Hi everyone,
Picked up my 2021 Taycan last night, have already put 80 miles on it and love it, except for this Porsche Connect mess.
I’ve searched and read through several threads of similar issues with seemingly no reliable solution. The specific issue I’m having is:
Settings > Set-up Assistant > Porsche ID login: Login button greyed out. When pressed, “Function not available”
I’ve ensured privacy mode is off. The vehicle is visible in “My Porsche” account on the web and most services are active. Though I noticed when I do have privacy mode enabled, it disables some services stating privacy mode is activated. So some communication must be happening.
I am able to log into the app, though the app claims “Remote access has been deactivated”.
“My Porsche” shows a service “In-car Wi-Fi Hotspot powered by Verizon” (this is important further down)
Here are my other observations:
Any help to get this working would be appreciated. I'd prefer not to have to take it back to the dealer if possible but that may not be realistic.
Thank you!

Here are my other observations:
- PCM software version: MPR3_US_POG46_P3397. The PCM states a software update is available, but I can't install it because I can't log in.
- SOS button above rear view: flashing red LED, when pressed, voice says “the emergency call cannot be made”
- Online radio: “function not available”
- Settings > Accounts > Add new account: “Account can currently not be added”
- Data connection settings > Integrated SIM card status: AT&T, 3 of 5 bars (shouldn’t this be Verizon?)
- At one point I *believe* I saw a message stating map data had been updated, but I was driving and I can’t be certain.
Any help to get this working would be appreciated. I'd prefer not to have to take it back to the dealer if possible but that may not be realistic.
Thank you!
