I had to do exactly this when the key locked itself inside the car, while I was washing it. Same as the OP. I'd left the key in one of the cupholders, was washing the outside, 20 mins or so later tried to unlock it using the door handle and it just wouldn't.
I assume there's some sort of...
It's a nice town, as long as you don't want to eat dinner after 8pm I discovered. I tried three restaurants, before settling with some tourist trap of a place for an average meal, and they all looked at me like I was insane asking to eat food at 8.30pm(!)
In theory, yes. In practice, I think they suspended it pretty early on, since it was so busy, as we didn't have our fingerprints or photos taken by the French passport control people.
That said, I've been in and out of Italy (by plane) three times since EES was introduced and had my...
Nah it’s not usually anywhere near that bad. It’s only because we traveled out on one of the busiest days of the year: start of school holidays, weekend with a public holiday on the Monday. Unfortunately we had no option but normally I’d avoid a day like that.
It’s very dependent on timing. My...
No, just had to sit there really. You are moving but very slowly. Sort of a sit still for 5 mins then move 1 car length, sit still for 5 mins, move 1 car length… People get out and stretch their legs, run to the toilets while their wife / husband / partner / friend moves the car but there’s not...
You have to display your country code somehow. It doesn't have to be the big sticker, you can get registration plates that have them on the side, but I like the old-school-ness of the big stickers...
Most European countries have them as part of their license plates now, so it's rare to see a...
Mine says this:
Satnav keeps crashing and not loading information correctly. Carried out investigation and confirmed manufactur technical inspection TI 9152 relevant to update PCM software. Ran as per instuction and road tested, tested with incorrect direction and confirmed routes updating with...
Thanks, it's 'cherry metallic' which I really like.
Re: windscreen, I understand (from the manual) that if you have the insulated glass windscreen, which I do, then toll badges won't be able to be detected unless you place them in the area around the rear view mirror. You can see the 'hatched'...
European road trips have been written up many times here already but there were a couple of points I thought might be useful to share, based on my recent (May 2026) experience.
This was only a short trip of around 1000 miles, to visit some friends in Germany and then come home, via Bruges. So I...
Not sure (helpful I know) but I had the same thought as you, so disabled the PCS setting and manually added ionity and Tesla like you’ve done… I imagine it’ll still need a little manual route tweaking anyway.
Just had my car delivered back to me! Very impressed with the service from High Wycombe today.
had a quick play with it on the drive to check versions and new features but need to get back to work now. Will give it a proper test this weekend.
Mine's going to High Wycombe next week and they want the car overnight(!)
I've had to beg a Boxster off a mate for a couple of days since Porsche had no loan cars, unless I wanted to wait til mid-July 😳
I live in a fairly rural part of England and have suddenly noticed my app just will not update while the car is parked on my drive.
Works absolutely fine away from home, so I’m guessing it’s a cellular network issue. Which would make sense as there’s basically zero phone signal at my house...
I've been having the really annoying Apple integration, and handwriting(?!) support, popups for the last couple of weeks.
I haven't tried to use the nav to route me anywhere, but my CarPlay is working ok.
I've had to subscribe to ABRP premium since Porsche can't get me in for WTG1 before my...
