I was in this state of disconnect three times in ~22-months of ownership on my J1.2. Car drove fine and for the most part CarPlay worked, but no app or PCM network connectivity. Took the car in (again) last month and they applied software updates(took 4 days), and now everything is working...

This sounds like what Ford did (for different reasons) at the launch of the Mach-E in 2021. You could finance the purchase and become the owner eligible to collect the USA-rebate $7500 (at the time). And there was a 3-yr term on the financing at which point you could return the car without...

Can you share details on how you did that mod? Does it require PIWIS to recode anything?

How did you get the Turbonite emblem on the steering wheel? I thought that was a J1.2 Turbo included feature? I already did my hood emblem and would like to do the steering wheel because my 4S wheels came turbonite from the factory, so I should have all match.

Can you take a picture of the pads and rotors when removed and post them here? And also the mileage driven on those pads and rotors would be helpful for comparision. My thinking is that unless you do frequent trips to the track or really hammer the brake pedal in driving around town, these...

I’m at 18-months and just got the dreaded 12v low problem. Still diagnosing, but drivers door and many sensors showing errors. I had to use the physical key to get the door open but fortunately car was able to come on and drive. Im leaving it in my driveway with the frunk popped until I can...

If I remember correctly from other threads -- The 2025 J1.2 has basically the same PCM hardware as J1.1, and then for 2026 it was refreshed to something slightly better. I have 2025 J1.2 and flakey CarPlay connection, but never screen going totally out. And the two finger reset thing probably...

I had someone help me, but it basically requires a Porsche Virtual tester, and then you connect up a big power supply to the 12V and start the clock on the per hour PIWIS subscription. I've heard the virtual tester takes a while to unlock modules, but it didn't seem that bad and I think the...

Bit of a stretch to get to the food pyramid on this thread, but I get your point about the bureaucracy taking forever and still not getting the best outcome. I have my J1.2 coded for full active HD matrix and it's glorious. I was on a road trip last week and put the car into range mode. The...

My last car (not a Taycan) had a glass roof and it took a chip because the roads around here are terrible. Since the people in the front seats can't even look out the glass roof, I was like "never again, it's not worth having something so brittle"

Yes, I find this restriction to be frustrating as well. Maybe there are mount points where the glass is attached, and those make it possible to add the roof rails? I have the steel roof and that seems like it should be able to at least hold as much weight as glass. I haven't looked into after...

Rear wheel steering is also strongly recommended. I like it for tight turns in parking situations. People say it doesn't do much, but even a few inches can get out of a tight spot more easily. The stability at high speed is also nice and worth it.

No, Active Ride is not necessary, but neither is a Taycan. I'd strongly recommend getting Active Ride though, as I really like mine. I don't have experience to compare with the standard air suspension. The dealer inventory seems to only spec Active Ride at Turbo S and above. Definitely a...

I have the insulated glass and it reduces reception by about 1-bar by my estimates. If I am really struggling to get any signal at all, I have rolled down the windows to maybe help a little bit. I would be interested in hearing how well a booster works in the Taycan.

The CarPlay is flakey in my 2025. More recently, it's been connecting every time I get in the car, but there was a period of several months where wireless carplay did not work for me at all. I believe 2025 PCM hardware was basically carried over from prior years, and then in 2026 it was...

My car was in the dealer service center for a week last month. They applied 3 software recalls and replaced the charge port door motor. They gave the car back to me without fixing the app connectivity -- said to call Porsche Connect customer service, which I have an open case with, but no...

Repair pic looks really good for a chip that size, hopefully it holds. The fragility of the pano roof is one of the main reasons I opted for steel overhead.

Mine was in the dealership all last week to have them do software recalls and diagnose the broken data connection to Porsche Connect. They completed the software recalls, but sent me back home with the data connection still broken and told me to work with Porsche USA customer support to...

You left out HD matrix activation in the USA. That can done with the virtual tester.

This has been the case with my car since Dec 4, 2025. The car has lost its data connection to the Porsche servers, and therefore the My Porsche app shows outdated information. It happened once before to me in Dec 2024, but a call to Porsche USA then escalated to a team in Germany and they were...
