I just got my TurboS back from the slew of firmware updates which were scheduled to applied (2 days).

I now note that if I select the "play" screen on the Nav system while listening to SiriusXM that the Artist/Title/Album info which is displayed flashes on/off at some "random" interval. My GUESS is that every time SirusXM sends down a packet of metdata for the song which is being played, the firmware blanks the screen and then repaints it...

I did a quick search here and have not noted that anyone else has reported this. Anyone?

This is not happening with my screen. I can have a passenger watch the screen more closely on my next drive.

My dealer just replicated it on one of the Taycans on their lot. Looks like its not just my car...

Its pretty annoying/distracting. With the Center display in "Media" mode, select SiriusXM, Tune to any channel, and then hit the "play" tab (upper left) to get the large view of whatever is playing.

The text which displays artist/album/song info is flickering off at "random" intervals in my car. (Every 4-5 seconds). Its like the info is being updated and they are clearing the existing text first.

More Porsche software "goodness", I expect...

Very strange. I checked again, and mine does not do this, at least not during the 25 minute drive that I took today. Sorry not to be of any assistance here.
