Unlocking Porsche Connect in Europe

[volodymyr]

Hello everyone! I bought my Taycan 4S in Ukraine in 2021. Unfortunately, Porsche Connect is not available in Ukraine, which is really disappointing. I have since moved to Europe and have tried to activate Porsche Connect through various dealers, but each time I was refused, with the explanation that my car cannot receive Porsche Connect because it was purchased in Ukraine.

I don’t know where else to ask or who to contact, but is there really no way to install it for me? Thanks for your help!

Have you tried the online Porsche Connect Store? This is the link to Porsche Connect Store contact and assistance in Spain: https://connect-store.porsche.com/offer/es/es-ES/static/contact-and-support
This is link to the main Porsche Connect store page that lets you select location: https://www.porsche.com/countries/connect/?cslang=en

In US you deal with Porsche Connect Store, not the dealer, unless you buy the car from a dealer. Renewals are done online via Porsche Connect Store.
Good luck.

I wrote to them, let's see what they say. The dealer I contacted in Valencia said he tried to activate/check it and told me that Porsche Connect is blocked. But thanks for your help!

Like people do with Audi, you need to send the PCM to specific companies that hack the fw of it and install a modified version because every country has different rules.
Also, and obviously, it’ll be a payment feature like the original Connect. I did these things for years and I get it’s annoying having the same car with limitations

Yes, I've heard that such hacks are often done on Audis. But I tried to find people who do the same for Taycans and found nothing.
