So I’m guessing mine is working as designed. Bit of a turn-up for the books!

Do you have a Gen 3, or a Gen 2?

Internet radio only works for me if the internal Sim is disabled and I use an external wifi connection. Do you mean that you have subscribed to the £19/mth Data Package or some other method?

I am stumped at the moment with no live traffic and none of the functionality on the myPorsche App working although the car can do searches on Google so there is some connectivity functionality there.

The map on my car that now works is basically Google so if you have CarPlay running all the data comes off your phone. Ie If you change destination on your phone whilst in the car it simultaneously changes the destination on the PCM screen so must be getting the data from there.

I’m guessing maps will still work after two years so still not sure if it’s worth buying the £159 or whatever it is package after that date???

I will update other thread

But us Android users need to rely on the PCM Navigation for a built-in convenient experience
