Congrats. All of the 2023 cars that I have helped code had the 2021-2022 map preloaded. I have not seen any preloaded 2022-2023 maps yet.

I can't get the SD card to run. It's a brand new 64gb card. Formatted it to Fat32. Downloaded the AIO file to my computer. Then unzipped it directly to the SD card. Inserted in the car. Waited about 2 min, nothing happened. Put SD card back in my laptop and erased it. Then took the downloaded AIO file and copied it to the SD card. Then unzipped it again directly onto the SD card. Other than the zipped file and unzipped file, there is nothing else on the card. Inserted it into the car and nothing. Once I insert it, on the PCM screen it says SD card installed so it's seeing the card but the update isn't running. Any thoughts?

Maybe download from the site again from scratch. Perhaps it didn't fully or properly download. I used a 32 Gig SD card too... maybe try a smaller card? Lastly make sure you format the card before copying the files over.

Westcoast

I would gone with a 32GB car if possible, I can see if I can get my PCM to recognize a 64GB unit, did you partition the card, not sure how this would look to the PCM?

What is the exact name of the AIO file that you are trying? The 'only' thing on the card should be the unzipped files, nothing else. What year of 718, OEM NAV or not, CP or not?

I can grab a 32 card if needed. When I got the 64gb it wouldn't format into FAT 32 so I downloaded MiniTool Partition Wizard and was able to format into FAT32, but single 64gb partition. I just repartitioned it to a 30gb. I'll unzip the files to it and see if it will work when I get home tonight.

I tried it first with only the unzipped files and it didn't work. Then I thought maybe I need the zipped file on the SD card along with the unzipped.

It's a 2017 718 Base with Carplay but no navigation.

Westcoast

That file should be good, in fact I have assisted and done multiple cars with that exact version. Yes, you only need the extracted files on the SD card.

Once extracted, check this file name, there should be no "_" in front of Swdlautorun

mtregan

Yes, I have Swdlautorun with no _ before it. I'll give it a go when I get home. If it doesn't work, I'll get a smaller SD card and try it.

Westcoast

You can manually kick off the upgrade via the PCM screen as well, see post #2 in this thread.

Thanks, worked without any apparent hitch!

MY2021 GT4 already had the antenna and some preloaded 20'-21' maps

Unsure if already tried but i'm pretty sure that the instructions say that you have to wait and it will seem like nothing is happening. I think when i did the install i had to wait about 10 minutes before i saw the Porsche logo appear. As long as it says SD card inserted then it should kick off the install automatically.

Westcoast

Cool, thanks for the feedback! Did your car come with Car Play?

zmah

Yes, I already had the carplay option.

I would also try a different brand for your SD card. I don’t remember which brand but one time it would not run on a car I was coding. The last few cars I helped code, I used Amazon Basic brand without any issue.

Westcoast

thanks for confirming, we have found ordering CP nets a GPS antenna and some pre-loaded maps.

Of course, you know that you can download the latest maps and apply them as well.

Westcoast

Good point!

Also, I have had trouble with MicroSD cards in adapters, both for code loads and map Database loads, it wasn't the card but a faulty adapter.
