RIP Porsche Connect App

[magnitude]

There is a new update today, improvements are not something I'm personally super excited about:

• Integration of biometric authentication for security code
• Charging quick actions on home screen [unfortunately this seems to mean the app's home screen, not a widget]
• EV route planning: add charge stop manually as well as set SoC at destination.

Though apparently that also means you can see alternate charging stations on the route, and pick them over the one the app picked for you, so that's an improvement (and I was really missing the PCM-equivalent option of telling what the minimum SoC should be at the destination).

And as suspected, Porsche was actually working on bringing the widgets back, and I just got the update!

Haven’t tried it out yet, but looks to be quite the interesting update. Apparently more stuff can be controlled via CarPlay now?

Experience the My Porsche in Apple CarPlay® integration in your new Cayenne:


You can now enjoy the vehicle-specific user experience within Apple's digital ecosystem. This will allow numerous vehicle features to be controlled directly in CarPlay®.


Furthermore, the update includes the following functions:

• Vehicle status widget: Have the most important vehicle information directly on your homescreen
• Newly adapted EV Services for the new Cayenne PHEV models
• Intelligent climatization: This service reminds you, depending on the weather and in good time before your departure, to air condition your vehicle to the desired temperature. This is made possible after a learning phase in frequently used places.

We are constantly working on improvements and further developments and hope you enjoy using the My Porsche app as your digital companion.


Please note that the scope of functions for the app may vary depending on the model, model year and availability
