The only thing im looking for is to have the G icon so I can use that for navigation. I'm assuming PCM5 doesn't have that and thought this might add that.
The G icon?

I spent a fair bit of time trying to get that on my ‘20 car and couldn’t. I did find something on the web that essentially said it’s not on US market 992’s; if you find something different please do share!

Idk if you meant just on pcm 5, but it's definitely on pcm 6 in the US.

Ok cool. Then we're on the same page. So if we get this upgrade we wouldn't get this icon?

Curious, how’s that different from just using Google Maps? Doesn’t it search Google for locations?

Same. Does PCM 5 have Google maps?

You can use Google Maps on CarPlay, just download the G Maps app to your iPhone.

Or if you’re an Android user this hack will also install Android Auto on a 2020 992/PCM5.

True, however my Polestar has Google Maps native and it works really well, plus I use Apple Maps on my phone.

I don't really like Android Auto. Maybe I'm using it wrong. There's also an issue with sound degradation while using it to play music from my phone.

You need to have the Porsche Connect service subscription, and in my '20 Macan with PCM 5 I also need to wait a minute or two for it to log on. The 'G' icon becomes available at the same time the other apps do. I imagine it works the same in the 992s with PCM 5.

I do have the connect subscription, maybe the 992’s are different to the Macan.
