Re: Vehicle Security - Theft Methods Deployed By Thieves

Thanks, Bazza. Any insight on how they're getting into the CANbus on Macans? Headlight method do we think? Unfortunately, I don't. In fact, I hear very little about Porsche in general being stolen. The consensus is that the demand for Porsche vehicles for parts or vehicles in their entirety is slim...

Re: GTS Stolen

Ghost devices - I see these are getting a lot of mentions and I have no direct experience of one myself, but I do know how they operate. I'm temporarily driving a Range Rover Evoque, 23 plate, and it' already broken down once which I wasn't surprised given the general history of Range Rovers, but I ...

Re: GTS Stolen

UNLESS there is a 'mole' in an elevated position in OPC...................... Thinks.................. A few years ago I was working with police on spate of Range Rovers being stolen. All linked to the same dealer, and, yes, the thief was connected to them. If your vehicle is out of your control or...

Re: Vehicle Security - Theft Methods Deployed By Thieves

If BAZZA06 is still on the forum maybe he could add some thoughts about CANBUS injection to his previous great security post. Paul Hi, yes still here from time to time and keeping track on those lovely new Macan's being purchased. Sadly, I no longer have mine as I took advantage of a very generous ...

Re: Dash Cams.

I had a BlackVue front and rear professionally installed. The installer told me that one of his customers, another Porsche owner, was refused service when he took his car in to the dealer he had been a regular purchaser from. They claimed breach of warranty. He fed this back to the installer who had...

How Long Until Macan ICE Discontinued?

Are there any indications as to how long the Macan ICE will remain in production, seeing as the GEN3 will be the final version?

Re: Some people appreciate a Porsche

I used to drive my Boxster around Kings Cross late at night. I'd drive quite slowly near to the pavement as there were quite a few women out just standing around, and they would always look at the car and wave me down. I found it fascinating that sports cars weren't something that only the male spec...

Re: Gen 3 Insurance

Some of these quotes make me sick. I paid £1200 for my Audi S3 this year. Thanks what you get for owning a S3 in London I guess. When I did a go compare for a random GTS a few months back it came back at £600 so my man math tells me i'll save £600 a year on insurance by buying a Macan GTS! Audi is ...

Re: NFU Mutual

Very common for someone’s mind to change once they leave the scene or someone else leans on them not to accept liability. That’s why a lot of insurance claims end up 50:50 especially if there are no injuries to push the pay out up as it’s easy and quick for insurers to resolve. I had exactly this. ...
