goron59's thoughts on PCM/Car Play

Maybe Porsche will offer a vinyl option soon! I have to say, I have found that coding MP3 at the maximum 320 bit rate that iTunes allows produces a good sound. Even through my fairly decent hi fi at home.

Vehicle Security The Methods Deployed By Thieves

Excellent article. Thanks Bazza. Maybe I am being a bit slow here, but if the door is locked and the alarm set (on my driveway) how does someone access the ODB port to programme a new key without breaking a window and setting off the alarm?

Depreciation

Hi guys. I am new here and new to Porsche. I don't actually own a Macan (yet) but have put down a deposit on an SD. I now have the very long wait for it to be built but am enjoying the forum and all of the useful info that you all provide. My only worry is that you will all encourage me spend anothe...
