Great info thanks mate. We'll see what we can do. Given LiPo's tendency to go thermonuclear though I'll take the old one out the car first! Anyone have any tried and tested suggestions for a LiPo trickle charger for the next time I leave it for a period?

Very interesting thanks, I had never heard that. I'm sure my guy knows all this he's done a bunch of Taycans (and McLarens etc) down here now. Just for my education. Thank you.

Finally found a dealer who would sell me a battery and sea freighted it to myself down here no problem. To my horror sticking my multimeter across it before my tech has had a chance to get round here and fit/initialize it, the new battery reads 0V... I'm guessing/praying there's a relay in...

Porsche have confirmed the part number I need is 9J1 915 105 NY but they won't sell me one. Does anyone know if the Audi etron GT part with the IDENTICAL part number is otherwise identical? I mean, I know it should be but then who would have thought a 12V battery would ever need programming to...

Ship the car to them.

This is a good point. I did try my NOCO 5 lithium compatible charger overnight which said it was charging but didn't make any difference. I could try it for even longer but as I understand it the battery has cutouts when it drops below a certain voltage which makes me wonder if the charge is...

Because they told me they couldn't ship it, I offered to go up to FL and pick it up from them directly and run it across town to my freight forwarder who will ship it by sea no problem but they changed that to wouldn't sell me one even over the counter. Ugh.

Long story short I live down in the Caribbean with no OPC and after 3 flawless, brilliant years and 20,000 miles my Taycan 4S has finally died. Car is completely dead with the 12V battery showing only 0.7V. When we boost it the car turns on and the PCM is showing full charge and 230 mile range...

Thanks again Adrian. Does anyone else’s “traffic sign recognition“ menu look like that, or like mine? Thanks

Out of interest what is that a screenshot of? Is that an app or the car?

As a British territory our speed limit signs are the same format as the UK so it should recognise them. You are correct it appears to also need map data... the point is, even if it worked I don't want it but I don't seem to have the option to turn it off. Just to the left of this shot is the...

I think you're right. We have UK style speed limit signs here and it's a UK car so it should recognise them but the esim has no connectivity so it seems to be struggling without a base map for some reason. If I have to have it it would be nice for it to work properly but I'd just rather not have...

Thanks Adrian appreciate it. Unfortunately mine looks like this... It's an early '21 UK car so quite surprised it has different options

Well, er, I find it annoying. Not least because it's hopelessly wrong. If it's going to force information I already know into my line of sight it would be nice if it was correct some of the time, but it's not so it can go. It's a hundred thousand dollar sports car, I don't think I'm being fussy...

Thanks, yes I've tried those things. Unfortunately the map doesn't work where I live because of Porsche's bizarre decision to use an esim rather than a replaceable sim card there doesn't appear to be a way to ever get it to work either. Doesn't matter I don't need it. It seems the speed limit...

Oh no, well this doesn't look good. I can't believe such a lame nanny system can't be turned off!

Not only does it read in kmh but it has never actually got the real number right!

Thanks for the reply! Funnily enough I literally just walked through the door having picked my 4S up from the port where it has sat in the Caribbean sun without a cloud in the sky for the last 2 days and it was pretty warm but not noticeably worse than a regular car. Impressive tinting. Glad I...

UK 240 was dropped and the EU 220 raised to converge on 230V years ago. UK is actually 216 to 253V now. Regular domestic US voltage is a single/split phase 120/240. 120/208V refers to the 208V you get from pulling 2 of the 3 phases at 120V each; typically only in commercial settings. 208 isn't...

Thanks Mike. Yes it's supposed to be the upgraded "Connect". Due to a shortage of the regular chargers when I ordered last year the PMCC was a free upgrade. Something free from Porsche! I mean we have absolutely no idea if it's going to work but you can't argue with the price!
