I was wondering does anyone have the taycan rear seat entertainment installed. I think I would like to add it to my build but want to see what it looks like in the back seats. If you have it in your taycan could you tell me if you like it and could you post pictures. Also one more thing from someone with it in your taycan what exactly can you do on it can you watch YouTube or movies and control things like air conditioning and other stuff in the car. I can’t find a good picture of the rear seat entertainment so if you have it can you please send photos or a video thank you.

It will be for watching films etc. No AC control where installed in the rear as it has its own control panel.

Personally I think it would be quite claustrophobic for rear passengers.

Seems like a waste of money to be honest. Your kids can have iPads if they are sitting there so they aren’t destroying your car. Any other rear seat passengers probably won’t sit for long enough for that to matter and everyone already have phones.

I would also think you are better of buying iPads or tablets than these rather intrusive looking screens!

here is an old video with Porsche rear seat entertainment on Pana (same on Cayanne),



basically it will work in a similar fashion as the video explained on the Taycan, of course there is no disc player anymore.
with my coming GTS, I opted for the rear seat entertainment ports and will hunt an aftermarket/used screens, coz it's not worth paying 2k for 2 android tablets for kids only.

mine has it and all you can do is connect it toWi-Fi hotspot and watch Netflix on it and play music.
The new taycan screens don’t allow controlling anything else

Just fyi you can plug an Amazon firestick into the HDMI and if you get a very short usb-c to micro usb lead you can make it pretty functional. It’s otherwise useless as you say.
You will also need a wifi dongle as the Porsche wifi only gives you 6 hours of streaming per month and can’t be extended.

I extended mine and added the data pack. I have the tracker option added and if you add that you can then add data bolt on.

I have the data bolt on, it gives you 6 hours a month of Netflix and that’s it. We discovered this on a road trip to France. There is no extension possible, Porsche GB have apologised to me but can’t get any change to it as it’s run from Germany.

I was told you get 7gb which you could obviously use in 6 hours. I wasn’t told there’s a time limit..
If there is that’s another expensive Porsche option that’s a waste of time
