PCM 6.0 Announcement - Coming to the Taycan soon?

This is what Porsche says about PCM 6.0 and Taycan:

the word basic stands out to me

I sure hope 2022 brings “enhanced” to the Taycan.

It would be humorous to build out the better PCM for the other models but not allow Taycan owners to open their doors with a phone first

That’s the only reason I bought the white car - I wanted it to match the PCM.

I just wear green tinted sunglasses for a green car. Problem solved. ?

Here's a nice video about the update to the PCM:

Does anybody know whether the hardware is being changed or if it's just a software enhancement? In other words, is the PCM in a 2021 Taycan the same as the PCM in the 2022 (or later)?

I don't need the PCM to run machine learning algorithms to predict what I am going to do. I just want all basic functionalities to work as expected.

I wish I had the option to downgrade to PCM 4.0 or 5.0 where the volume control worked all the time, the language was always correct, the maps loaded fast every time, it never crashed and the camera image was less distorted. Yes it was outdated but it worked every time.

Here’s C&D’s article on it:

Yes, the more advanced features are naturally reserved for those technologically more advanced ICE models...?

I bet has to do with Android Auto coming to 2022 vehicles. Wonder if retroactive to current ones.

Is just software, for sure will be included

Good video with details. Beginning to like this channel.

I really hope someday we can get Carplay (and now Android Auto) on the instrument cluster. It's inconvenient having to look to the side and down to get navigation instructions. Obviously Porsche thinks this sort of design makes sense since the PCM nav uses both displays when navigating.

That's partly on the phone vendors to figure out. Right now both systems assume large rectangular displays for the layout.

They would need to extend their protocol to support an "Instrument Cluster" view as I think just doing Android Auto or CarPlay on the Instrument Cluster would be a bad driver experience.

Has anyone been able to get confirmation that all the PCM changes are coming to MY20, MY21 too as software updates? I've asked my dealer but haven't received any answers. Especially regarding:

• Wired Android Auto
• New Navigation Updates
• Homescreen shortcuts
• Porsche Connect (Porsche Charging Planner updates)
• Remote Park Assist (assuming car is optioned to have Park Assist)
• 3D Surround View (improved panning)
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Exit Warning
• SoundTrack My Life

Update:
Crossed a few items that are in the MY21 Taycan Cross Turismo Brochure

ICE drivers will get a sat nav that doesn't show petrol stations, even when parked at one ?

Poor ICE Porsche drivers now have to deal with our lovely infotainment bugs. Our community is growing, yaaaay ?
