Does anyone with a MY20 have anything in writing when and what will be fixed with the week 13 fix.?
Hi my my20 is booked in next week for spoiler realign ( 2 no attempt)
I’ll call them and see if they can adviseupdates
They collect and deliver the car so advantageous for them to do both at the same time

Has anyone in the US received this letter? I am curious to know if this is a phased rollout.
My dealer (BC, Canada) said it was VIN specific - not every car needs it. As mine is working ok (although it definitely has a mind of its own) I am not pushing this until we get some more clarity (from Porsche or in this forum).

Thank you! Interesting. We in the US will be very disappointed if the update doesn't address some of the issues we are seeing here. That means they are still figuring a lot out.

You have to take the Mobile Charger Connect with you, because the Power and Communication Board of the Charger needs a Firmware Update too. Its not possible to make this update at Home.
Mine is kind of built-in now, not mobile anymore.

I will get the update for my MY21 4S now on March 24th. They keep it for two full working days.

Does anyone know what the codes stand for? My letter from Porsche only mentioned WMA6. Here I also read WMA7?!
In some other posting I saw WMA5 and thought this to be the one to bring MY20 to MY21 level with smart-Lift and such?!

care to comment on:
  • WMA5
  • WMA6
  • WMA7
do they exist?
what are their contents?
are they vin/regional specific?
are people just botching the last digit and there really only one update?

I think so far everything we have seen have been for MY21 and nothing is known about the MY20. It’s only speculation that the MY20 will get any update that closely resembles MY21 functionality.

I have a 20MY and am hoping for the best but have very little to base this hope on.

I was looking for info about these WMA# and stumbled across this way to check the software and update the charger. Many may have seen this before. First time I have seen this.
https://contact.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesandservices/porscheservice/software-update/
First image and link above allow you to enter the serial number of your charger. Second images confirms updated or not. Bottom of second page image (not shown in image) gives you 5 steps to follow in case you need to update.

Now need to find a similar Porsche page that lets us check for PCM updates. Still looking.

Anyone get a letter stating that the car needs to go into the dealer to get a software update which will take 4 hours?
My MY21 just got the update two weeks ago. My car had been taken in to resolve the 12V issue and they released the update a couple days early to address that problem. My car was the first in AZ to get the the update and they mentioned at the time that they were releasing the MY21 update before the MY20 because the MY20 was much more extensive.
