I'm newish to the Macan community having acquired a 2023 GTS back in late May. Are these software updates delivered OTA or at the dealership? If OTA, how are you notified? I don't recall seeing any sort of notification.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hey there,
I have a 2020 Macan S with a software update to add Android Auto to vehicle.
I know it is on an application level and not in the firmware.
My question, have you heard or are aware of any issues with this aftermarket application software being effected by the Bose system update?
Any feedback appreciated.

There is no real notice that it is updated or is updating unless you happen to be looking at the screen while it is doing it -which I was. I think you can go into the PCM and see your current version and, I think, a list of updates.

It was annoying to me that my 2021 GTS had old maps and I thought I just had to live with that. I checked periodically for updates but there weren't any. Then I was driving recently and just happened to notice that something in my system was in the process of updating. I had seen that happen before, but I never got new maps out of it. Sure enough I got new maps for South Florida. I'm not really sure how these came into the car (OTA or WIFI) but it happened on its own without my prompting and without dealer involvement. I do have WIFI through AT&T but I doubt that had anything to do with it. Frankly, Porsche's connect services, which have various inexplicable names, are a mystery to me.
I have seen no changes to the Bose system.
Cheers.

Do you have your car connected to your phone via a hotspot? Or did you mean something else when you said you have WiFi through AT&T?
