Here's my 2021 C2S. The dealer just updated the PCM software per Campaign #: WLK9 as that may account for any/some differences.
Thanks for this. My 2020 C2S has been running this older version since I took ownership in July and no newer software was available from my dealer visit on Dec 4. It sounds like there is now a PCM update (your POG35_P2841 vs. my POG35_P2656), but I'm still waiting for my service advisor to reply and confirm.
Mine updated automatically Over The Air (OTA) a few days after I had the car. Took maybe 3 or 4 minutes.
Same here. I wonder if the dealers just let that happen when they do their pre-delivery stuff. Or are they required to load the maps in region rather than be done at the factory?

Curious... why did they update it? 99% of the time dealers dont look for updates or campaigns unless you report an issue? Did you have an issue? Irvine Porsche?

I took mine to Circle Porsche in Long beach for the buzzing noise I was/am having with my passenger side door card. While I was there they (their Service Management System) checked the VIN in the Porsche system database and came up with these campaigns that needed to be done. Frankly, that's how a dealer's Service Department should function. Any car that rolls through your doors should be checked for any outstanding campaigns, recalls and based on time and mileage intervals, any recommended maintenance. It shouldn't require a customer complaint to generate such a search. Many OEM Service Management Systems (Ex: Reynolds & Reynolds) do this automatically when a Repair Order is generated. Some aftermarket Service Management Systems do this as well, although their access to OEM data is limited to that which is in the public domain ie NHTSA and such.
FWIW, some dealers and independants use systems that will scan your license plate as you arrive and (if you're in their Service Management System) they'll have all this sort of information pulled up before you even open your car door.
