NZ951

Hi Team

I'm looking to buy a 992 and also likely will be moving between regions and taking my 992 with me.

Are there any issues with the PCM doing that? Can it be configured easily for different regions?

Cheers!

Apart from the maps I’m struggling to think of anything that can’t be changed via settings. I mean all the units are configurable, that part’s easy enough. Are there export limits on NZ delivered cars?

It will be a UK car exported to NZ. Unsure if there is a solution for updating the maps?

Based on my own experience, the car seems to track where you drive and Porsche sends you (sporadically) OTA regional map updates based on which location you've been driving at. Pretty cool actually. Downside is that you'll never know, when they'll send you the updates and how long you need to be driving with not so up-to-date maps.

So, according to this, there shouldn't be any need to go to the dealer. You just start driving in NZ, and the maps will update themselves at some point. Of course, I am not 100 % certain about this, since the distance is so big but this is how the maps have been designed to work in theory and how it also has worked for me in practice between Northern and Southern Europe, for instance.

I can also see from my car's map versions listing (in PCM) that it has some version of maps all around the world as a default.

I was wondering is that was the plan - getting a manual? How did you go getting an allocation in the UK for that? It's something I've considered as I'm from Auckland originally, in the ideal world it'd be nice to pick it up at the factory and have a bit of a holiday too but not sure if that works with that scenario.

Re. the maps sorry but I'm not sure; here in the US they're loaded from factory of course and are updated over the air. I'd assume you'd need to pay a Porsche dealer in NZ to load them when you get the car there. Sorry can't help more with that - don't you wish for the old days when you could just buy the maps on a DVD.

from Germany to UAE, many issues. Wireless CarPlay & maps & Porsche ID stopped working, and dealer here WONT touch them, saying can't do anything about that. !
shocking to me

Unfortunately it's not the case. Countries like UAE wont work and the Porsche dealer didn't do anything saying they cannot change it ! its shocking to me

If the dealers won't help, use Google maps on CarPlay

This was surprising to me as well, but the CPM is very buggy once you change region. You may not care because of Apple CarPlay / Android, but you better never want to sell that car...
