Default Anyone know what this PCM symbol means?

I think it's either related to the Burmester system or the iPhone but I can't seem to find an explanation anywhere ... and it's kinda annoying me... doesn't even look like anything that would help you understand what it means. Any thoughts?

That’s the symbol for the Qi inductive charging standard.

^ I thought the 992 doesn't have inductive charging?

That’s definitely Qi wireless charging standard logo. Wiki
I hope there’s a hidden charger somewhere in the car

Me too! I specifically asked if there was wireless charging and was told there wasn't. I'll try it out - though I'm not sure what is being charged given the phone isn't in the glovebox, but sits in the cup holder usually (I assume where the wireless charger is in the glove box...)

Now thinking more about it (and also being a software engineer), it’s more likely a software bug that causes the icon to show up. Assuming wireless charging is available in other models, Panamera or Cayenne.

I think you're right. I don't know of a wireless charger and the icon pops up while the phone is plugged into a wire charger so it makes no sense for it to be charging wirelessly, particularly, as I mentioned, that it's not physically in the glove box
