- This video will show you how to use the set up assistant to create a driver profile and complete the Porsche Connect Activation Process in a Porsche Taycan
Best explanation so far on all the charging variations I've seen. Too many people struggling with this, the Porsche centres really need to give their customers some training/help.
David, this is how we fixed the issue 7:01 .....so try not to bump the button that says "private". Jan 20, 2023 .. AMC
Thanks!
You bet!
Everytime I start the car, it asks for my 4 digit code, is that normal?
I have a profile created for me as the owner. Can one be created for someone else who always drives the car too or do they have to be “guest”
I just got a preowned Taycan. Do I need to add the car to my Porsche account in order to set up the account on PCM?
seat settings are also saved into the account? meaning that when i load my account also the seat settings are fetch from the account and loaded into the veichle?
Paul please create a video how to use the PCM Media. In order to listen to apple music, get the best sound from the Boise system, bluetooth or use a usb c cable? Balance speakers etc. thanks!
I always recommend plugging-in your iPhone with an USB-Type C cable to Lightning to experience the full potential of your Bose surround sound system.
Paul - great video. I just received delivery of my Taycan 4S but the login button at 1:42 in your video remains grey for me and if I hit the grey button it says "Function not available". I have tried changing my password to be under 10 characters with an ! as others have recommended but it remains grey and I am unable to login. I can only use the guest account. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Marco Oballa please contact your selling Porsche dealership. They will be able to assist with the resolution of your issue. You can also contact 1-800-Porsche.
@@paulsteinbruner2129 Thanks Paul - is this a common issue? I tried calling the 1-800 number but they were not very helpful
Marco Oballa can you send me an email and hopefully I can assist?
I have the same issue 992 GT3… the login button won’t work… it’s there , but there is no light in it as active, to be able to push it… and go through…
Paul, thanks for the very informative video. I did hear your comment about the Taycan Hotspot only being used for some car settings and that 2020 do not support data. Is there a chance that will be changing in a future software update for 2020 models? Mine is arriving in November and I appreciate the data hotspot feature even in my Chevy Bolt EV.😉
Ron B unfortunately, MY20 Taycans are not capable of transferring internet data via the WIFI hotspot.
@@paulsteinbruner2129 that is sad news indeed. What do you hear about Access to videos while car in Park from either flash drive mp4 or streaming services?
All connected, Paul, but is there a way to have the passenger display come on as the default instead of having to go in and turn it on?
Charles Jacobus unfortunately my Taycan doesn’t have the passenger display, however I know there are different options in the display section of settings. While driving, someone needs to be seated in the passenger seat for the passenger screen to work.
@@paulsteinbruner2129 Thanks, Paul. I thought a passenger might have to be sitting there
@@ChuckJ1944 Hi Charles, i have an answer to your question. In the lower-mid screen, where you would adjust your A/C temperatures and etc. There's a ''power button'' that you can press, it's located in the bottom right corner. After pressing that one, some options will pop-up on the PCM (main screen). You can pick either you can set the screen in rest mode or always on, etc.
@@karlvenklaing2996 Thanks Karlven, I had already found that and turned it on. Chuck
@@paulsteinbruner2129 Is it possible to condition the traction battery when it is plugged in so that when you start on the trip the battery will be at the proper temperature?
First of all thanks for the great video.. I have a few questions, my taycan does not have LTE on the screen so i called porsche germany but they also did not return me with an answer yet but any suggestions ? Also my pcm screen is not letting me when i go to the Setup screen for the ID and the password screen.. But i was able to do that but now nope.. Any suggestions ??
Are you in the USA or Germany? I would suggest contacting your Porsche dealer for assistance.
Hi Paul, I am unable to create the driver profile with my Porsche ID and password. It appears that this is a common problem with no concrete solution? I even changed the password from my PC, and then repeat the process, but the log in button is still grey out and wouldn't allow me to proceed to the next step. Can you help? Thank you.
Contact Porsche corporate - they need to open a case with the Smart Mobility department. I had same issue and it’s been fixed after a couple of weeks.
@@simontickett25 Hi Simon, thanks for the input. I did open a case with Porsche and they told me that they did escalate my case to "Smart Mobility" department, but so far, no response. I guess I have to wait like you did. What did they do to fix the problem? I mean did they take you steps by steps to reset or manually do anything to the PCM to make it work?
@@totalplayer999 no step by step - I just noticed last night while driving home that the SOS button by the review was no longer flashing red, it had changed to solid green. When I got home I tried to log in using my Porsche Connect ID and it worked. I called Porsche twice and politely complained to them but they never called me to tell me it was fixed, I just figured it out myself when I realized the SOS button was no longer flashing red.
@@simontickett25 Thank you Simon. My SOS button still blinks red and I'm still waiting for Porsche Smart Mobility team to do something. The car is fantastic to drive, but this software glitch is frustrating.
Paul: Is it possible to condition the traction battery when it is plugged in so that when you start on the trip the battery will be at the proper temperature?
Yes, you can set a departure timer. I show how to do this in my charging settings video.
@@paulsteinbruner2129 So that conditions the battery as well as the temp in the car? Can you just go out and press the preheat button?
@@ChuckJ1944 yes it will climatize the cabin and the battery. You enable this feature from inside the car or from the Porsche Connect app.
@@paulsteinbruner2129 Thanks, Paul
My pcm is asking me for security code but I never created one is there a way to reset this?
Yes, you will need to login to your My Porsche account. Go to the top right where your see your name and the person icon. Select Personal Data, Login Security, Security Code.
Do you know how to get it out of privacy mode? I activated privacy and now cannot get to the login screen at all.
Click on the shield on the right hand side of the PCM (under the time). You then should then be able to turn off private mode.
@@paulsteinbruner2129 it’s greyed out. Can get to same menu via settings but can’t make changes
How do you set the second key - say for your wife to drive the car, rather than using guest as this doesn’t save seat settings.
Ken, you’ll need to create another Porsche ID for the second driver. This can be done using the original My Porsche account, add secondary user. Next, you’ll create another driver profile using the setup assistant as shown in the video. To pair a key to a profile all you need to do is use that key to start the car, activate the profile you want to pair and then shut off the car. The key will remember what profile was used last and will bring up that profile the next time that key is used to unlock the car.
@@paulsteinbruner2129 I am new to Porsche and my car is on order but I thought I would get a head start. I created an account on MyPorsche. I do not see anywhere on the website where I can add a secondary user. Also, you video makes reference to a PIN. If I go into my account settings (LOGIN and SECURITY), the text explanation says I can change my ID, Password or PIN but there is no field for adding or changing a PIN. I haven't registered a vehicle yet so maybe that makes a difference? Also, the account is in my name but the vehicle will be registered in my wife's name. Does that make a difference with adding it to MyPorsche?
David In Tampa hi David, when your Taycan is ready for delivery your dealership will send you an activation email where you will add your vehicle to your account and complete the setup steps you mentioned.
Why so complicated???
