Hi all,

I've recently bought a 2018 Macan S and I cannot find any way to stop the PCM notifying me with an annoying 'ding ding' every time a email comes through to my phone.

I am able to turn the notifications off by going to 'Set Phone', 'Tone settings' and unchecking the 'Signal tone for messages' box, but every time I restart the car the box is checked again.

Porsche Silverstone seem to think the notification cannot be turned off permanently, but I somehow can't believe that is correct - does anyone know a solution? (apart from leaving my phone at home!)

Would appreciate anyone's assistance on this, thanks,

Phil

I get a notification from the PCM for incoming text messages, don't recall ever getting an email when in the car so not sure about them but expect they'd be simikar. Does switch the alert off on your phone not work or are you wanting the phone to ping but not the PCM?

Hi all,
Thanks for comments - I don't use Car Play (my phone is a Samsung S9, Android).

I'm not sure but I hope I may have worked it out - although I have all notifications for the email program I use (Samsung's) turned off, gmail is on my phone too (I don't use it, but it's there anyway - I guess that's thanks to Google not giving me any choice) That did have notifications allowed, so I've now turned that off and will test to see if it's done the trick...watch this space.

Assume you have your android connected to PCM via bluetooth?
