Still a distant dream, any word about Android Auto for the Taycan; or, for that matter, any Porsche model (at least that would give me some hope)?

Hi Luke, I ordered my 2020 Taycan 4S in June and expect it to be delivered at my dealer later this month. When entering my car's specs into the MY2021 configurator And comparing this to my own original order, I noticed that the prices for the different components of the order remained unchanged, except for one component: in my order the Mobile Charger Connect (NW2) was $1,120 whereas it now seems to be free ($0). Would you know whether Porsche will still charge us for the charger (no pun intended) for MY2020 Taycans that still need to be delivered?

So sorry I thought you were asking about the Tire and Wheel Protection plans that some dealerships offer.

Totally haven't heard anything about it voiding any sort of warranties to swap out wheels... Unless those wheels cause damage to something else (i.e. let's say the tires rub and it messes up the fender liner - that's on you).

We have a custom set of wheels on our Taycan Turbo on the showroom floor...

Thank you. Luke.

Actually during training we were told there is a small microphone in the rear motor that is taking those sounds it produces inside, synthesizing them (to sound like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars) and then amplifying them into the cabin.

You'll even notice when driving with the Sport Sound on that it seems to follow what the actual motor seems to be doing, and not necessarily the throttle input.

Could be totally wrong, but I do believe there is an actual microphone in the rear motor that is picking up on some of the sounds!
Perhaps they meant the “sound” was based on an actual motor. My experienced Porsche technician said, “It has a module for the sound, it's not mic'ed. They sampled a motor to make the sound, it's not recorded from the car live.. everything is from the module sound symposer module.” Check out this Audi video. . At about 5:30, they are developing the sound profile template using a stand-alone accelerator pedal.

Hi Luke, this morning after a short errand of normal city driving 10 miles or so, after returning home there was a really strong moth ball like smell coming from my right front vent, near the wheel. I have the 21” Mission E wheels with the ceramic brakes. Any idea what that would be or if it’s an issue? It doesn’t seem to come from the left side, only the right. Thanks for any guidance.

Are there verbal commands to say that will automatically change the air conditioning settings from "focused" to "diffuse"

Have you tried the assistant? She’s pretty good at some things, not so much on others. I find you really need to choose the right words. You should be able to at least get her to open it on the screen.

@LukeManning, I notice that when I park and turn the car off, there are a series of sounds/noises that occur over time, which I assume are normal behavior. It seems like the car is methodically disengaging and putting things away in some sort of sequence. I'm curious if you or your techs know what the car does in the several minutes that follow a power-off?

Still no updates from Porsche on this. Does not look like a listed feature on MY21' Taycan either so we shall wait and see.
Thought I'd mention that my MY21 car that I received last week seems to have wireless Carplay. I had been plugging my iPhone in so it was a surprise when I unplugged it and the Carplay just continued and the interface still worked.

Whoa. Great news (for MY2021 owners, at least). Hopeful news for MY 2020 owners. Thank you for the update!

Can you share what your PCM Software Version is?

What shows up in Device Manager when using wireless CarPlay?

WOW!!!.......this is encouraging, please let us know if you try it again at another time without plugging it in first
Also, did you add the HeadUp Display and if so can you share some photos?
EXCITING if true

Sorry for the late reply! Was on a little vacation.

This is AWESOME news. Super glad to hear this.

Hopefully can retro this to MY20" cars - although I highly doubt it since they didn't do that for Cayenne or Macan either...

Unfortunately probably not anytime soon. I also use Android and hate that I can't have Android Auto when I drive a Porsche.

It's some crazy statistic that like 85%+ of Porsche owners have an iPhone instead.

Yes, it is an option on the option list so it will still be part of the price of the car that dealerships are trying to sell for.

That being said, at this point of the year you should be able to have some concession on a MY20' Taycan purchase.

Hope this helps!
