Move to the American Southwest. You won’t get rain for years, problem solved.

Every snowstorm every winter I’m told yet again about this. After a couple of years you get used to it. It’s like an old friend coming by for a visit.

It may be annoying but it is working as intended. If you could switch it off the ambulance ? chasers would be queuing up

I look upon it as a new feature in my MY23 GTS as I never had it in my MY21 4S

Encourages speeding and not something Porsche would wish to promote

Thanks for the responses all. Looks like I'll just have to put up with it being bloody annoying :headbang:

(Its a sorry state of affairs though when it's deemed necessary to fit cars with such 'feature' (that you can't disable)...sign of the times I suppose and is probably only going to get worse...who'd have thought that someone who is driving can't be relied upon to see, using their own bloody eyes, that visibility is reduced and they should take more care...:rolleyes:...perhaps there are more people driving around blindfolded or with their eyes shut than I appreciated o_O).

And it is illegal in Germany to have any form of speed camera notification in your car.
Who is liable if your Taycan displays Apple Car Play screen with an app showing you said notification?

The driver is. Any form of radar notification is illegal. Coyote etc are illegal. Speed camera notification in Tom Tom etc has to be switched off when crossing the German border. Same for Switzerland. Ok they first have to catch you using it.

If the ticket for using it (assuming they can make it stick) more or less damaging than the ticket for speeding? Also, is the burden of proof on the police or the driver (e.g. in the US traffic court you are guilty until proven innocent, the opposite to criminal court)?

75 euro if they catch you and prove guilty . Speeding tickets if you don’t exaggerate are ok. I had some 20 euro fines between 5 en 10 kmh too fast. The Taycan shows the speed limit. Usually in Germany the speed limit is reduced around city’s and exits for safety purpose. This is a good reason to reduce speed anyway.
You may get away with using it on your cellphone but installing it in PCM in Germany / Switzerland would be illegal and easy to prove because it is really in the car.
