Yes but the Taycans are one generation on in their PCM and the 2022 Macans did not receive that upgrade by all the accounts I have seen
Android Auto is implemented in PCM6.0
According to US Car & Driver
"PCM 6.0 will debut in the 2022 Porsche 911, expected in late 2021 or early 2022, before reaching other models."
I don't know what PCM version is in the UK Gen 3 at the moment.
That agrees with my understanding and PCM 6.0 required an increase in processing power and with the semi conductor shortage that was not implemented in MY 2022 Macans

But as I've said above, Android Auto is possible on the earlier PCM, it just needs to be activated. So I don't think it has anything to do with processing power.

I did not say android auto was not implemented because of a lack of processing power. I said due to that PCM 6 was not implemented on Macan MY 2022 . If Porsche is tieing, however unnecessary, the android auto release to PCM 6 branding then that becomes the reason for the delay probably due to shortage of resources in Porsche to make too many changes at once

Ah sorry. From what I've read, PCM6 isn't possible in the current Macan platform cause Pcm5 is old hardware.
Plus, I bet they want to keep it for the new cabin on the next Macan.

Hit the volume sign which is to the right of the play/pause sign bottom left of the screen.
