Default How do I configure the Home Screen?

I know, search google. Did that. I just got the car recently and everything I find online has the configure button on the top right, or with an upper horizontal bar on the Home Screen and multiple home screens can be added
On mine, the config button is on the bottom right and I can only choose the contents of 3 boxes. If I press the home button repeatedly, it switches from many little boxes, to three big ones and then back and forth. The three boxes can be edited only by their contents, not their sizes. Am I looking at this correctly?

PCM 6 stripped away much of customizability compared to the 20-21 cars.

As @detansinn says the MY22 cars have a different PCM to MY20-21 cars. Search for PCM 6, or Taycan PCM. That'll maybe give you something relevant to your car.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I think the latest version isn’t as customizable as the older version. I understand car companies trying to get away from physical buttons and ***** for cost savings, but this is ridiculous
Overall, I’m really thrilled with the car and The options I chose, but the pcm system isn’t easy to use. So far, I can’t fold the mirrors unless I attach that feature to door locking, and I don’t think (I could be wrong) the passenger gets their own vent configuration different from that of the driver. First world problems, lol

In my MY20 the left button below the side mirror controls will (just) fold/unfold the mirrors - I use it when I am driving into my garage and want to be very close to the wall. Is your MY22 different?

Do you have Active Connect Services and a Porsche ID Account?
If so, this is your resource for how to configure your Home Screen and much more.

My config buttons are on the bottom as well. I found the Online Manual in the My Porsche App to be quite helpful and really well done. Videos are a nice touch and so is the ability to search by typing key words.

Yes, mine has a little button for the mirrors also. However, I usually lock it outside the house in a parking area. So the mirrors get folded up anyway. So I’ll leave as is.

as for the extra comfort setting where the handle comes out as I approach the vehicle, I tried it but I don’t think it’s a safe feature
