Last year when I took delivery of my 718 the can used AT&T for Porsche Connect to talk with the car. Has anyone changed the system to a different provider? Like T-Mobile?

grazie

I have not. However, my '21 718 was not equipped with any PCM special modules or extras so I don't have nor use any of that in the GT4.

What I did find out when trying to see what I actually had and what I needed to do setting up the car when new was that the basic connect for that gen of PCM is/was through Vodafone which is a pain (or was for me) to initiate.

I'm thinking yours may be different however, so don't rely on what I just wrote above!

Arne2, J-dub, Larry C and others here will probably have an answer. :thumbup:

I think my '22 GTS 4.0 is the same as your GT4. The whole Vodafone thing was pretty crap. I bought the nav system. Dealer now says that updates are OTA. Not sure how that works without the AT&T or Vodofone connections.
