I let my subscription lapse 10 months ago as I found myself not using it.
I'm driving the Macan to South of France monday and tempted to renew my subscription as I like the Nav terrain & Live traffic. Question is can I get Live traffic with Waze & Google Maps? I remember the app and connect services being quite poor for the price and it'll also cost me a daily roaming charge of £2.00 for my Data sim.
If I renew is it an immediate reactivation ? or codes and problems? as it was when I first paid the fee and subscribed!!?
So stick with carplay and use Waze or Google maps or subscribe to Porsche Connect? tomorrow in the hope it'll be activated in time
Porsche Nav Connect etc
The fact that Sky are are on the same UK network does not mean they adopt the sane attitude to EU roaming. My understanding is EU roaming not free at Sky Mobile :-
"Plan to use your phone abroad?
Our Roaming Passport Plus pass (£2 a day) lets you access your UK data, calls and text allowances in over 55 popular holiday destinations, including the EU/EEA*, the USA, Australia and more. If you’re roaming in other far-away destinations, ‘Rest of the world’ roaming charges may apply."

I 'think' your Navigation subscription renewal would be pretty quick, minutes or a few hours I'm guessing rather than days. The Connect Store FAQ says 'When is an ordered service available in the vehicle?
Services you have ordered will be displayed in the PCM the next time you restart your vehicle provided your vehicle is connected to the Internet.' Updating the French maps OTA might take a little longer but is doable and advisable.
But if you do go the third party app route just don't get caught using it for speed cameras. Penalties in France can be severe!

Good luck.
It took about three moths to renew my lapsed Connect+ service.
The My Porsche app required proof of ownership, but the app would not allow any action.
Had to upload the info via My Porsche website, and then the system sat there with a “Information being checked” splash page.
Three months later nothing, had to do it again and after a couple of weeks it worked, well sort of, live traffic etc works a treat, Sat Nav updates do not work it just sits there.
As for a DATA SIM there are preloaded SIM’s out there, mine is with Three and something like 24Gb valid for 2 years, for a one off £36 or there about.

I've renewed ...... Nav available immediately. Better look into updating Lower Brittany now !Nuclear Nick wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2023 7:27 am I 'think' your Navigation subscription renewal would be pretty quick, minutes or a few hours I'm guessing rather than days.

I think you're correct!! Porsche Connect Services do not work when roaming in France. Car will not connect to PCM sim "Porsche Connect Services Currently not available".Col Lamb wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2023 9:07 am Good luck.

I really can't be bothered with the hassle of waiting months on end to get services activated, which I can get on apple carplay for nothing. It's lucky I have apple car play here on holiday in France and I didn't rely on Porsche Connect !!!! I'll contact them for a refund

^^^^^ Porsche Connect Services does work in France, as my Macan was receiving traffic and map updates, whilst on holiday in France during the past three years, so I think your problem may be an activation one.

+1, or some other issue at least. My Connect services worked fine in France, both with the embedded SIM and now with a Three pre-paid SIM. Could it be Roaming not turned on?
In the PCM, select Phone/OPT button/Set Phone/Data connection - set Roaming to on with a tick in the check box.
