    How to prevent autoplay of iPhone podcast app?

    My wife and I both drive our 2025 Taycan 4. She listens to iTunes on her iPhone. When I get into the car, and switch to my profile if necessary, the car starts playing the podcast that I had paused in my iPhone's Overcast app when I last stopped cardio exercise. How can I prevent the car from...

    Where are my Homelink and Settings PCM icons?

    Brand new Taycan 4 a few days ago. I guess I did have a Homelink icon on the PCM screen, as I was able to set a mirror button to operate our garage door. But, if possible, I now want to set it to operate from farther away from the garage. There's no Homelink icon on the PCM screen now. There's...

    Um, <cough>, where is the audio volume control?

    Taycan 4 was delivered about 42 hours ago. Today I was using the nav function and wanted to turn up the volume for the turn-by-turn audio. Later, after hooking up my iPhone I was listening to the podcast app I use on the phone via CarPlay and again wanted to increase the volume. I couldn't...

    Rectangular plug on right side of front bumper?

    It's about 2 3/4 in. wide and 2 3/8 in. high. What, if anything, is behind it? I can't find it called out in the Owner's Manual. I'm just curious, is all.

    Car just delivered: how to separate key fobs?

    New Taycan 4 just delivered by truck from a distant dealer. Truck driver gave us this: I don't whether this is Taycan-specific or dealer-specific or neither. The silver button seen in profile at the extreme left says it's a "TMC TOUCH-BUTTON" with a lot of numbers and letters that might be a...

    PPI on Taycan 4 in N. Bethesda area for distant buyer?

    The post title says it all. Of course being a Taycan 4 (sedan) it's a new car. Any recommendations? EDIT: The post title omits the fact that being a BEV makes the Taycan a special case, as most independent Porsche shops work primarily or exclusively on gas-fueled cars. EDIT: I've decided to do...

    Can I get InnoDrive, Active Lane Keep (ALK) for Taycan 4 in U.S. with Porsche Connect/FoD?

    I have agreed to buy a dealer-ordered Taycan 4 that is currently en route to the U.S. It has ACC, but not InnoDrive or ALK. After I take delivery will I be able to add the latter features via over-the-air FoD? EDIT: After posting, I thought of calling Porche North America Customer Service. The...

    Parking pre-climatization: turn on, exit, lock, walk away?

    The parking pre-climatization section of the Owner's Manual left me unsure as to whether I can, on a hot summer day, turn on the air conditioning, leave and lock the car, and return after an indefinite interval. For example, in the parking lot of a shopping venue or a movie theater. Can I do that?

    Phase chronology of two SoCal Taycan 4 orders

    How I got this info: Using finder.porsche.com I searched for Taycan 4's in CA. For each of two results I clicked Show Details. The details include a commission#, which I used for the Add Vehicle function in the My Porsche iPhone app. The app provides the phase history. I made an Excel...

    Wife & husband both have iPhones: issues?

    Each of us will be drivers, either solo or with the other as a passenger. As we await delivery of our Taycan 4, I'm wondering whether-- --the car will pair with two iPhones; --if both are in the car, which phone will take/make calls or connect to CarPlay; --if both use the My Porsche app, one...

    "UCC RECOVR", "RECOVR 4 KEYS", "EV MAINT" dealer add-ons?

    Came to a deal via phone yesterday for a Taycan 4. Along with a request for a deposit was a Balance Due (on delivery) that included the subject line items, of which there had been no previous mention. The respective amounts listed are $1,295, $995, and $1,755. The dealer orally provided some...

    option: Model Designation on Rear in High Gloss Black

    The subject option is on the Taycan 4 that is en route from Stuttgart to our garage. We wouldn't have added it, but at $270 it didn't stop us from accepting the otherwise suitable configuration. The reason for this post is that the exterior color of the car is standard-equipment Black. Huh...

    New Taycan will have two drivers: key fobs, seat/window memory?

    For a Taycan 4 to be driven by my wife and me: Will we get two fobs, or need to buy one? Am I correct in guessing that the car can't remember more than one driver's seat/mirrors settings? The only relevant configuration option is Power Seats (14-way) with Memory Package.

    Ordering a Taycan 4 -- process?

    New to Taycan; want the affordable <cough> AWD model, i.e., the 4. But it's not here yet. Local dealer says waiting time for a custom-configured factory car is ~5 months. Porsche USA Car Finder show cars that are "Available in May", which I interpret as available in June. But these cars are all...
