Hi,
Just received OTA PCM update with excitement. Had to manually start the update on this one after turning car off. Estimated 30 min and I had to leave the car and lock it for it to start. Here are the screen shots. After installed successfully the PCM version is the same. No change. Can’t seem to find anything different.
Anyone else got it and know what it is?
CT21
(In Norwegian - sorry)

UPDATE: It says in the notes the update will improve connectivity with my Porsche app. The app will allegedly ‘charge’ quicker. I assume this will improve app user experience.

These kind of OTA updates are very country-specific.
Personally, I never had an update like this.
2020 Taycan.

When was the last time you visited the workshop?

Indeed. It is the first ‘Tesla style’ OTA update I have seen so we are making progress. Curious to see if others are also receiving this update.

2020 Taycan.

Had it in last week for a campaign (alarm sensor, software updates etc)
Could be they manually updated my software at PC, enabling it to receive OTA PCM updates. I don’t know.

Never had an update like this. 4s+ also in Norway. Will check later tonight if there is one waiting.

I do have a request to come in for an update at the dealership. Second time. Crossing fingers they're letting me beta test colored icons update for 21 models. Guy can dream, right? :CWL:

If Porsche start messing about with Easter eggs like fart noises or light shows, I'm cancelling my order.

The only updates I want are ones that make it work better.

Odd that they apparently have a separate software branch for the old PCM that they are still updating in parallel to the main version. From the photos it seems like you're even running the Taycan exclusive pre-wireless CarPlay version where there are only three quick launch apps.

Well, that was exactly what I was thinking.
I went for an update last week but still no OTA update yet.
Of course I'll post when this happens...😁

I have only used CarPlay wireless. What are the 3 quick launch apps you are referring to? I have more than 3 apps in CarPlay.

On the left side of the PCM there are three rows of icons to launch certain apps (Home, car settings and notifications). On MY22 (before the coloured ones), they added two more rows to make it more customizable. I thought that was also when they released wireless CarPlay, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Wireless CarPlay came with '21 (the earliest '21 btw). Us "peasants" with '20 and '21 won't be running the latest PCM if what was in that huge thread was true. Legacy automaker being legacy automaker.

Is it different in Europe? I have a 2020 Taycan 4S in the United States that has Wireless CarPlay.

No. It came to the '20 models later.

No update on my car. I was in a call with Porsche to schedule something and they also told me there was an update I could do over the air, but alas nothing.

So what I found out is that you need to go into the my Porsche web site (on a laptop or desktop) and enable your car to accept OTA updates. Porsche didn’t advise me of this but I was in there for another reason and found this and dug a little. Takes a few clicks and accepting the terms Ed. But I got my new 2022 set up
