I know all we do is talk about the PCM and how much it isn't what it was intended to be and I am a prime example with no working Apple Music since September (going in for more diagnostics in February per a request from Porsche Germany) but my question is about whether anyone gets text messages anymore. The manual says you should see an icon for messages but there isn't one plus even when people text me, I get nothing on my PCM. Even my wife's Cayenne gets a ding when I get a message. Anyone else have this issue? I have a iphone 13 Pro and a 2021 4S.

My text stopped coming in about six months ago after they swapped out the PCM module. My phone etc was not connecting. Mobile works well since then.
Keep me posted of any results.
Thank you
P.S. Maybe it is a carmine red thing.

Working ok on Android.

Have you tried deleting your phone from the PCM (and PCM from your phone) using the device manager and starting over and allow any access requests?

I did that several times but nothing seems to make the text messages work. For the record, Carplay does it because it is Apple to Apple talking from the phone to the app. Just another glitch we might have to live with on what is a great car with awful electronics.

None at all, but maybe because I have texts turned off on my phones service provider? Who cares.

Enable all.

Not sure I've ever seen that in the PCM under notifications before but worth a shot.

I have iphone 12-ish no appleplay (it screwed EVERYTHIG up after each call or text - would not revert to FM radio, jsut be silent)

i get a DING with a text. about 3-4 minutes after my watch and phone alert me to the text. Literally, no exaggeration

no delay on call notifications, but 3-4 mins on texts

Check your Carplay settings on your iPhone and make sure messages are included.

General > CarPlay >Available Cars > Taycan > Customize

Also check your notification settings on Iphone. Look at Messages and see if CarPlay is selected.

Interesting. For My MY21 PCM, I have no " Settings_NotificationCentre_Allow"" settings or screens like your 3rd or 4th Screen shown above. Carplay works very nicely and easily reads the messages to me. So other than the minor aggravation of having a menu choice in PCM that doesn't do what it says, Carply makes communications very functional.

These pages you shared re notifications (multiple choices) are not in my PCM - are these from the online sim?

But I now apparently have my first ever issue with the sw in my car as I too do not get any messages updates in the PCM - tried all the above and nothing.

Do see, not surprisingly, the msgs in CarPlay (and again I have no issues with Apple Music or CarPlay or anything else other than this thing where PCM Notifications do not appear to be passing my phone msgs through) - weird - need to dig into this more as likely a phone to car connection issue and likely on the PCM side ....

My My22 works fine - it immediately comes up as a received message when I get a text then will read them out if asked.

On an iPhone at least you have to enable Notifications in the bluetooth settings for the Taycan 'device' to get them to come up, maybe you are missing that as its not on by default.

Nailed it - I now am back to no issues whatsoever - thx for that, totally missed that toggle! :)

rquinton you may want to confirm that that option is toggled on in your phone too - realize you may have other issues too however.

Yes these are from the SIM - I'm sure I've not seen these on my PCM either.

Your post really struck a chord with me. It's kind of wild how we often talk about the PCM not being what it was meant to be. I can totally relate – I've been dealing with some Apple Music issues myself since September. It's frustrating, isn't it?
