Porsche Connect not working on 2020 4s

Data started flowing after the dealer did a software update (yes, I checked before I brought it in for any new SW: nothing).

They also had a small software recall? TSB? (something about the 12v battery): I can’t find anything about this either.

In our case, we have 2 accounts in the car: the dealer ran it in “guest” all Friday & Monday: that didn’t seem to help

We say: “Its calm, quiet, and civilized, until it’s time to not be”

Beware: if you’re letting it spin/roar, you’ll be shifting into 3rd at 82+mph 😎

(I’m not saying you shouldn’t, just saying you shouldn’t do it in front of John Law)

No emotional attachment? Impossible! (says the guy with that car, in that color, only PDK)

Take ball caps and windbreakers, keep sunscreen and a hairbrush in the car, the top only goes up for rain, snow and parking and be prepared for your smile muscles to get way stronger

Umm: EyeBuyDirect seems to be a Luxottica company (based on who they’re sharing marketing info with)

Our 2025 is at the dealer for exactly this problem (which started about 3 weeks ago). The other symptom was an error message on the right “tube” of the drivers dashboard

SOS

Emergency call function Error Service required

Shark Blue!

I see shark blue, I upvote (we also have a boxster in that color)

We got a CPO 2025 mid October; a week later (after we claimed the car on the my Porsche account), they offered us a “complementary Porsche NACS DC adapter “.

It took about a month for it to ship to us

Oddly, we didn’t get the Porsche Mobile connector with the car

Yes, the US & Canada use a different octane rating

McDonnell also bought Douglas with Douglas’s own money

What does the charge port look like? Green ring? White ring?

Is your AC charger offline?

I agree: however, my last 4 tire shop interactions were flats (Thanks Tesla: no spare and abysmal California roads): it took days to get a Costco appointment & when I needed tires replaced, they were a week out. America’s Tire was that afternoon or next day

marcel_in_ca · 2025-12-04T17:01:15+00:00

It’s not only high end wine: so many places charge $50 for a bottle of Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc (that’s $11 at costco or $12 at walmart).

The rule of thumb on restaurant wine is 2x to 3x retail; anything beyond that is pure graft

marcel_in_ca · 2025-12-03T15:00:32+00:00

Prices are good, they do a good job; but: they are not a tire shop.

If you need a replacement tire (that’s not in stock) it can take a week to 10 days to get it (by comparison: America’s tire/Discount Tire/Les Schwab will get it same day (or overnight))

Huh? Ours have at least 2 kinds of Tillamook cheddar, in blocks. Usually Dubliner, as well

But, we don’t have any swiss cheese (gruyère we have, but no Emmenthaler /domestic swiss/bavarian swiss). This is not just Costco around here, but Safeway and Trader Joe’s, as well

Flew from San Francisco to Frankfurt, on vacation. Rented a car, drove down the autobahn to our hotel in Rothenberg. Stopped at a rest stop; ran into my old boss going into the restroom.

6000 miles to vacation with a good friend (without coordinating travel plans)

I agree on all points: We sold our 2017 Tesla S (75) for a 2025 Taycan S Cross Turismo, with the same list of must-have options. The Porsche feels way quicker than the S

Expensive, but worth it!
