LED License plate issue
#2
Mine did the same thing several times so I “played dumb” and took it to Porsche and they gave me some speech on how Porsche doesn’t let you do it and the stock ones are the only ones you should have
I’ve heard people spending a ton on them on suncoast website
Not sure what the answer is

Thanks all - perhaps it's just the brand then? These are Canbus LEDs I specifically got Canbus ones to not have the code issue... but perhaps its the wrong kind?
Looks way nicer though!

Just dropped my car off at Porsche for the recall and they said that no matter what LED bulbs go in there, Canbus or not, the warning light will always come on as it isn't a regular bulb. Is this accurate? Doesn't seem like that makes sense to me - there has to be an LED bulb out there that doesn't generate a warning light on the dash?

I installed Ziza LED bulbs - they work great and they don't generate any warning on the dash. Can't seem to upload a pic...

Good chance that the bulbs you got aren't pulling enough current, hence the error.

That's what I thought - it's just an electrical system hence it not making any sense. Looks like I will end up getting those Zazi ones. Any pics of them working?

Changing to LED bulbs, you must ensure to buy ones that have no Canbus error. Search for no error lED bulb or no canbus error LED, etc.
They have a resistor that imitates resistance of a normal bulb. Once resistance changes, car thinks it is burned out. It is pretty much same on all Porsche cars.

Yeh the ones I got said canbus but didnt mention "no error" so will have to look for that again.
i just ordered canbus ones for turn signals too so hope they also dont generate an error 😂

I have used the ECS bulbs in the past and to me they aren't any different or special to warrant the price they want for them. I paid $13.99 for mine and they feel better quality than the ECS ones.
just my 2 cents...
