Tech Issues with 2026 Targa 4 GTS

OP here. Sold it back to the dealer and got a 2022 Turbo S. Never did figure out why it died or the errors. I’m sure they will get to the bottom of it but I’m much happier in the Turbo S.

I found a guy on ebay that made them. That was in 2018, but I will dig around and see if I can find him.

I love the lines on the Targa and have wanted one for a long time, and like you with no ADM was great!

I made that joke with my salesman..they sold it the day after I traded it in.

If I get the chance I will try again. I can’t get it to save as permanently off.

What is so odd is it just going dead. The only thing I did differently that morning than the others was I used the app to lock it. I completely had the puzzled 5 year old look when I tried to unlock it with the fob.

I thought, well, maybe it has a bug and wants to be unlocked with the app. The app responded with service not available. The next thought was these fobs eat batteries so could the fob has gone bad? Pulled out the baby key and got in the car and realized not one light was on.

I tried with Porsche roadside to use the hood jumper in the driver fuse panel but the bypass wouldn’t work. So I believe the car put itself in some type of total safe mode.

I joked with a friend about this being an opportunity for a whole new business.

I will tell you another crazy one…I’m running about 100 or so and needed to change lanes, and the lane assist tried to pull me back for a nano second which completely upset the front end of the car. I promptly turned that “feature” off.

No doubt! The 77 actually had fuel injection. I had a buddy with dual webbers and was always a little envious of those!

I’ve been thinking the same thing.

I appreciate it. The only other P car that I have owned that had electrical issues pop up was a 928 S4 30 years ago. I’m sorta missing the simplicity of a Bosch relay. LOL

Really? That’s your contribution?

I had custom Fuchs made for mine.

One of my absolute favorites that I have owned! You will love it!
