I was looking for an SOS button on the overhead console that automatically dials Porsche Roadside Assistance, but I couldn't find one. I called Porsche Roadside Assistance and asked them, when I couldn't find it. They told me it was on the console right in front of the storage compatrment but I couldn't find there either. Does anyone know if this even exists?
I still ticked-off at Cadillac which wants me to spend at least $25/month for On-Star/RA on my car that's still under warranty. Don't get me started on GM.
Porsche Roadside assistance, at least in Ohio, sucks and is useless. In addition they are clueless how to transport a four wheel drive car.
Spend the extra for a high end tow.
Since there's no spare or jack for that matter, spend a couple of bucks and buy 4 skates and place in the frunk, to get the car onto a flat bed... more tricky in winter but... and yes it took a while
Slowly does it... youu can see the skate on the rear driver side tire Finally...

The Macan does have a jack and spare (at least my 22 GTS does)
If you look at the first picture above and behind the rear driver's side tire; you'll see a skate (I had 4 of them of course). The reason is that since I can't place the car in N with a PDK when it's dead (please don't ask) and roll the car, skates allow you to slide the vehicle as it pulls the car onto these . Here is a better picture

The advantage over a car dolly is that over rough terrain the wheel in a dolly will be difficult to handle or may even get stuck or break.
Pretty neat. But I thought there was a yellow button under the leather boot of the Macan's shifter that you could push to put the transmission in neutral when all else failed.

I didn't know that Porsche had such a thing as a "SOS button". I thought you had to place a phone call to access roadside service (800-PORSCHE).
Does Porsche send you a plastic card with the Porsche roadside assistance number and your VIN shortly after you buy a new Porsche like they did in the old days?
