Porsche gives the 911, Taycan, Panamera and Cayenne a faster new PCM

Porsche says the next generation of its PCM infotainment system, coming to the 911, Taycan, Panamera and Cayenne, runs on a new chip-based platform with as much as five times the processing power of the old one, according to Porsche's announcement.

The company says that should mean quicker start-ups and shorter load times, and apps will stay active in the background. CarBuzz notes that owners have regularly reported slow loading and glitches in the current system.

Oliver Seifert, Head of Infotainment & Connect at Porsche, calls it "a more powerful digital platform that combines enhanced performance, intelligent connectivity and a consistent user experience across multiple model lines".

Voice commands get an AI upgrade

Porsche says the revised Voice Pilot is built on a large language model and can handle natural speech, multi-step requests and follow-up questions. Porsche Digital Interaction extends the design and interaction language first used in the Cayenne Electric to the 911, Taycan, Panamera and the combustion and hybrid Cayenne. It adds a 3D model of the car that can be turned freely and shows the car's real paint color, plus five themes and configurable widgets.

Navigation Plus gets a 3D map and a Charging Planner. Apple Music with Spatial Audio is offered in selected Connect markets, and it needs a subscription and a Dolby Atmos-capable sound system. Porsche also promises broader over-the-air updates after delivery.

The system was already reworked once, in Porsche's March 2025 PCM update, which added the App Center, Dolby Atmos and Amazon Alexa for the model-year change.

What Porsche hasn't said

The new system will arrive gradually in newly produced cars, Porsche says, and availability may vary by market, model, production date and equipment.

For US buyers, the open questions are practical. It isn't known which model year or production date the new PCM starts with, whether existing cars can be retrofitted, whether it changes US pricing or option costs, or which features will be offered here.

Used 911 prices are holding steady

In listings we tracked through Nov. 12, the used Porsche 911 market shows 2,802 cars for sale at a median asking price of $180,000. Comparable 911s asked 0.3% less in November than in August, which is flat, and 2.7% more than in December 2025. A typical 911 takes 70 days to leave the market, and the market runs cool.

The Taycan reads balanced, with 416 for sale at a median ask of $67,000. So does the Cayenne, with 395 listed at a median of $84,300, where comparable cars ask 3.6% less than in December 2025.

Three Porsches ask well under fair value

A Gentian Blue 2024 911 Turbo with 21,591 miles in Clearwater, Florida, is listed at $198,533, about $58,000 under its fair value. It has been listed 95 days and cut five times, most recently on Nov. 12.

A Chalk 2023 911 Turbo S with 5,389 miles in Streetsboro, Ohio, asks $220,438, about $55,000 under fair value, also after 95 days. A white 2025 Taycan 4S with 24,515 miles in Pompano Beach, Florida, asks $92,197, about $20,000 under fair value, and has been listed four days.

Porsche hasn't said whether older cars can be updated, so don't count on a current car gaining the new system. You can search every 911 for sale with the best deals first.
