Macan EV PCM — Tips and Tricks

[nulled]

Thanks, I have the same build number, but the Android security patch level is from December 5, 2023 and the Android kernel is January 26, 2024. Other cars I’ve seen on the dealership floor had more recent dates on these lines, but that’s the only difference I could find.

So maybe I’m behind on the Android version, but it says there are no software updates available when I try from the PCM

Pretty sure they haven't applied the update that was made mandatory by Porsche... You can't get it OTA.

Thank you, that's my assumption as well. The service department at my local Porsche seems to be relatively clueless for anything software-related so it's quite frustrating. Not sure how to escalate that yet.

They ought to have learned by now given the Taycan was their baptism of fire for the last 4 years.

So far, my dealership is telling me they can't do anything about the Android update, and I just need to wait for an OTA update, which I have a hard time believing. So my car is going to download an update that's probably GBs of data on a free 3Mbps cellular connection, when it decides the time is right?

It's not like the wheels are falling off, but it's a little frustrating to have an obviously outdated OS and no clear path to updating it.
