2022 Porsche Taycan adds Android Auto, auto-park option and new colors
Porsche Taycan EV is hardly in technology, but the car maker gives 2022 Taycan and two times 2022 Taycan Cross Turismo Cousin a gadget upgrade for the new model year. Perhaps the most demanding feature that finally arrived was support for Android Auto in the Porsche infotainment system, where he joined the existing Apple Carplay integration.
It should be noted that Android Wired Auto, so you have to connect your Android phone via the Taycan USB-C port. Another change in the Porsche Communications Management (PCM) system will include an increase in the sound control of the sound pilot, with the car maker saying that it must be better in understanding natural language orders.
Planning routes in the navigation system must be faster in my22 cars, and UI has been reworked with new graphics. The center touch screen now shows five menu options on the left, not three as in the current PCM 6.0 version, and the icon can now be reset by the driver too.
Remote Park Assist is offered to the Taycan family for the first time with the new year model. It will allow it to maneuver from parking spaces remotely, from a paired smartphone. The driver does not need to be in the car at that time, and it must work with a parallel spot and perpendicular.
Taycan and Taycan Cross Turismo use their ultrasonic sensors and parking cameras to track the dimensions of space, surrounding obstacles, and whatever is needed to map the path. Meanwhile, the driver must hold the finger on the button in the Porsche Connect application so that the car finishes the maneuver. If they let go, Taycan stops for salvation.

Using a turbo charging planner, for example, the high voltage EV battery can be heated to a higher temperature than before, said Porsche. The result is that there is fast charging can be done faster, and at a higher level, to cut the overall charger time. Porsche said it also made the heat use of a larger electrical system to adjust the battery temperature.
Outside, Porsche plans to add some more distinctive colors to Taycan and Taycan Cross Turismo options. Paint to sample includes 65 different options – including Moonlight Blue Metallic, Green Acid, Rubystar, Riviera Blue, and Viola Metallic – while painting into samples plus allows for color matching. If the buyer has something they really want new EV to match, Porsche can make special paint for it.
