My Porsche app: New ‘Online Software Update’ / OTA Function?

[JohnG]

It is new, and isn’t greyed out in the UK, so presumably it’s live? Strangely I was on to the local agent on Friday about an update to the sign recognition which has been promised for almost 6 months. They said they now have that update and want the car in - yet again - to install it. My question is WHY? If this is available, why do they need the car?
They also say that there are another two recall items, a seatbelt clip, and a replacement plastic cover in the boot.
They want the car for the full day as they say each job will take 2 hours??

Interesting, have enabled the geofence alarm - works a bit like a tracker

The software update done by the dealer that updates a ton of different systems at the same time and takes multiple hours with the vehicle plugged in (and possibly 1-3 attempts) is not the same thing as the OTA available via the app that may install minor features (enable AI or beta features), update maps, etc, with small updates in the background.

Got chrono map and lift update yesterday. Don’t have chrono and not used lift so not sure what’s new.

How do you know? Did you get a notification with the details of the OTA update?

Update available in app centre. Haven't seen this before and thought it would enable some functionality. I didn't.

The phone app update is not needed to receive App Center app updates. Also, you can configure App Center to install updates automatically — that too is existing functionality.

I have had mine 'activated' since July and have not seen any changes.

Porsche UK has just sent me the update letter for WSJ0. Needs a 3-hour shop visit but it is free.
