Is Porsche Connect worth it?

[Taycan4S_UK]

Am I reading this thread correctly, the preheat/condition is still useable after the subscription ends?

I use this and state if charge.
I understand that I’ll lose state of charge once my subscription ends. I mainly use CarPlay for navigation.

Yeah. That‘s how it is working for me since some months.

You even know some sort of SoC as it does not let you pre heat under 20% ?

This feature is inconsistent as I some members reported they lost it once the plan expired while others still have it so seems to be area specific. I am in the states and seems like we'll lose this one from what I've gathered. This alone to me is worth the money.

The biggest feature they DON'T have, doors locked? or unlock or roll your windows remotely.

I have an option to check if doors or windows are locked/closed or unlocked/open. Also an option to lock or unlock doors.

I have a 2020, I stand correct that the newer additions have this.

Mine is a MY21, you would think that all Taycans would have the same features given that pcm knows if the doors/windows are closed or not…

For my road-trip usage, Porsche Connect is a must-have – especially as built-in navigation is the only way to get battery conditioning for fast charging:

• Navigation map updates
• Live traffic reports and re-routing
• POI and charger routing (for those that are not in the built-in database)
• Monitoring charging process remotely (while eating at fast charging stops or destination charging at hotels)

If the Apple Maps integration could handle battery conditioning – it would give me more pause for thought.

As of now – from year 3 onwards – Porsche Charging, Connect and Tracking is in the budget planning. But agreed – they certainly add up – and it would be nice if Porsche provided the three services in a single discounted package.

Hi Your 10k in year 9 comment made me look more closely! Have you shopped around for insurance? I pay about £1200 here in the UK though the NFU quoted £2k I think. I use Admiral.

Nice ! Thanks for the screenshot. Just wish they also included battery level then I wouldn’t ever need to pay for the subscription hehe

Maybe in the UK they allow it but in the US the preconditioning is also disabled

Got an email saying my "Porsche Connect" contract is expiring. I thought that this was the free 30-min charging sessions at EA stations but the online description is quite different. Has anybody renewed this - or not - and can advise if it's worth it? I use Apple CarPlay instead of most PCM functions but the list of "Connect" services is quite comprehensive, and honestly I don't think I should have to pay for them.

Your phone app will basically be useless. You won't even be able to check that charge level.
It is a scam. I did not renew and it just leaves a horrible taste in my mouth related to Porsche; especially since their electronics are complete crap. I still have to two finger reboot my PCM at least twice a week and voice recognition and GPS are the worst I have ever used.
