Hello. I have taken my 4s (new) on Friday. The dealer told me that Taycan does not have wireless CarPlay but so far only the Cayenne.
I thought I had read that it does exist for Taycan. Am I wrong and I misunderstood ?

+1, it’s there. It didn’t work before my update, but does now. However, I stick to the PCM mostly.
what is pcm? I’ve noticed this come up when Apple play connects but wasn’t sure what it meant? If selecting this instead ofApple play what happens?

PCM is the Porsche Communication Management system (aka the default telematics operating system that you see on your screen when CarPlay is not in the foreground).

Thanks. How do I activate it without cable? I am not sure how is it possible that a dealer does not know this!

Here is how it worked for me. Connect your phone to bluetooth like you would do without CarPlay. Once it has completed, select "Devices" in the main PCM screen. There you'll see your phone listed. In the row where your phone is listed, there will be a few icons showing that your phone is connected via bluetooth and these icons will be "lit." The third icon is the CarPlay icon, which will be "unlit." Tap on that icon, and give it some time. It worked on my next drive.

Thank you. Why does it give you the option of pcm when initiating Apple car play?

For the op. Not sure if this helps but I had to buy a lead and connect several times via a lead before the car recognised wirelessly.

my carplay icon is grayed and when you push it, doesn't do anything. Am I missing something? Happening in a 2023 4S CT

Do you have an iPhone ? :)

If so, is CarPlay enabled on your phone?
