VR28.13 Software Update

[USMA81]

Free. Yes, only at a dealer. Any dealer should be able / willing to do it. My update took one day (next day because I had other work done, but update was done in one day).

At any Porsche dealership and free. You should call and schedule an appointment. Or do it through the My Porsche app. When you schedule the appointment request a loaner. It takes a few hours but they will probably keep the car for a day or two.
Now, I personally would recommend to wait a while as there are a few reports of inability to charge at home after the update. As long as your vehicle is doing fine there is no need to rush. Let Porsche work out all the kinks.

The update has been reliable, but today as I was charging at EA, this was the battery screen. It continued to charge, was drivable, and it later returned to normal after shutting down the vehicle for a few minutes. So still some bugs in the software.

How do I do the update? Does it have to be at the dealership? The one near me is not the one I bought the car at, would they do it for free (and give a loaner) or do they charge for it? Also is it gonna take more than a day?

Has to be done by the dealer. I don’t believe you have to take it back to the dealership you bought it from. As long as it’s a Porsche dealership and your car is still under warranty, you should be able to get it done for free. I am not 100% sure, but you could call the dealership closer to you to confirm.

I just received an email from Porsche notifying me about the software update. I am somewhat hesitant in view of a few owners reporting AC charging difficulties following this update. I think I may wait a bit, at least until they find the reason and there is a fix for this problem.

SW update/other recalls completed last Friday...
So far...no issues.

Even hooked it up to the TUWC on Saturday out of curiosity....no issues

No issues after updates here too ..

So far the only error message I’ve received since installing the latest software update on my 4S is the “doors will not automatically lock” warning. Hopefully this update permanently fixed the recurring “assistance systems limited” warning.

“doors will not automatically lock”

This is the standard message for leaving the car with the 'keep it turned on' option enabled. Do you get it at other times? It does stick around when you get back in the car, so selecting that message tube and hitting the back button is necessary to clear it to get back the default tube content.
