992 ‘characteristics’

[AMTony]

Having had my car for some time now, it seems to have a few quirks that may or may not be common to all.

Recently, the navigation screen has been appearing in the rhs binnacle all by itself.

It seems to come on when car is coming to a halt and the wheel is turning (parking sensors seem to be the trigger under these circumstances). Examples are when turning into driveway or reversing into a parking space.

I am not inadvertently touching the scroll button as it will still happen when the lhs screen option is activated.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I also have the squeaky seat syndrome but I believe many also have this.

there was something about exactly this on 911uk.com > http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=134493&highli...

I don't quite get the solution , but the person who asked this initially and then found the reason posted ......Apparently he turned a setting on the main nav screen off......

" It's the INFO selection via the steering wheel on the dashboard NAV feature, that makes it pop up"

Very informative, many Thanks.
Will try this when i get the car back.
Apparently there is a recall for new bolts to be fit to the sub frames ( or something like that).
Will update.

Brilliant! I was going to post this exact same issue with mine as I kept wondering if I'd accidentally touched the scroll wheel!!

Cheers!

Shared the tip as suggested With Porsche but this didn’t work. They then carried out a complete reflash after consulting with Germany. Seems a bit harsh but it seems to have worked.

Don’t think Porsche have a specific fix for this as not a common occurrence. Car hasn’t done it again since getting it back so fingers crossed.
