Control New Porsche Models via CarPlay: Here’s how


At last, a car company with a bit of sense: Porsche has gotten together with Apple so that the My Porsche App will be accessible within Apple CarPlay®. In other words, the German Sports car brand will be the first automotive manufacturer to allow better access to vehicle functions right there within an app in CarPlay®. Normally you must switch between the CarPlay system, and the native interface to make changes to settings.

“We are excited to further improve the My Porsche App and using the capabilities of Apple CarPlay to deliver a truly enhanced customer experience,” says Mattias Ulbrich, CEO of Porsche Digital and CIO Porsche AG. “Technology and digitization are crucial factors for the enduring fascination of our brand.”

The My Porsche App is the central nexus of digital management the Porsche. Drivers can view vehicles data on their iPhones, such as being able to see the state of charge of the battery, change air conditioning settings, and send destinations to the navigation system. Not only that, the My Porsche App links existing accounts with third-party providers, such as Apple Music®, to the associated apps in Porsche Communication Management (PCM).

The updated My Porsche App reaches into the inner sanctums of CarPlay®, with users able to access core functions centre screen. This makes the whole process faster and more convenient. Some of the functions available are adjusting audio settings, sound profiles, changing radio stations, adjusting settings for climate control and fenagling ambient lighting themes. All of this once meant a switch from CarPlay to the brand OS within the infotainment system.

Should you wish, you might also explore the wellness modes, such as “relax,” “warm up” and “refresh”, using settings within CarPlay®. Finally, the icing on the cake is Siri, which will give Porsche drivers the ability to control many functions using the Apple system to control their sports car. “Hey Siri, Temperature, 20 degrees.” Hoorah!

Owners need only to activate this fabulous new Porsche experience by scanning a QR code displaced in the PCM. The My Porsche App gets regular updates making sure that Porsche customers are always up to date with CarPlay features as they become available. This system makes its debut in the new Porsche Cayenne, available now. From then on, it will ripple through the entire Porsche range.
