This is Ofcom legislation announced on March 22nd 2018 and implemented April 12th 2018. Porsche GB realised on April 13th and warned dealers of a stop campaign (without giving details), which they started on the afternoon of April 16th. Just in time to trap my Macan!uktivo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 8:16 pm I'm assuming it was the introduction of the new wifi/ Bluetooth RED directive. This was actually introduced I think in 2015 with a legal implemented date of June 2016.
The directive was basically a more restrictive set of procedures concerning power on transmissive devices to reduce interference with other items.
If it is this causing the issue, I'm surprised it's taken Porsche this long to do something about it.

Yes I went to pick up my new Macan S this morning and its sitting there pointing at open doors in the showroom, i can sit in it, start it, play with the radio but cant drive off with it.
Very very annoying as i swapped the insurance over from my current car with effect from today (as i have 8 years no claims bonus)
The Local dealer was apologetic.
Nice car though, even better when I get to drive it.
Chose the wood interior dash area and steering wheel and at first I thought it was the piano black option and an err, but it’s actually a lovely dark wood, looks a lot nicer than on the Porsche configurator.

I heard from my OPC about the issue today and they have no news about a fix. Was meant to pick up my new Macan on Saturday but now delayed.
