I found a link with some details:

https://rennlist.com/forums/taycan/1259681-2020-taycan-cabin-air-filter-change.html

Seems easy, but does the warning need to be reset in the PCM?

I called the dealer to make an appt for this service and was quoted $765. Wow.
I did find the menu option to clear this.

I think I'm going to call the dealer back and confirm that there is nothing else required for this service. If not, I'm just going to buy a Porsche filter for $69 and do it myself.

That would make more sense if this is actually the 2 year service. I didn't ask for that when making the appointment, but now I will ask.

Thanks!

just changed mine today per instructions above. This was how the old one looks after 24 months and 22k miles in Nor Cal.

Would you please share link directly to the instructions, could not find them.
I replace mine every 6 months min if you do not want to breathe mold, regardless of where you live as moisture and dust create mold. I am not sure why manual states for my Porsche vehicles to change at 20k miles or 2 years which is insane to me as they come out looking like you are showing above.

I do not have Taycan yet but, I replace my own Macan filter (Mann brand same as OEM $13 and 5 min of my time vs. dealer $60 for filter and $70 labor plus taxes and shop fees). I also have 2008 Acura TSX and replace it as well and it is much easier to do as Japanese design is superior in every way to no surprise.

I have to figure out the Cayenne now, as I was not prepared for it as it went into its annual services and that costs $185 to do by the dealer all in.
