    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...

    I scratched my screen! Argh.

    (Context for onlookers: this is about the BROTECT AirGlass protectors.) I infer then that the provided phone-oriented instructions to "hinge" one edge, hold the other edge away from the screen, and progressively apply the protector while peeling back the underside film need not be followed...

    Is there some reason to believe that the anti-glare variety is more fingerprint-resistant than the HD one?

    I scratched my screen! Argh.

    Thanks for the review; it's encouraging. However: "Installs just like a smart phone glass screen protector" raises an issue... For anyone wanting to follow me into the weeds, here's part of an email I just sent to protectionfilms24.com:

    I scratched my screen! Argh.

    I assume you meant "Screen ProTech" from screenprotech.com. Those are wet-application films of unspecified material, unlike the dry-installation Brotect brand. Installation seems to me quite fiddly. For the PCM, front AC, and driver instruments (I don't need the latter, but there's no offering...

    I scratched my screen! Argh.

    OK. Meanwhile, I note that amazon.com does not currently offer any variety of Broteck protectors for Taycans, although they offer them for lots of other devices and a few vehicles. Also, protectionfilms24.com does not currently offer online ordering to U.S. customers, but on inquiry they said...

    There are four varieties of Brotect protectors for the Taycan 2021* on the protectionfilms24 site: AirGlass Glass, AirGlass Matte Glass, HD Clear, and Matte. Which did you order? Are you still happy with them? Any installation tips for a klutz? *As we know, later years have the same screen sizes.

    Where are my Homelink and Settings PCM icons?

    At 0:18 -- audio: "we're going to select the HomeLink icon..."; video: he touches that icon on the PCM screen.

    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?

    Good to know! Maybe I encountered something like that when I did try the left steering wheel thumbwheel and it didn't seem to have any effect.

    Center Cap removal

    Yes, some have reported success with that and similar plastic tools, but none worked for me. The corner of the credit card inserts only far enough to flex the card and doesn't budge the cap.

    Center Cap removal

    Update fours years later... Just got a new Taycan 4 with 20 in. Turbo Aero wheels that didn't have the colored center caps that my wife, especially, wanted -- although I like them, too. So I bought four of the colored caps from Suncoast Parts. I found I was unable to get anything into the...

    Rectangular plug on right side of front bumper?

    Nah, I'm just very stupid.

    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?

    Yes indeed, once you know that it's for a towing lug it's easy to find in the manual!

    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...
