I bought one of these and it does work. Not the best build quality and I had to add some hardware to keep it from rotating on the center screw but it's OK until something else comes along that is better.

Subbing, I haven’t attached my front plate yet, looks like this is the place to get a solution

So far I have not found anything else. I followed up with Sto and Show last week and they said they are still working on it. In fairness Sto and Show is not no-drill you are just drilling underneath the bumper in a non-visible area.

In the meantime my cheap Amazon tow hook mount survived an extremely windy drive from Colorado to Minnesota and back this past weekend, so it's doing OK.

Wow must have just come out for the Macan III bumper. I wonder if it interferes w/ the ACC sensor, it comes up pretty close below it.

What about this:

Personally I'd rather have two holes drilled hidden behind a mounting frame than one of the offerings that have offset mounting...but that's just me.

Decided to get off of my butt and installed the SKENE bracket ($49.99) that was collecting dust in my garage. For the '22 Macan GTS, "short" size is the one to get. As you can see in the pictures, brackets are adjustable (height & tilt). I went with the same vertical placement as the OEM plastic bracket. Install was very simple-just take your time measuring everything.

Has anyone installed the carbonio plate mount for the 22 gts?

They sent me a mount, it does not fit. Awaiting a customer service reply but i wonder if it fits a 21 and they assumed it fit a 22?

Im picking my GTS next week and ordered the Carbino plate mount. The image on their website shows the unit mounted to the new gen 3 Macan. Look forward to hear what the resolution is with your unit.

Carbonio originally sent the wrong mount.

They sent me the correct 1 overnight delivery once I was able to reach them and now have the correct mount.

It's an adhesive mount that cannot be removed (the 911 mount can be pulled off very easily). So once it's on, it's on.





If you have ACC, the mount should be nowhere near the eyeball.

Thanks for sharing! I also must of received the wrong mount as it’s different then yours. See images below. I really appreciate your feedback. Picking up my GTS next week.

Do you have the correct part number so I can confirm with the vendor when ordered? Thanks.

No invoice was in the box. It may be on the mount but I didn't pay attention. Perhaps someone else who just purchased can provide more info.
