Got a really annoying problem, intermittently when starting the car DAB does not work, it just says ‘no signal’ and it doesn’t get signal for the entire journey.

Switching the car off and starting again it suddenly finds a signal and works.... annoying the crap out of me.

Anyone else have this issue?

Not for DAB - but have had similar for USB & surround cameras

Never had any problems with it.

Do you have any Dashcams fitted as they may cause interference?

Mine does that with DAB very occasionally - it's just DAB on the radio, FM remains fine.

But I do get the same kind of issue more often with Google Earth maps (via Connect Plus and supplementary SIM of course). Sometimes the car just doesn't seem to recognise that it's got access to GE at all (though it still knows that there's a SIM there :? ). Other times same symptom - no GE available - but GE IS accessible but has turned itself off in the settings and has to be re-enabled manually.

Can't say I'm very impressed by the standard of the Connect initialisation processing - Porsche may have good engineers, but that doesn't seem to extend to their programmers (or to whoever they might contract out their programming).

Saffa,
my car did exactly this from new. After a couple of attempts to fix the issue with PCM reboots and an areal change by the OPC they went for a complete PCM change. That sorted it and ever had the issue again after that in nine minths.
