Apple CarPlay battery percentage not working - is it because I don't have Porsche Connect?

[Watchesandburgers]

I cancelled (did not renew) my Porsche Connect Services last year and posted about it here. In general, it's fine for me, as I use Apple CarPlay 100% of the time. I've noted lately that I get the error message "Apple Maps is having trouble connecting to your vehicle. Battery percentage may not be accurate." I swear it worked for several months after cancelling Connect Services, but now it's not. I disconnected CarPlay and reestablished the connection and it worked again, but only for a short while.

Who else is in my situation: CarPlay user without Porsche Connect Services? Is your experience the same?

Thanks!

No that thing is super annoying, it hasn’t worked in a year for me.

I had Porsche centre take a look. It turns out to be a privacy setting in the Porsche app. He turned them all on and it work, Apple Maps knowing the car charge percentage.

Vehicle SOC is synced over CarPlay, not Porsche Connect. All other settings like ambient color, etc., work the same, all synced through the CarPlay protocol.

loaded the new app yesterday and battery soc is working for me now, will have to see if it sticks.

Anyone have a pic of the CarPlay and battery status ? I use car play and hardly ever use the Porsche app in it. Also never use Apple Maps as I’m a Google maps user

Another super annoying thing with the Porsche UI. Doesn’t maintain connectivity to CarPlay/Apple maps so you have to keep refreshing the connection within the Porsche app to make it work. Honestly, I just use Google Maps because it has fewer weird directions than Apple Maps for me.

Make sure you have version 19 installed.

I have been using CarPlay for the last year. I also use Apple Maps at times and it use to keep me informed of SOC during a trip. It stopped working a few months ago. Sometimes it would work if I went to the Porsche Connect App first and told it to use Apple CarPlay. But this didn’t always happen. I’ve installed the latest version of Porsche Connect (v19) and it still does not work properly. So I have the latest IOS installed and latest Porsche Connect App. I also checked to see that I had all the privacy selections set in my Porsche Connect App. They have always been checked correctly and the feature still doesn’t always work.

Can you share those settings?

I went to double check as Apple map was 25 days out of sync.
To get this working again I just setup EV routing in Apple Maps again ( it was already setup) and it worked straight way. I wonder if they have changed the authentication and just needs to be ran again. Mom

I stopped getting updated charge % for me several months ago after my communication module stopped working. Once I reset it by tripping the fuse, it still didn’t work until magically about a week ago where my car’s charge % is accurately reflected once again. Not sure the reason but I would give it another shot.
