Looks like someone gets a trip to the local Porsche dealership...I hope yours is close and you have the time...I retired and have more time than I know what to do with.
Something is definitely off...It could also be a priority issue with which connection is taking primacy, and what functions are available.
The one day argument your service advisor might give you is no longer valid. Hopefully they can get this resolved for you, and maybe they got a fresh shipment of new P-cars to look at while you wait...my dealership got a new CAB GTS (Chalk) that looked great.
Sorry to hear you are having problems...

Problem solved. Starting in the 2018 model year, traffic and other data services can only be activated by Porsche, not the SIM you put in the dash. There is now, beginning in 2018, an embedded SIM that is activated once you register and get an activation code from PCNA. For the 2017 that I previously had, all I had to do was put in a live external SIM. Now the external SIM is only for WIFI hotspot.
Thanks. Any questions, please let me know.

MY17 991.2 have an undocumented SIM.
It is used for Security Services, Porsche Car Connect from your iPhone and who knows what else. You can remove the SIM card in the Dash and the Security Services and Porsche Car Connect will still work.-Richard
