I’ve got the my Porsche widget on my iPhone Home Screen. So whenever I unlock my phone, it’s there. And it refreshes.

Recently I’ve started getting 12v battery low warnings, and the dreaded “electrical system fault” while driving (car does seem to keep working when I turn it off and on).

Could the two be related? Could that widget refresh the data from the care and “wake” it, causing the 12v battery to drain?

Or does the widgets only ever communicate with Porsche servers and simply report what’s there, and is the refresh from the car decoupled from the app (that’s how I would build it, but they’ve made more peculiar decisions so who knows)?

Anyone have any insights here?
