? PCM 6 Update Announcement [Update: Retrofit Being Explored For Existing Taycans]

[02bluesuperroo]

Production completed 10/19/2021 according to TYD. I have black and white icons also. Version appears to be 3615.

Does 33615 have color icons showings on home screen.
Seems 3613 is still black and white icons.

Very interesting. So somewhat of a pattern emerges;
My MY21 4s has 3397 (3 icon on left)
Early MY22 Taycan on forum has 3613. (5 icon on left)
Two posters have shown/reported vver 3615 on their more recent MY22's
My soon-to-be delivered Panamera (MY22) Jan Production has 3615 Listed.

So at a minimum, seems like they would get the 3613's up to 3615. As for the MY 20/21 3397's update to 36xx remains a mystery

No color; I don’t know what car had originally vs what it shows now - so can’t tell you if it did an OTA.

In collecting various PCM HW/SW version combos from various update threads some interesting patterns emerged in the hardware versions. Looks like:

• H9J1035 is a major rev indicator and is consistent from 2020-2022
• 092 seems to be region code US, 070 seems to be EU/UK and 140 seems to be Asia
• Final digit seems to be either single or double letter, but no clue what the significance might be

Maybe folks already know this, but was news to me. Software is less relevant since these were pulled from different points in time, so the older revs are pre AMB5. I would expect that truly "new hardware", meaning with capabilities sufficiently beyond current that software updates are no longer backwards compatible, would carry a different designation than H9J1035.

So collected my car.. built 15th Jan 22, MY22 model
details from the screen below.

I have the exact same version in my november 2021 taycan (MY2022).
Can we conclude anything from these numbers ?

So the Tesla got several updates in december and january, also an update in february.
Many new and good features, so not just games and such.

Yes, I think that was a little unusual though and probably in response to the outcry at the revised interface; they got it very wrong and had to iterate quickly. Tesla can make mistakes because they have a faster feedback loop and their customers have been trained to expect rapid change. Porsche would do well to learn from this approach, both the good and the bad.

for those guys with a VAG diagnosis tools like VCDS or OBD11:
you can at least check software and hardware versions this way.
no big bang, but a bit more detailed:

here, MY21 EU with latest updates, built in Dez 2020.

This is information of my Taycan RWD 22, manufactured end of Sep 2021. I'm in China.

I just contacted the local Porsche dealer's technical manager, and he told me once the new SW is ready, he will help me upgrade my car, he think it is a small piece of cake(I really like his confidence and level of service). finger crossed!

Got a Taycan 4S 2022 coming in Quebec Mid-March.

It was produced around 21st of January and my dealer confirmed to me yesterday that it has the latest PCM 6.0 upgrade already installed.

I put there to test if any person will find it! Congratulations

fixed it

9J1 is still present in the early MY22, also in my CT4S. I guess PAD would indicate a new part (“upgrade“ ?)

This is the reply from my dealer referring to the update currently available:-
Classification: Confidential


“This update, only applies to vehicles built from calender week 7 – 2022. At present Porsche have not released the update for vehicles built prior to this date, as we understand it will be released later this year (no dates at present). The car will need to visit the workshop.”

There is no reason why hardware from within a span of a couple of years can’t run the same software. Literally none. I can accept that certain hardware external to the PCM unit is unavailable, but that’s what? Two model years? What the hell are these cars built from? What ever parts available to them on a weekly basis?

This is either just lazy or an attempt to make almost brand new cars obsolete.
