PCM 997.2 screen question

PCM 997.2 screen question
Looking at getting a 997.2 and had a quick question. I recall that the older PCM screen (ala '07 / '08) would at times display the Porsche crest logo (I believe on startup of the car or switching on of the PCM). It looked really cool, but I don't recall seeing the crest logo appearing on the touch screen of the new PCM. Does the logo ever appear (or can it be pulled up) on the new PCM screen? Thanks!

It comes on when you start car but very briefly. I wish stayed on longer as i liked that on 997.1 but i guess 997.2 loads faster so screen goes away faster. Kinda like if you play old solitaire on new computer the ending cards flying around lasts 2 seconds versus 4 minutes in old pc's

It seems to only come on 'occasionally' when you start the car. I've not figured out the trigger.. maybe when the PCM reboots itself, or must cold start (ie the car went to sleep, was off for a few days)?

when the "trip" part resets, it comes on.. so basically when car cools down to cold and computer resets then it resets.. thats my experience.

Mine comes on occasionally - I have not figured out what triggers it. I was testing out my cell phone phonebook the other day - back and forth to the car - a few times when I put in the key, the logo came up - other times it went straight to the phone book search - seems random.

I think that I may have found the 'triggering' device. The system must be completely shut down via the volume **** (push down **** for a few seconds until screen goes black), the key removed from the ignition and the door opened and then closed followed by arming the system.
When you disarm the system and then start the car, the Porsche Crest splash screen should briefly show up.

Just as I thought. This procedure worked the day before yesterday and last night, I just couldn't get it to show.
This is worse than trying to find Waldo...

When dealers do certain things - do they reset the ECU or reset the electronics of the car?
I also saw in my Navi the the dealer's locations as added as one of the favourites - and the name had a Porsche logo next to it.
As an aside, what's the latest PCM version 1.47?

I think the latest version is 2.24:

1.47 seems buggy. I get fairly frequent, random PCM reboots while driving which causes the Porsche screen to display. This usually seems to happen when I'm using navigation.

My only thing is that the firmware should be upgraded on all cars when they're under warranty and being sold by the dealer.
Other than that, my v1.47 works perfectly fine. No glitches etc. One day I started the car and I couldn't hear the audio. So I restarted the car and it was fine. It might have been sufficient to re-start the PCM screen, but I hadn't realized at that point that holding the volume button down for a few seconds turns it off. Now I know!
