It shouldn't matter how you access.

Yeah, in the assistance screen, when you click on the CC mode banner on top you seem to get the same menu as the button push containing the ACC off option . It should work the same but I haven't tried it. The assistance screens change when in motion, however, and some options not available.

Yeah, same menu, no difference.

However, unrelated to that setting, the next day it magically came back. The location services are still all messed up (map is way off, no speed limit, etc), but ACC and LC are back. For the moment, anyway. The error message now says "limited" instead of "not available".

I didn't notice the "Assistance systems not available in this region" message this time. I wonder if it just depends on what randomly faulty location is car is producing when it's not working? I don't know what "region" it requires but some seem to not allow ACC to work either.

2 days later, now it's all suddenly working again. Map is correct, speed limit back, no error messages. Weird.

I had a service appointment scheduled next Monday, but I think I'll cancel it now. Our nearest dealership is far enough away to make it a chore if not really necessary.

Same thing happened to me on the 12th March. Yellow symbol warning then no speed recognition, no Sat Nav (It showed me in the middle of North Sea), no Google Sat Nav or location services or Apps that used this didn't work either, though Waze did work. It then cleared itself 8 days later, 20th March and eveything went back to normal.
In the meantime I booked an investigation at my local Stockport dealer that I decided to keep as hoping they could look back at the history to identify any underlining issues. Just left and they informed me that they have raised a ticket with Porsche who have advised a repair, unsure if this is hardware or software related, I will found out from the dealer in a few days.

On a short trip, my avionics started to degrade as many mentioned here. First the speed sign recognition capability stopped working. A short while later, adaptive cruise control failed off ( and I could find no way to get regular cruise control, not sure there is such a thing). Finally, a short time later, the GPS drifted to a fixed offset from my actual position. And the hotspot appeared to be down (could not get a radio app to work).

Made sure all exterior sensors were clean and tried rebooting PCM several times. Locked the doors and walked away for 30 min. Tried clicking the seat belt in its holder several times (saw somewhere that the seatbelt might have to be latched for smart systems to work). Cleared the cache and memory in the navigation system settings. Checked for an waiting OTA update, no joy. Finally called the dealer to make a service appointment.

Then two days later, took the car grocery shopping. Systems were down on the way there. Upon returning to the car 15 minutes later to drive home and EVERYTHING was working again! No clue how it healed itself. Will watch for further indications and report back if it happens again.
