Latest Taycan Software Update Findings and Reviews Thread

[nikc]

At my dealer for an unrelated issue today.

They said they were postponing the (edit: not ANA6, the cluster 37) update. Apparently they'd done it to four cars, and it had bricked two of them.

I figured I'd start a fresh thread for us to share findings on the new software.

So far things I've noticed:

• Apple Music sparks right up and works a lot more reliably. This is -without- the wifi hotspot feature, which expired for me and I didn't renew.
• Apple Podcasts are also substantially more reliable. There were specific shows that the old version flatly refused to play; they now work well.
• The park assist beeptone is slightly different now.
• I checked out the charger search and filtered to 100kWh+ - found an EVSlow charger in Murphy TX that I didn't know existed.

Things I haven't yet checked, but I expect probably work now:

• Does dynamic lighting now work with SiriusXM and Carplay?
• Are trip "calculation thresholds" increased? Can I set a trip from Frisco TX to Flagstaff now and have it work rather than time out?

So far the overall responsiveness and fixes are making me quite happy indeed.

Is the big PCM update the same thing as the ANA6 update/recall that was recently announced? My Taycan is getting the fix applied but the mechanics were confused when I asked.

Yes

I almost hope they don't fix the random appearance of German on startup – Ziel Suchen. I consider it part of the personality of the car at this stage!

Whenever I saw that I thought to myself "your developers Zeil Sucken."

I always assumed they never saw the bug as they were all running the PCM in German on their desks anyways.

No.

No.

This confuses me, people that have received the ANA6 are saying it is, but then I am reading on the forums it is not. HELP!

Does my 2020 require a cable link for apple Music or can I do it bluetooth. I'm stupid with this. m

ANJ8 is the major update.

With my 4S, driving sport all the time, I got over 17% improvement in autonomy, moving from 310Km to 360Km

Wow! Do you have the standard battery or the larger one?

WNJ8?

If you read the entire topic it'll become clear.
It's ANA6, WNJ8 etc, it totally depends on what MY the car is.

@obxckw There is a prior post or two by @W1NGE that answers your question in detail, but I am unable to locate it.

This was my understanding. MY22 get the ANA6 designation.
