Critical systems usually have embargos on updates during holiday periods.
At Porsche? Lol
They are perfectly happy with leaving you without your car for the holidays and no replacement car. Has happened to me multiple times

...I expected the install would be completed when I locked and left the car then. I didn’t use the car until today, 31st. The message popped up again then when I parked up after a short drive. When I returned to the car the update completion message was there. Unclear to me why it didn’t work first time.
...
The usual cause of failure (visible only if one stays in the car after launching the update, despite the instruction is a low 12V battery voltage - the message says to go for a long enough drive and try again.

We all know @Rik_CT4s is trolling right? 😂
Ho ho...I am legit bro. Place your bets...Q1 2026 for Porsche to remedy while all their engineers have just digested their berliner sour bread after the NY celebrations? Or Q2...Q3? Year end. Seriously, they do not give a flying fark about this navi issue.

Fairly new to Taycan ownership as I've only had my GTS ST for 6 months or so.

The WST2 update notification appeared last week on my PCM but I dismissed it a few times as when it had appeared I was driving off to somewhere to do something. Figured I'd ignore it for a few days and update it when I had more time.

Decided to update it this morning, but it is nowhere to be seen. Looking in the Updates screen in the PCM it tells me the car is up to date. Looked in the Notifications screen and it tells me I have none.

Is there a way to get the OTA notification to appear again or is it the case that the car gives you a set amount of chances to update and then updates anyway?

Updates can also install automatically provided you park in a place with signal, they don't always request your approval.

Reminds me of Apple doing away with the updated list in the UI, have to use a secret key combination to reveal now.
Maybe PIWIS shows the list, it's too cold for me to check, will revisit in the spring.

If it did, it was leaked online for one of the previous updates. I have never seen one.

I tried to update this a couple of times but it seemed to fail as both my home parking garage and work parking garage have very poor signal.

I keep getting a notification that the update is available but when I click on it I now get "Function not possible due to an active process" - any ideas?

Park in a place with better connectivity for a bit?

The car has been in areas of good connectivity for days but still showed the "active process" message. I did the 2 finger engineering menu reboot this morning and it let me try the install again. When I left it it appeared to be installing...

The OTA process says you should push the install button; get out of the car; lock the car (no charging allowed); and walk away for 7+ minutes (I always give it twice as long).

Is this what you did, and it it still not installing? If so, then I’d call your dealer and have them force it.

Just got this update yesterday and ran it this morning after dropping my son off at school. Got the red ring, post update, as I attempted to leave for an errand this evening. Going to check in a bit to see if it’s a temporary one or if I get to say goodbye to this car for another three months as Porsche scrounges around for some cells.
