Does anybody know or understand why the U.K. Taycans do not come with the wireless charger? It is available in a lot of cars in the U.K. from other brands, and it is available in a lot of other markets. So Porsche do have it in the Taycan, but not for the U.K.?
Hi everyone I picked up my UK Taycan 4s MY2021 and IT DOES have wireless charging and car play fitted to it. In my arm rest is a small clip that you slot the phone into, with a sign saying “screen to face away” and have checked it and it’s working... so U.K. cars do have wireless charging.

No worries. Thanks to others posting on here I’ve been well prepared with lithium 12v battery bank, USB c connectors and black leather wallet holder for that spare area under the centre console, so happy to pass it forward...

In my BMW X5 the wireless charging mat forever wakes the phone up. This is a function of ApplePay, I believe, but I like ApplePay's contactless for its convenience. Its slightly distracting unless you close the lid of the tray. Does the Taycan do the same?

Mine too, MY21. I can confirm both wireless charging and wireless CarPlay works just fine...

Having moaned about Apple for years I’ve transitioned to the ‘evil empire’ from Android (the slightly less evil empire in my view) just to take advantage of Car Play when my car arrives; it’s a bonus that wireless charging is supported too. Apparently I wasn’t THAT concerned after all, and actually my new iPhone 12 is a superb device IMHO.

Can someone confirm how many USB C sockets there are under the arm rest?

Agree that for a quick trip wireless CarPlay is fine, but in provokes cars I have found it slower for track changes (so you tap again and skip 2 or 3 tracks) and have found it co fusing at junctions in Google maps as it sometimes can't keep up.

Hi, Just out of curiosity, did you have to enable anything in PCM? The good to know guide says that there's a setting in phone\settings... did you have to enable that and do you have those settings to enable?

Picked my car up today, have the cradle, but no settings in the PCM, and have tries with iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone X but no charging joy...

Was that not one of the chips currently missing due to the shortage?
