Default PCM Update?

My SA called to tell me that there’s a PCM update that my car needs and I may not be able to take delivery Monday as planned. They are hoping the software is released Monday morning to perform the update and allow me to take delivery. Has anyone heard anything like that? He didn’t have any more details.

Mine already downloaded a PCM update already via OTA. So, I am not sure what your dealer hold up is -- these cars appear to receive updates automatically.

I can say that the software provisioning and setup was the slowest part of the delivery process. I was done with the transaction itself in like 10 minutes. Then, 1h 30m waiting for activation codes, etc. Not the dealer's fault. These things are just more technically demanding to configure out of the "box".

Oh, in another thread, it's been noted that Porsche is updating its servers this weekend. Hence, if they're trying to get you provisioned, it's not going to happen. Hence, your wait until Monday.

Thank you. That makes some sense as I thought the updates were OTA. I appreciate it!

It happened while I was driving and it popped up on screen. The update was around 380MB.

The only updates i received over 10.000 km done with a car is Navigation map updates. Didn't noticed that car ever updated the software of PCM.

It all seems to be happy today — no issues. Dealer followed up with me and confirmed that there was an issue over the weekend.
