There is a button for just about everything in the Macan. You mean to tell me they couldn't find a single space anywhere to install something like a PDK reset button without having to go through all that??! It's nothing more than clearing the "cache" surely! I'm going to start charging Porsche for all these genius ideas. That and my patented DPF level notifier in the PCM! Thank me later SD owners! LOL!

A dpf level in the multi function display would be great coupled together with a regen button so that you could choose to do a regen when it was an ideal situation ie when on motorway.

+1 (or is it +2) for the dpf guage; not a problem for me today (πŸ˜‚) but so useful for SD drivers, and a button to force regen tooπŸ‘

Has anyone found an OBD reader and Bluetooth app that includes dpf readings for a Porsche Macan ?

Just one minor problem with this great idea: all Porsche diesels are discontinued models. The chances of a non-safety related modification being implemented must be somewhere between zero and non-existent.
