Porsche launches My Porsche app

The ‘one-stop-shop’ digital tool is an improved prospect for both Apple and Android smartphones

Taking over from the My Porsche Essentials, Connect App and Car Connect App is a new digital platform for Porsche owners encompassing all three. The My Porsche app offers Porsche digital services direct to customer smartphones and will combine the full range of Porsche services and information in a single place. Over the next few months the Porsche Charging and Porsche – Good to Know apps will also be integrated.

Compatible with Porsche 911 vehicles built in 2016 onwards, the new app provides a connection between the smartphone and your Porsche, displaying vehicle information such as fuel level, current mileage, location and trip data. There’s also the ability to remotely control functions. App users can also be assisted in contacting their dealer to make service appointments and even to pose questions about their vehicle. With safety and security in mind, should a vehicle unexpectedly move or drive faster than the speed limit, the app can alert users via push notifications. There’s also the option to link with streaming services, digital calendars and to send destinations between the smartphone and your PCM navigation system.
