Bad first day owner story for everyone - wonder if anyone can help. Had a Range Rover stolen from the driveway previously so decided to take no chances on the new Taycan 4S.

Reliable Ghost installer comes, fits and says it was working before a terrible failure.

Keys not detecting, won't start, will unlock, displaying inconsistent messages like "Loss of Position, press Brake" (press brake doesn't fix), music comes on radio but PCM generally unresponsive, will remove lock unlock etc. Anyway can't get keys to recognise even in the centre console so currently looking at a lift to the dealer.

Any ideas about what this Ghost installer has done to my brand new car??

Seems like they tested all the fuses etc and surely the battery tested. But any ideas?

Sounds like n installation issue

Not helpful now but why use something other than Porsche's PVTS which requires nothing further to be installed and simply activation after subscribing?

Oh yes I shouldnt have had the Ghost and have the PVTS so it really was belt and braces as I didnt want it off the driveway - once the Range Rover went it was gone for good. Porsche seems better but I only realise now. The fault appears to be a short to the key recognition in the centre console. Basically bricks the car as stuck in an emergency mode so wont start or operate normally.
