I picked up my new 992.1 3RS over the weekend and it doesn't have the issue that my Carrera T does. I will take screen shots of the PCM hardware/software later tonight and post it, but I thought it is weird that it doesn't have this issue (ie, the actual arrow is visible on the left side of the screen and not hidden behind the steering wheel.

Is there a way to change this nav map so that the heading (arrow) is always pointed up?

 

i have not tried it yet, but according to the manual there is a setting.

for navigation direction i usually use my iPhone (carplay) and i already set the map to always pointing north

 

congrats on the GT3RS, please post the mandatory picture 😊

 

By "off topic" mandatory photo, you mean this I'm guessing? 😉. I'll post the "on topic" PCM photos once I get home.

 

nice stable !!! (you read my mind )

 

Here is the image you all are looking for that shows the difference between my two 911 builds (12 months aspart and one model year apart).

As I mentioned earlier, this is likely a hardware issue, with the LCD reporting incorrect parameters.

Porsche could probably issue a software fix that compensates for this, but they probably don’t want to exert the effort (and also pay dealers to updated affected users’ software).

 

Peer review -

I took a snapshot of all my parameters on my 992.1 build date April 2024, and I confirm all of mine match your affected Carrera T. That is very good data you've captured there.

 

I'm really curious why a 2024 T is running 2022 software, specifically the UI 14.10.22 compared to 12.02.24 (guessing those are euro format dd.mm.yy dates). If anything I'd dig in to that which seem problematic... and the PCM software version seems much older on the T.

 

My car has this issue. I forgot to ask them to look at it when they fixed a flat. I think we all need to report it and get our cars in. Otherwise, they may think it's a lot less widespread than it is. My car is a May 24 build.

 

This is a software bug, not hardware. I would press 100% to understand why a 2024 car is running 2022 builds. Any chance OTA updates for PCM are off?

 

Nope. I've received a few updates in the past 10 months. Many of the time they install when I'm not in the car, but once I caught it while entering the car.

 

I haven't yet RTFM on this, but is there a way to force an OTA update? Or see recent updates? I can't seem to find it poking around the PCM menus.

My cursor is far right as well.

 

Not that I'm aware of... This is not your "iPhone > Settings > General > Software Update" type of consumer device 😀
