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

[@lpher]

Thanks for the update @Ipher. Since you were nice enough to check mine a while back, I guess mine would be the same. I am not too worried though since my SA has confirmed to me that the '22s will get the PCM update. But, even if it's not, as long as the PCM works I am ok with that too. I just want to get the car...3 more long weeks.

Agreed Now looking at the partnumers, and taking revisions into account. I'm also inclined to believe that...at least...the 2022 models will get the software update sometime soon.

Three weeks...should go by quite fast

First one with the new PCM version, when did it start production?

 

[@lpher]

Ahh....Thanks for the update... Then at least for current Euro-models the identifiers seems to be the "BB"-ending in the partnumber of the main unit, the 3776 SW version...and that is...if one already haven't noticed the bright colors in the GUI itself!

Looks like week 5 or 6 then...and not the week 7 cutoff that was talked about earlier...

week 7 would be 2/14 no?
This one was built week 9.

Good catch! My bad...off course that would mean it probably started production week 8 and was finished in week 9. And off course that would make the week 7 cutoff prediction...entirely correct

Another recent delivery with a production start of 2/22. Again making it look like that week 7 production switch is correct.

Will be so interesting to hear how it performs over the next few weeks/months.

Can anyone speak to the performance improvements the new hardware and PCM version supposedly includes? Is it noticeable?

Not entirely sure with the hardware/ software versions. I had a loaner RWD this week. Car was brand new and registered in March. No coloured icons either.

Dealer confirmed that the update won't feature on anything earlier than MY22.

Apologies for the rubbish picture.

On Monday, my car was at the shop for some updates like you all had and to change the sensor for the interior alarm.
My dealer told me that I would receive now OTA updates and I did just yesterday and had to stop the car for 30 min during the upgrade.

But he told me as well that in July we'll all receive a new update with colored icons...
I expressly asked him to double check as my car is model 21 and we all think that only model 22 would receive this new version.
For him, he's sure that my car will be involved in this upgrade and I'll get the more intuitive color icons (his words) and the connection to Spotify.

I don't trust anybody anymore so I'll wait patiently but if it's true it's good news.

If '21 and '20 ends up getting these, give that man a beer for being the first to be right.


Not holding my breath.

 

[FredC057]

He didn't say anything about '20.
He was talking about my car, model 21 started build in June, finished end 21 and delivered Jan 22.

And knowing the man, it will be more champagne than a beer.

I really don't like the colored icons, it looks like a Fisher-Price tablet now.
It would be nice to have an option, like all things at Porsche.
