Useful features by my husband who has operated every inch of the Porsche Panamera's touch screen.
Published on: 25.07.2018
There's nothing you don't know around the navigational system.
I recently blogged about my views on the useful features around the Panamera's touch screen, but when I talked to my husband afterwards, I learned that there are many things I don't know about touch screen operation and features... On the contrary, he told meI don't know anything about the Panamera's navigation system.So I was told.Convenient functions related to touch panel operation that my husband found useful."I would like to introduce you to the following
I'm not making excuses.(No, excuses...)There is not much in the Panamera's user manual about how to operate and set up the touch panel, so the only way is to learn and confirm by touching it one by one on your own. Given that.My husband, who claims that there is nothing he doesn't know about the navigation system, even though it's not even in the user's manual, has done a lot of maniacal research, I think again (explosion).
So here are four features that my husband found useful.
(1) Customizable home screen
The first is.The ability to customize the home screen to one's liking."The husband said. According to my husband.
My home screen has the most frequently used chassis settings, sport exhaust, idle stop button, clock, etc. in an order that is easy to reach. It is definitely more convenient to customize it and tailor it to your own taste.
I was told that I would be able to use it. However, since I was only touching the already customized home screen, I was actually shown how to set it up. First of all, the "3-line mark" at the top of the touch panel(What is this mark called? Menu?)Pressing the "Setting Up Home."Click on the button that appears.
By the way, the secondSet up the infowidget."button is a simple widget-like screen setting screen that appears only halfway up when you scroll the touch panel. So, you can set different contents for Home and Info Widget. ...So, going back to the story, when you click on "Set Home," you will see the following screen.
Next, the left side of theSelect a category."From the "Home" screen, you can freely touch the items you want to add to your home page or use frequently, and bring them to the right side of the screen. I guess it is called drag and drop. For example, if you add "Vehicle" to the right side, you can further select whether to display a button to change the suspension settings or a button to change the driving mode itself.
There are also five layouts available, each of which changes the amount, placement, and size of panels that can be displayed. Therefore, it is possible to save different themes for each layout, such as "Layout 1" for vehicle-related information and "Layout 2" for navigation and media-related information, and change them according to your mood or driving conditions on that day.
Finally, do not forget to press the red button "Confirm".
Apple CarPlay
The second useful feature is theApple CarPlay" in the app." By the way, I have never used it. I mean, I don't have any music on my iPhone.(When I changed my iPhone before, it didn't sync properly and all my music disappeared, so I haven't put it in...)She was a very good friend of my husband's. According to my husband.
CarPlay is not much of a feature right now, just "iPhone music apps," "Siri," "navigation with Apple maps," etc., but with iOS12 coming out in the fall, it will be able to display Google Maps and other third-party navigation apps. I'm really looking forward to iOS 12, which will be released in the fall, because it will be able to display navigation apps from other companies, such as Google Maps.
It would be convenient to have Google Maps displayed on the navigation system - especially since traffic jam information is available in real time and only locals know about shortcuts. If this were to happen, I wonder if we would no longer use the OEM NAVS. These are very difficult times for car navigation system manufacturers.
(3) App News
The third useful feature is "app news". According to my husband.
This news is only registered with Porsche News by default, butMy Porsche websiteYou can subscribe to any RSS feed you like after logging in and setting up your account at For example, if you subscribe to the "Porsche Came to My House" blog, you will receive updates. But, well, I don't use the news for that.
I'm sure I don't look at "RSS" every time I'm driving. I certainly don't look at "RSS" every time I'm driving. Also, although updates are displayed, only the title of the blog and the title of the article are shown, and even if you click on them, you can't read the full text, so it would be more convenient to look at it on the smart phone. I wonder when I would use this feature...when I am waiting for someone or when I have too much time on my hands... (explosion)
(4) Passenger seat adjustment
The fourth feature that I find useful is the ability to adjust the passenger seat from the driver's seat. I find this useful and have written about how to do it in detail in a previous article I wrote, so if you would like to read more about it, please click here.

Oh well...I guess there are still a lot of features and information that I don't know about. Let's go back and look at the Panamera's owner's manual again!

I am watching with great interest.
The Panamera 4S arrived at our house at the end of May.
However, aside from driving, there are many other things that are difficult or unknown to operate.
For example, the large dio.
I am listening to music on an SD card and want to switch to a radio broadcast.
Even in such a case, I have to do it over and over again to finally be able to listen.
It is even dangerous while driving.
It is also difficult to close the rear sunshade.
I want to erase the destination in the navigation system, but I can't.
There are probably many more.
If it is possible, I would appreciate it if the owner of this blog could post the operation system he/she has experienced.
Fortunately.
The other one I own, a 991 911 4s, is crappier but easier to handle.
I cannot see a perfect picture, but the owner is outstanding in beauty.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm using this blog as a reference, but my Panamera has standard seats for the passenger seat.
No control was possible.
Others have been helpful.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for visiting my blog!
And congratulations on the delivery of your Panamera 4S!
>If it is possible, I would appreciate it if the owner of this blog could post his/her experience with the operation system.
>Thank you very much.
I've been asked many times to write articles on operations for some time now.
I myself have not been able to write about it because I only operate it minimally.
I'll see what I can come up with once I get around to writing a little article on the operation!
>It is also difficult to close the sunshade in the rear.
In our house, we have a button on the home screen to turn the sunshade on and off.
It is very convenient to have one-touch operation.
It may take some time, but I will try to operate consciously from now on so that I can write an article.
Thank you for your continued support.

The widget is set to be air conditioning related when opened.
And the ◇ button is assigned to skip.
I hope this will be helpful.
Thank you very much.

Very helpful ^^^.

I see, and it's convenient that you're being air conditioner related!
It can be used in many ways, and there are many more that we don't know about.
Thank you for your continued support!
Dear Mina and Mamma
Thank you very much.
I would like to enjoy setting it up without being lazy.
Thank you for your continued guidance.
The Panamera replaced the previous base model with the 4s.
I am satisfied with the strength of the product.
I sometimes see Panameras at the golf courses I go to.
The last time I saw it was turbo and the other day it was 4.
Turbo says, "I lost!" And to the 4, "We won!" I won!" for the 4.
I am a small man (-_-;)

Thank you too.
>I would like to enjoy setting it up without being lazy.

I haven't mastered it at all...but I will try to touch it a little more with this.
>I sometimes see Panameras at the golf courses I go to.
Oh yeah! Golf in a Panamera, cool...
Indeed, when I see a turbo, I say, "Oh! (laugh).
Thank you for your continued support!
