with the Office 365 integration do you get popups of new messages like WhatsApp on Car Play. That would be cool if Porsche read out your emails.

It’s right now just for the calendar. You can take over the address or looking into the calendar in general. It even works with my employee O365 account authentication via 2 factor ;) smart and it works! Let’s see what happen when I need to change the password :)

Haha. Yeah that will be fun! Good that it works with 2FA. Must be using the O365 security app integration.

Hi all,
Are more hidden features available or at least not well documented?
i found in the calendar now an option to connect with a 0365 account.

Hello,
How did you get there? I found no option in the android app nor in the connect website where I am able to setup any connection to my 365 account

The setting is in the calendar app in the vehicle. Hit the three dots then go to link calendar (IIRC). Note your O365 administrator may have required explicit permission to enable third party app integration - which would mean you would need to ask them to authorize this for you. Assuming your O365 calendar is also on your phone, and assuming you have your phone linked to the car, it's faster (available more quickly after starting the car) and easier to just link with the smartphone calendar. That was my initial take on the O365 direct integration.

If you have massage seats you can start the massage function by pressing a button in the middle of the four way seat adjuster, rather than going through four or five menus in the PCM.

Haha! I discovered this one on accident while washing my car!
The frunk kept popping open when I was washing it so I googled and discovered it was meant to happen.
I’m thinking about putting my keys 20 feet away the next time I wash it to prevent this as well as the door handles popping out.

eSound is way more expressive in sport+ mode. Sorry if this is known already. Discovered this by accident on a Super Autobahn rüde today.

Press the button "open" and "close" at the same time a few seconds until the light on the key light. The Comfort Access is deactivated until you press any button.

Porsche Taycan Hidden features in Taycan? Map2

I just realized that the arrow to the left of the map is a compass. So long as you aren't in "north up" mode, the arrow moves and always points north. Just realized this today. Not sure if this was always the case, or only after getting the update done. Either way, a hidden feature to me.
