it calibration when unplugged. There’s no calibration procedure for parking sensors, so that really just leaves the radar.

I saw this but it’s incomplete. If you look at the instructions it actually shows you how to remove the crash bar rather than the bumper cover.

As do many manufacturers but it’s not necessary. I’ve done this on many cars. My car only has parking sensors and the camera. No radar. So it’s even less necessary for mine.

This is exactly what I’m doing and I’ve got Neptune as well. Looks great.

Fabio from Japan?...:movember:

So with the help of this: https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/porsche/RDW/9J1/1054/8/802/802100 I can now confirm that the bumper needs to come out. Otherwise it will no be possible to remove the lower grill. The above page shows the motorised louvres are screwed into the back of the lower...

there’s a couple of YouTube videos showing guys removing the front bumper and taking the headlights off but I’ve never had to do this with any other car and I’ve done a few. If the headlights don’t need to be removed neither do the arch liners or wheels potentially. On previous cars that I’ve...

These are the parts I have. Currently waiting on the brackets.

Mine has it. I'm in the UK.

For parts have a look here: https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/porsche/ALL/9J1/1054/8/802/802020 As far as I can tell so far, you need the lip, inserts, new grill and parking sensor mounts. One bit I’m confused about is the horizontal bars that run across the grill opening. They’re not...

Where did that last photo come from? Interested to know as it shows a car with headlights, and wheels on with no bumper.

It looks like it needs to come off to get the lower grill out. I don’t think there’s going to be enough room between the radiators and the back of the grill to do it in-situ. When we’ve got some good weather and free time I’ll dive in. Im still waiting on the parking sensor brackets for the new...
