MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

[Degenatron]

Innodrive way smoother (!)

Yellow car at startup dissapears sooner

Can you comment any more on these specifically?

• The yellow car where?
• What makes innodrive smoother?
  • Innodrive acceleration
  • when braking
  • in response to other cars? (I find it brakes excessively hard when the car in front brakes)
  • Lane keep assist? e.g lane centreing improvement? (not hugging one side, in some situations it does this)

I'm looking for any updates I can add to this thread to better document the changes included in this update. There are a few reports of Innodrive improvements elsewhere, but without a direct comparison pre & post update changes remain subjective. Same goes for reports of adaptive suspension comfort.

Changing gears: better response

This f***s me off no end when manouevering - I would say its as high as 1 in 2 times, the car does not shift into reverse even after forcefully pushing the damn lever all the way upwards, yet the car still remains in drive and then without knowing you lurch forwards instead of reverse... Honestly embarrassing!

I believe the 'yellow car' is the one icon on the lower mid dash, when you first start the car, I think its forward collision system indicator (but I could be wrong).

Currently, it stays on for a while until you drive long enough, then it goes away.

I don't believe there is ANY improvement to this, the warning light for this seems to be on for the exact same amount of time as before, and any improvement to this is a placebo.

Sometimes it was on for 5 minutes, now hardly over 30 secs. So far for your placebo.

I think it has to do something with faster / improved calibration after a cold start.

I experienced the same with the gears. It’s a miracle I didn’t bump into anything.

As far as the innodrive, lane keeping assist (with the green steering wheel active) is far less bouncy from line to line. Braking / acceleration didn’t trigger me.

I can with 100% certainly tell you that not any one example (mine or yours) proves anything. It's not a personal challenge to your experience. This is why started my sentence with "I believe..."

I have not had the forward collision yellow light at startup improve in any way that is notable. I can drive for 3 or even 4km (upwards of 5 min in residential streets) after leaving my garage - before it turns off.

If you're hitting the freeway soon after you start your drive, maybe there is a difference (or read that as a different start to your drive), it could explain your experience being different.

Innodrive way smoother (!)
Changing gears: better response
5G instead of 4G
Yellow car at startup dissapears sooner
Air suspension is quicker, auto lift at home
Less to none white / yellow warnings
Auto-lock when ac charging more consistent in locking

Side question....I notice that innodrive is no longer in the configurator. It looks like it has been replace by an option called "driver assist", yet in the discription this new option appears to have more capability. For example the new system seems to signal you when you can change a lane and activily offers that to you where as I think the original innodrive did not do that. For people who spec'd innodrive did this (or will this) be upgraded to the new driver assist capability or is innodrive now a legacy system limited to a subset of driver assist capability with no upgrades planned? I googled this and did not find a definiative answer.

Update on my car - the dealer tried to upgrade to the latest software version that is supposed to fix the issue that was failing the upgrade and it’s still failing… they will escalate to Porsche Engineering… anyone else is experiencing that?

My car has been at the dealer since December 5th.
Seems the update bricked one or many of the car's computer.
They had to escalate the matter to Porsche Canada to get permission for certain interventions. Nothing solved yet.
