How to Reboot your Porsche Communication Management System | West Long Branch, NJ

What Is Porsche Communication Management (PCM)?

Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is your vehicle's infotainment hub, managing everything from navigation and Bluetooth to media, real-time traffic updates, Apple CarPlay, and more. This system connects you to your vehicle and your digital life, enhancing every drive with cutting-edge tech and convenience.

Why Is My PCM Not Responding?

If your PCM screen freezes, lags, or becomes unresponsive, it’s typically due to a software hiccup, not a hardware issue. Common signs your PCM may need a reboot include:

• Frozen or black infotainment screen.
• No response from touch inputs or physical controls.
• Navigation or audio systems are not loading.
• Delayed Bluetooth pairing or dropped connections.
• Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is failing to launch properly.

If you’re experiencing these issues, try a Porsche Communication Management reboot before booking service.

How Do You Reboot the Porsche Communication Management System?

Here’s a simple process to reboot PCM in most modern Porsche models:

1. Press and hold the PCM info button for approximately 10 seconds until the PCM reboots.
2. Immediately select the following from the PCM CAR > OPTION > Set PCM System > Reset PCM > Vehicle Handover > Yes > Yes

These instructions can also be found in your owner's manual. If you are still experiencing issues with your PCM, please call us at 877-721-6052.
