Oh wow, you might be onto something there! I was sure I had played with these when I first got the car, but having toggled these 2 settings a couple of times tonight and waited for the car to confirm it had applied the changes I see a noticeable difference in how the lights are behaving :D
I’ll...
Physically there's no reason that you can't flip them around and you may well notice no difference at all in how they perform, but the Pzero Elect are specifically designed to have an inner and an outer. I would imagine there's also insurance or liability issues in the event of a problem if...
I don't. No modifications or extra equipment installed in this car.
I've got some more video footage of what it's doing and have been trying to be more analytical about the behaviour which bothers me most and I think it boils down to:
whenever the full beam auto is active, any input to the...
Yeah, that's exactly my plan, to set it to lowest ride height and adjust the Toe to either factory or possibly a little more Toe in, depending on what the current tyre destroying setting is. we went to do just that last week but frustratingly it seems you can't change the rear toe without a...
Count me in to the club! I've had both fronts fail on me in the past couple of months with weird inner shoulder punctures, so I was even keeping an eye on the tyres generally, but there's just no way to see the very inner edge on the rears without it being up a lift or crawling under the thing...
Thanks, but you're missing the point of the thread. Both myself and @Rusk are really happy and quite impressed with how the PDLS+ matrix lights work on the Taycan and other Porsche vehicles with them fitted. The issue is that on our specific cars, it's not working like they usually do, but...
How very frustrating. Like you I ran out of energy with it and got used to having to operate the full beam manually (cos I can't even set it as a basic auto-high-beam, it's either matrix on or off), but having driven a vehicle with the lights working as intended I'm motivated to push a bit more...
@Rusk did you ever get anywhere with this on your car? I didn’t…
Mine went in for service yesterday so I have a loaner Macan Electric with matrix lights overnight and they’re perfect. The light pattern leaves a nice sturdy border around other vehicles. So I’d like to press them again to get mine...
so my car went in for its service appointment to look at the headlight alignment and I included the video above in my description of the fault, but the message back from them was basically "that's normal" ?
I pressed the service manager a bit when I picked it up and said my experience of the...
So the automatic calibration definitely helped with my car blinding oncoming traffic to the point I feel that's solved, but I still get the issue with the box the headlights draw regularly covering the left hand edge of the car in front. I managed to get a recording which shows what happens. It...
ugh, how frustrating...
If it helps, although I finally found a big flat wall where the car could use the full height and width of the headlight throw and you could have projected a movie on there nicely if you wanted, the actual headlight calibration bit only used the lower meter or so of...
Just to update on my car, I finally found somewhere where I could park just over 5m from a flat wall during a journey out at night, which has been way more difficult a requirement than I had anticipated!
Anyway, with the dipped beam on and the car in park, it wasn't long before the auto...
Hmmm, I've just done a quick search and whilst I can't find any Taycan specific reference, here's some info on the AHC auto calibration for other Porsche vehicles with Matrix lights.
Not a silly question at all! And for me, no, I would be confident that hasn't happened during my ownership.
Is there any specific way to trigger this to happen or other information about it such as recommended distance or other pre-requisites?
Nice one, thank you ? Have they acknowledged it as a known issue? I want to demonstrate that it's a problem with my car, but I can't think how to test/prove that it's a problem without taking someone out in the car at night.
Hope you get it sorted
Hi Russell, did you get anywhere with this? I've just got a 2024 Cross Turismo with Matrix headlights and they misbehave exactly like you've described. Had my first proper drive at the weekend in the dark and they are dynamic, but they track to slightly overlapping the left hand edge of the car...
