PCM 6.0 update on new vehicles

[XLR82XS]

Picked up my car 3 days ago CT4 (MY22) and my dealer told me they have a big update for the car (will need two days to install) probably it is the one…

It's not a PCM 6.0 update. 6.0 not available as of now for current vehicles. I had the major update on my 2021 - it took ~1.5 hours.

This is incorrect. All Taycans have PCM 6.0 hardware. It is possible that 2022s coming this year are getting updated hardware (per what people have seen in part numbers), but even early 2022s have all shipped with the same PCM 6.0 hardware rev as 2020 and 2021. The new hardware rev for later in 2022 is still PCM 6, just an incrementally improved version that will now go to all Porsche models.

PCM 6.0 software version is a different question. 2021s shipped with updated software initially, as compared with 2020s, which included native Apple Music and Podcasts, as well as wireless CarPlay. This software was made available via "OTA", and 2020s then went in for a large dealer installed update (hours) that brought them to 2021 level (AMB5).

Later in 2022 there will be another update that adds Spotify, Android Auto, changes the look and feel, and brings other improvements. Whether or not that update will be made available to 2020 and 2021 is an open question, but it seems that it should at least be made available to early 2022 models that have already shipped.

The other massive "OTA" update 2020 and 2021 cars had to go in for was the power loss issue as well as the hazard light issue.

This PCM update better be an over the air update for all Taycans already in service. Presuming Porsche NA is watching this forum, please take notice.

THe service center here in Berlin just informed me that they will swap my entire CPU out because it kept giving me false error messages. I hope it comes with PCM6 ?
