Pity they couldn't get the size of the Info screen right.. 12.9" err no!!
That's nothing - i had the sales manager at my OPC telling me that the Gen3 S was 365 BHP on Tuesday!! I pointed out that it was 375 and he told me i was mistaken before walking to the info screen of an S in the showroom and saying "see 380 PS, that's about 365 BHP"
"Know your product" springs to mind...
You spoke to a sales manager? You talked spec? - this is much better than the service I got at OPC Guildford! Who cares if what they were saying was correct ;)

The sales execs are poor when you consider how few different models of car they sell. I’ve experienced similar at Guildford.

Also "Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work seamlessly..."

Does the Gen3 now have the latter?

Think I've seen that the latest Taycans have come with Android auto working, so possibly.

I have thought about getting mine unlocked via a gent on Rennlist, but don't want to cause any issues with warranty.

Yes but the Taycans are one generation on in their PCM and the 2022 Macans did not receive that upgrade by all the accounts I have seen

The Macan ll PCM has Android Auto "available", just needs turning on from what I understand. Think it was a dispute Porsche had with the amount of info Android wanted to see when it connected to the car, guess the legal dispute has been sorted now of the Taycans are coming with it.

Android Auto is implemented in PCM6.0
According to US Car & Driver
"PCM 6.0 will debut in the 2022 Porsche 911, expected in late 2021 or early 2022, before reaching other models."
I don't know what PCM version is in the UK Gen 3 at the moment.
