OTA software update , does it work ?

[Mr_Frenchy]

Don't have my Turbo yet, expected end of Jan.

I was wondering if Porsche has managed to perform any OTA software update on the Macan yet ? Or do we still need to go to the dealer to get a software update
Clearly still few bugs to fix and improvements to make, OTA capabilities would be useful.

Allegedly, the big software delay at launch was to enable OTA. That said, I’m not aware of any software that has been pushed to vehicles.

I saw mention of at least two updates hitting vehicles in the UK.

I don’t think it was actually OTA updates (of the firmwareS and/or the PCM).
There were 2 map database updates In Europe (Eur_15 and Eur_16).

OTA Map update is already available on ICE (under subscription) but I can t believe Porsche still did not perform any software update over the air. We are in 2024 - they ve done million of kilometers to validate the Macam ev but "forgot" to have a stable/mature bootloader on release date... EV are computers on wheels!

Yes, that is the situation…

My SA mentioned that the recent 2025s from the factory have version 2.1 software, which includes OTA. Those have not been in the wild more than a month or so. Not much time for OTA updates.

You will get OTA for PCM updates for Maps, Calendar and basic / simple things (at a minimum as per any new Porsche these days) do not expect significant software updates (this has been a failure on the Taycan and problematic) - doubtful this was resolved for the Macan EV as full OTA is still not a thing on the J1.2 (MY25+) Taycan.

Instead expect campaigns (recalls or regular service intervals) where software patches will be applied when at the dealership.

I had two Teslas and the OTA updates were frequent and amazing. (I remember once many people were complaining that the font size for the outside temperature was too small -- BOOM! was fixed).

Since then I've had a Jaguar EV, a Cadillac EV and a Genesis EV, all of which promised OTA updates; none ever did.
