Hello All,
Took delivery of a new (to me) MACAN last weekend. Really liking the car so far. Couple of questions...
For info its a 17 year model and it doesn't seem to have a SIM slot.
The PCM NAV isn't working and Im guessing its because I need to register first?
Also, Can I use the hot spot / data plan on my phone rather than signing up to a Porsche service?
PCM & NAV
Welcome!
Difficult to say, but there is a possibility that you may not have the Nav module on the PCM depending on the actual build date........there is no need to register for basic Nav, only for connect / connect +, again depending on what your car is equipped with.

Mines’ a 17 Macan. It had no SatNav, but it has CarPlay.Wh00sh wrote:Hmm, OK, weird that it has Appleplay but not NAV.
CarPlay (using Google Maps) is far superior to the Porsche Nav anyway
You can have SatNav retrofitted at an OPC, but costs £2000 ish. Crazy money....

As per your other post - it was optional back then so possibly never fitted. (Salesman bullshitting rather than saying he doesn’t know. You can’t “disable” sat nav)

It is possible to retrofit navigation from outside of Porsche.
Need to add GPS antenna and activation of navigation in PCM.

Slightly going off piste here and may sound like a Muppet but is it possible to fit your own SIM card witha data bundle that you have pre paid and would this be preferable to the Porsche online experience? I hope that makes sense?
