Default Infotainment Update

Is this an update for the PCM? Stories on Rennlist that refer to updates that cause issues. I've never seen this on any 911's. 'Paranoia self destroyer'.... The Kinks

Your thoughts?

Sorry but I'm not taking a bullet for the forum yet. I didn't download the infotainment upgrade. HaHa

Just do it. It’s software. If your car gets nerfed they can fix it with another update.

I checked last night and it shows that I am up to date. So either it does not apply to all cars or mine was done automatically (which I do have selected).

Updated mine yesterday. There are two updates, one was streaming services, don't remember the other ( I keep forgetting to take. a pic before I do updates.) I didn't see any difference in the UI but it was working fine this morning. I have the latest PCM with colored icons.

I think the vast majority of these OTA updates are nothing we'd notice. I keep mine on and haven't noticed anything changes since picking up the car.
