[arpee]

Anyone’s guess if this comes to j1 taycan?

No, as usual, we wil be screwed up.

why so excited to have the pcm updated like the restyling?! just curious to know people's fantasies!
everyone uses the car in a different way, but I reckon most of the time we look ahead..not on screens..probably it's me..unless I'm using the Tesla so my freeway drive it's like a brunch with friends!

yes and no. Before looking ahead on an actual drive you punch in the destination (even if you know it by heart you want to know traffic usually). So in steps its: wait for PCM to finish booting, establish connection with the phone, start Carplay, Start waze/maps, punch in the destination (either manually or quick search etc) - in case at any of these steps your PCM is lagging, you're losing time and gaining frustration. Then at an HPC charging stop you might want to check out some YouTube or other content - can absolutely do it through the phone, but the larger display of the car is just so much more appealing.

Btw dealer confirmed they’ve connected with the importer & moved my MY25 to MY26 production, no fuss at all. I guess they don't mind the 1.3% cost increase (but after discounts this is les than 1% for me, which is OK)

The 26 Taycan still doesn't have the new Android based infotainment like Macan EV. Just faster linux based

Big Issue: The article says Porsche Connect is now standard for new Taycans for 10 years. You would think Porsche would back date this change for their existing Taycan customers. That is, if they wanted to earn our loyalty.

On 911s too - probably across the range in fact.

It has to be paid for so I suspect there'll be no extended period for J1.1 owners. Perhaps cam be negotiated as part of a 2nd hand purchase..

It will be interesting to see the pricing for existing users, I bet they keep it high!

No android indeed by the looks of it, however if the Linux based is much snappier and has decent number of apps (incl Youtube, browser, ParkMobile which is very popular in EU, etc) then probably totally okay. I also see new "performance" section? (bottom left on screenshot below), or was this already part of the latest J1.2 updates?

Performance is part of WRV3 Update

I have the performance app in my 25' J1.2 and youtube. No App Center.

Where is this picture from?

edit: I just realised you zoomed in on the picture from the article ? definitely better eyes than mine, didn’t even notice it’s different than current pcm.

But I would imagine this is only concept art

This picture is from 3D view in the configurator. Not the article

Part of J1.2 either recently introduced or from launch.

I think there is a thread on it with more images - more detailed battery info.

Do you know when the model year is changed? Waiting for J1.2 GTS ST which is being built in September 2025.

Highly doubt that will be the case.

This is all for MY26 and is based on new PCM hardware (to align with Macan EV).

New OS based on Android Automotive is my guess.

 

[W1NGE]

MY26 s up and running now on the configurator and deliveries should be from September onwards as is the normal pattern.

A friend was visiting the other day. He made the comment that Alexa wasn't allowed to monitor you 24/7. I laughed, my wife laughed and Alexa did as well..
