2018 Porsche Macan PCM and Porsche Connect

[PMacanGTS]

Hello,

I’ve just collected a new Macan and I’m having trouble getting the Connect app to connect to the PCM.

I can connect my phone to the PCM’s wifi, but then when I try to login on the app on my phone, it can’t connect to login.porsche.com, presumably because the Embedded sim has no data connection?

When the salesman was setting up the PCM, he avoided setting it up to use my phones sim, and chose the embedded sim. Is there a way to disable the embedded sim, and force the PCM to take over my phone’s sim? I’ve just spent an hour trawling through the menus and can’t seem to find it.

Thanks

Just a quick update. I’ve ordered the 7GB data package through My Porsche, which was free. But no doubt they’ll want some coin for data once that runs out. And that’s why I’m not sure if the embedded sim is the way to go.

Many thanks, I’ll try changing the WiFi SSID and password and see how I get on.

I suspect I won’t use it much either, if at all. It just annoys the hell out of me when I can’t get stuff to work.
