A good thwack - rebooting PCM occasionally…

as with all computer systems a good solid reboot/restart fixes a multitude of niddily issues - in my 2024 Macan Turbo EV I'm finding that if I reboot the PCM once/twice a month - things just go smoother - fewer faults and bugs from my impression…

hold the volume knob (center console) down for 30+ seconds - and let the PCM reboot - and it behaves so much better for me in the few days/weeks…

just sharing my observations.

YMMV my $0.02

The central screen in my brand new Macan 4 went dark on day 3, embarrassingly, right as I was embarking on a 2-hour drive with friends. We made the drive without music or directions, due to the glitch. I Googled and learned about the center volume button reset fix. No issues in about a week since I tried it. It does seem like rebooting a confused PC.

I agree this is good advice.
Feature request: Enable Porsche owners achieve the same effect as detaching the 12v for a few seconds (a hard/full reboot) via a simple button.
