Probably late to reply to that, but I had never driven a Porsche, I did try many many cars when I had to pick my latest company car in 2024 but I was all SUV at the time : Q8, Q6, GLE, GLC hybrid (very good / versatile), iX2 - only sedan I tried were the i4 & i5 which was a pretty good feeling...
The sales guy promised he'll investigate up to a conclusion - he's the one who showed me in the 1st place it was possible to get some updates (at least Android) on a march 2020 Turbo, while it would not make his life easier, so at least he's honest.
He said he'll check with their tech guys...
many thanks Jasper, may I ask if you have a picture of how the "icons" look like on your main screen too please ? (where the Apple carplay & Android auto icons sit)
GUI 3 points to grey icons, but I could have gotten that wrong.
Sorry to bug you all :-/
Thanks Jasper, can you please tell me (if it's not too much trouble) the exact full version you read on your PCM screen, is it e.g. 6.xx.3885 ?
And I see you have a 4S MY23, so it means you have also the Android Auto icon, but are they all grey ? or in color ?
Sorry for all the questions, it's...
Thanks also for this comment, it's got only 37000km and looks brand new, 2 previous owners, the sales guy from Porsche showed me (I took a good look) they spent ~4K€ internally to make it look perfectly new again, which I confirm also when I drove it (much better than 2 other I drove a few days...
Hey Jasper, thanks for caring, by any chance do you know which version ## exactly I should be looking up when I check in the car ?
1st step for me is to get the Android Auto icon
2nd step is to see coloured icons, which will mean, if I understood correctly that the PCM is in 6.0.xxxx.
I'm also...
Alas no, i'm getting the car (2nd hand from Porsche Center) on 10th Dec, when I drove it there was only Apple Car Play (no Android Auto), and the icons are grey indeed if I remember correctly.
So I've built a "case" proving it's technically possible to do it, and pushing them to actually make...
Absolutely M. Taycan 4S, I have hard proof that the June 2020 model can have Android Auto : the Porsche sales guy himself found one in his database from March 2020 that was "upgraded" to include Android Auto in July 2022.
And I have seen other forums where users posted picture of when the...
Hi guys,
I'm hailing from France, I created an account just to say thank you so much for all the information delivered here !
I'm buying a Taycan Turbo (june 2020) from my Porsche Dealer, I started digging because it doesn't have the Android Auto function (I'm not Apple sorry lol), and the guys...
