PCM Update new manual?

[Rayo2703]

I received a letter from Porsche asking me to make an apoointment for the software update. The letter advises that the update includes a new owner’s manual and that I should take the original owner’s manual with so that it can be swapped for an updated version. I had the update yesterday but the dealer knew nothing about a replacement manual.

Has anyone come accross this issue?

Congrats on the update (I hope!). Yes, they are meant to give you the 2022 manual if you have a 2020 or 2021 car.

Porsche gave me a new printed manual when I picked up my car after the update.

Mine was posted to me. No mention of returning the old one.

Who posted it? The OPC or Porsche themselves?

Sorry what’s a manual ?

I picked up most of the Tips before i got my car from YouTube and here. I am guessing most of us will do this with the long wait!

My letter states the same but will find out next week if the dealer replaces - I expect not.

You can always get the latest manual for your VIN on the Porsche Good To Know App (there are various model years listed).

Manual is also online in PCM and now voice activated (apparently).

I don’t need it, I just want it.

Does anyone keep their manual in the tiny front glove box ? Damnit i can barely get a pack of wine gums in there as a result!

I waited 4 months to get my original - Porsche Good To Know App is better but I wanted hard copy (on point of principle).

Yep I do.

 

[Rayo2703]

Yep I do.

Just looked at my manual and it shows the coloured icons. I never looked at it before so maybe that is why they never changed it.

I just had my software update- all went well but on the myPorsche app but when I go to “details” top right on the app and come to next screen that has “overview, functions, and manual” nothing changes when I go from overview to functions to manual- doesn’t function and I can no longer access the owners manual that I could before. Not sure if it’s because i just updated to IOS 16 or not, but definitely not working as it had.

Others posted earlier about some issues with the app - perhaps some maintenance ongoing.

Worry not - My Porsche website has the same content under Operating Instructions:
