Has anyone in the US received the ARB6 OTA update? I have seen ARB7 in the forum not ARB6....

Today the car displayed a message that an OTA update was available. I'm under ARB6. No mention of a specific recall or workshop campaign in the instructions displayed but it sure read like the battery monitoring software. I followed the instructions to initiate the install and got absolutely no indication that it was proceeding. The car's message stated that you would know the install was complete when the yellow indicator went away. No install indicator was displayed so I gave it a little extra time (15 minutes) and hoped for the best. Notifications now showed the install as complete. Download and install process seemed glitchless. ARB6 recall already removed from the Porsche website.

So to answer your question it appears that Porsche is getting around to pushing out the software update to ARB6 vehicles.

I have reviewed my car's service history (I bought it second-hand), and there is a campaign listed as 'ARB6Z - Checking HVB cell modules and re-programming BMCe software.' It appears multiple times as 'Campaign not feasible.'

Could someone explain what the 'Z' stands for in ARB6Z?
Also, why is this campaign marked as 'not feasible'?

For context, I am on software version 3882, the car was purchased directly from a Porsche Center, and my Privacy Mode is set to inactive. I'm just curious why it says 'not feasible.

The software for ARB6/ARB7 has been delayed, so for example in the month of may, when you went to a dealer, the ARB6/ARB7 would be open for your car ... but the dealer couldnt update the software because it wasn't available yet.

Finally. I thought Porsche forgot about my car.

... but the dealer couldnt update the software because it wasn't available yet.

So it could pop up any day then.
