For years, I've been able to poke around and search online versions of owners manuals on www.porscheownersmanuals.com (for example http://www.porscheownersmanuals.com/...le-of-contents) and I've used/posted plenty of links to specific pages right here on RL. Now those links redirect to a page with a bunch of Porsche video tutorials. Anyone know what happened?

 

I can’t find ‘em either. . Bummer.

 

I sent Porsche an email yesterday complaining about this change in their website. No reply yet. The Porsche Good To Know App has also been changed but still has a lot of text info.

 

What? Guess Porsche thinks people don't know how to read anymore???

 

Pretty much explains the problem today. 🤮🤮🤮

 

Have a link to the Porsche online manuals that was set on my PC about a year ago, used it many times to access that reference.

Sure enough, that link now goes to a web page that is completely different and shows videos with no access to the owner's manual.

Don't know what Porsche's thinking was on this, but it wasn't smart. I too sent them an e-mail requesting that they reverse the change and put the online manual back on.

 

I received a reply from Annaliese at PNA, quite promptly actually.

She apologized for any inconvenience and referred me to the “Porsche Good to Know” app for smart phones. The manuals can be accessed there.

Dowloaded the app and you can select your model and download its manual.

I’ve got the one for mine, so I imagine that’s the new normal.

 

Me, too.

 

Thanks for the info. Downloaded the app as well as the manual.

 

I got a similar response. Here's the main portion of it:

"Thank you for contacting Porsche Cars North America in regard to our website.

We appreciate your feedback on the iManuals website, and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please know, you can now access the owners manual from the Porsche Good to Know app. It is available for free in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact us by email or by calling 1-800-PORSCHE. We are available Monday through Friday, 8AM to 9PM EST."

 

Same response I got.

I installed the app, and downloaded the 991 manual. Not sure if it has all the content of the previous online version. And I guess Porsche or PNA/PUSA has assumed we all prefer a smart phone for our interface with the digital world. Rather presumptuous, but I guess that is the brand model.

 

Very disappointing. I liked being able to access various owners manuals online.

 

I have the app on my Galaxy S9 and didn't see any way of downloading the owner's manual from it. Took a little drilling to figure it out.

 

I have the "Good to Know" app on my iPhone and iPad, can access and display the manual, but how do you download it?????

 

Only covers from 2013 on ! Anyone able to access earlier years ?
