I've been holding out for a Tacan tune that goes thru the OBD port rather than having to tear up the trunk every time I need to swap the ECU. Looks like the option has finally arrived.

This is the kind of issue that will likely vary from country to country as warranty laws are different. The main thing to understand in the US is the Magnuson–Moss Act of 1975 which provides the protections listed above. US only tho. (Full disclosure - I'm not an attorney but worked in the...
Sorry to hear that. I love my 911 as well but they're just different cars and scratch different itches. I'd also counter that Porsche would beg to differ as they're the ones that put a badge on it. Electric is the future, not that anyone here needs convincing.
PCA established the club's first EV Technical Coordinator over a year ago and has been working to incorporate EV-related aspects and activities. I think David is on this forum as well. I drove my Tacan 4 CT from Austin to the Birmingham Parade in the summer of 2024 and the trip was pretty easy...
I pulled the door cards off both front and rear doors and can confirm what you have here for fronts but the rear doors are a bit more interesting. I have a CT and the rear doors have a 6.5" woofer, the 3.5" mid and a tweeter.
I have the base stereo but I also have the motor sound option which...
So I have done a lot of personal work to upgrade my base to what I'll call Bose+. @blame.latitude I can confirm the base stereo has 8" woofer in front and 6.5" in rear doors. Rennspec does a nice job making pigtails to adapt base plugs to Bose or Burmester. Porsche did a lot to hamper DIY...
Not the case for me. I got notice of recall ARB7 recall, took it in for inspection and SW update and was asked to not generally charge beyond 80%. I was also getting charging errors both from L2 and DC chargers mid-charge. That problem seems to have been fixed by the SW update and I've charged...
I did the same with my 2022 CT and was told the same by dealer. ALSO, the base speakers use different connectors than the Bose speakers so it is not plug and play. The bracket dimensions are pretty much the same but... it just means you shouldn't buy Bose speakers from a dismantler thinking it...
"PDK isn't a real transmission"
"Real men don't need gear synchronization"
"I don't want a seat belt keeping me in the car in a crash"
"You don't really have traction with ABS"
"Catalytic converters are unnecessarily expensive"
Some people just struggle with change or progress...
That sucks and is just ignorant. I had similar misgivings before attending my first events but was pleasantly surprised once I did. What I found were a bunch of car nerds (and I mean that in a very positive way). I'm on my third 911 but also own a 924 and a Taycan (obviously). I tremendously...
While there may be groups where that is the vibe, it's certainly not the intent. The PCA motto of "it's the people" is really something that at least at a national level we try to be true. I think if you look at the programs offered around PCA, it tries to offer programming to everyone in the...
Hi Tony - go to https://www.pca.org/connect/national-committee-chairs and David Bankston is the contact. You have to sign in to the site to be able to send him a mail. I think he's based in FL.
Yes and yes. Member of PCA national staff (I run the Street Survival program for PCA) and drove the Taycan to Parade in Birmingham last year. PCA is definitely catching up to Taycan and recently appointed their first national EV person whose job is to help the national club figure out how to...
And that's why APIs exist. CarPlay doesn't currently have the ability to tell the car to precondition the battery. It also doesn't help that the chargers at Porsche dealerships in the US aren't in the Porsche map so you can't help the car get ready for charging when you roll up there... That...
