Thanx- So I'm stuck with the bluetooth disconnects and random re-boots I guess. Must be a hardware limitation? Any other way to update?

Not that I know of. One of the quirks between the 2021.5 and the 2013+ models.

I have the same type of issue on my 2019 Macan S. One of the first builds of Gen 2 Macan, so no wireless Car Play, only wired. On the plus side, old USB plug-ins so I didn't have to go out and buy all new USB-C plugs.

Thanx for the quick responses Pavegeno928! I might look into one of those wireless CarPlay mods I've seen around. (BTW, I've had a few P-cars the last one was an 86.5 928, Miss that almost as much as my 914!)

Here's an ISO of the PCM update CD. I think others have used it, just burn it to a disc.

I want to say thank you for posting the ISO image! I burned it to a DVD-R at 4x on my iMac, and today updated the wife's Boxster S 2014 and my Cayenne GTS 2013 to PCM 3.1 v 4.76. The update on both took about 15 minutes and went without a single glitch.

Back to OP's question:
Anyone have an idea what changes come with 4.0 beside making it NAV TEC camera compatible?
I have v3.43 also and wonder what v4.x brings. Do all 4.x have jukebox, or is that hardware dependent?
I read PCM3.1 to PCM4 is not trivial, but is PCM3.1 v3.43 to v4.x a plug-and-play swap?

Default Update was flawless - 4.75-4.76

Thanks to person who posted the ISO. I tried to pay Porsche $200 to perform the update, but they said I was up to date. I then got the ISO, my one from with a dvd burner burned me a disk, and I did the update myself in the exact amount of time it took to drive from my buddy's house to my house.

Can I tell a difference? Well, no, but I feel better.
