While I do not think these features are ground breaking – it is a little bit frustrating that us European users are lagging behind. Including introducing the new EV Routing in Apple Maps. I can understand a phased rollout – but we're waiting months now for some of these features.
The lack of EV routing might actually be an issue with Apple Maps, though. Is EV routing with Apple Maps available for any other brand in Europe?

Automotive classic: if American people understand the update, it will not be a problem in the rest of the World. They get to test it first, we get to use it when it’s problem free.

It's live in the UK, need to update Porsche App and reboot for it to show up in CarPlay. Anyone worked out how to add Spotify yet??

Nice to have some new features though!

Benefits of having climate controls available via CarPlay include:
  • They can be scripted,
  • They can be voice controlled via Siri (although already voice controlled via Hey Porsche).
So it's not a benefit at all, it's just another way to control the climate control.
I don't understand why this is such a big "improvement" anyway tbh.

I'm running Flitsmeister (speed camera location app) on Android Auto on the middle screen (media is on passenger display).
With just ONE click (on the lower screen) I'm on the original car's climate control screen.
In CarPlay (Android Auto in my case) I would've needed THREE steps to get to CarPlay climate control (1. out of Flitsmeister, main screen, 2. press climate controls and 3. make selection).
Definitely not an improvement in my case.

Yeah you are right, in the car it is not that big of an improvement. It is just a nice view for the functionality added in the background.

The biggest improvement for me is that Siri shortcuts are added. So If my alarm goes off in the morning (App name: Sleep Cycle) I can start the Siri shortcut to preheat my car, so in an hour or so when I want to leave for work the car is warm. But you can also setup something like; If you leave from work, your wife gets an iMessage with your ETA. Or when you arrive at home turn on outdoor lights and open garage door. In other words, the car is more connected and to showcase they added a fancy view (in Carplay) in your car.

Just downloaded 9.1.0 from the UK App Store (after uninstalling the old version from my iPhone). Under “Account” it says v9.23.47 build 252. Is this the new version?
