No subscription at the moment and can confirm this works. Almost all other features are no longer working without the subscription.
For the record it’s the latest updated Porsche App.

If I dont pay for this service, does it mean I can't monitor the tracker that I have paid for ??

Thats a good question. May just be old school telephone call only if there's an alarm.

I think the bit i'd miss is checking on the charging / battery level. However, i wonder if you could still see battery level etc via apps of smart charging services (ovo charge anytime / octopus intelligent). Big issue would be if they stopped working altogether because they also communicate with the car via same servers....

Thanks for confirming this works with the upgraded app as well. Gives me confidence to get the latest without losing the preheat/cool feature.

The Porsche iPhone app does nothing if you do not have an active (paid for) Porsche Connect subscription.

Anyone start getting this error with preheat/precool? It’s been working without Porsche connect until a couple weeks ago.

Of course my subscription ended one week before a 700mile road trip. Really contemplating re upping. Mainly for the pre heat battery nav and looking at charge status when charging and away from car.

Do we have any more data points on whether renewing Porsche Connect after the initial 3 years includes free EA charging for a 4th year? My renewal is coming up in June and I'm not sure just having use of the app is worth it (although not being able to check charge remotely sucks).

I just tested with Porsche Connect disconnected and all Apple Wireless Carplay apps work, except for navigation and car control aspect of the Porsche Carplay App. Voice control defaults to Siri through Carplay. Navigation defaults to CarPlay. Apple Maps and various Carplay charging apps (EA, Plugshare, Charge Port) are available for navigation and charge planning.

Porsche maps and other data driven updates will not be available without Porshce Connect being active. I presume PCM updates will be available at the dealer but will have to see.

sounds like a net improvement then

If you're planning to let the subscription lapse, Electric Sidecar + an OBD scanner can keep track of your SoC data for $80 USD/year. Note that it won't be over-the-air, you'll need to use an OBD-II scanner when driving. App also just recently added support for pulling SoH as well. Happy to give an extended free trial for any forum members whose Porsche Connect subscription just expired — hit me up in the DMs for a code
