Afternoon Bentley/Porsche Enthusiasts

Afternoon everyone,

I'm an engineer from Britain with about 10-12 years experience working on software and hardware control subsystems such as ECU's, Infotainment etc. Noticed there seems to be some common problems that have appeared on certain Bentley/Porsche's, hopefully I can provide some tips and even some solutions to problems

Welcome to the 6! Not sure if this is in your wheel house but the sticky ***** on Porsche PCM systems is annoying!

Is that the new iteration or the older one? I think I'm right in thinking the old ones are loosely based on the design of the Bentley V8 Spur from around 2011-2016?

I'm speaking of the 2010-2016 range. I have a 2014 Flying Spur and the entire system is different - not the same buttons/*****.

Ahhh, don't think I came across this one... The Flying Spur one from 2014, is the one with the Grey and Orange ish UI ? I've worked with this one a bit. Solid bits of equipment

In fact, I think I may have one lying around somewhere.

Sounds fantastic. The W12 is truly a work of art in my opinion. I've only ever experienced the V8
