DANGER: Setting and operating while driving. Operating and making settings for the app while driving could distract you from the traffic situation. You may lose control of the vehicle. Operate and adjust settings only while the vehicle is stationary.

Porsche Car Connect provides for the networking of vehicle and mobile phone. This means that vehicle-specific information can be retrieved directly via the mobile phone and selected settings can be implemented on the vehicle using the app.

If there is no active contract for the vehicle, the Porsche Car Connect App menu item is greyed out. Even when the function is deactivated, location information for your vehicle is transmitted if your vehicle breaks down, if you make an emergency call or if the vehicle is stolen.

The functions of the app are divided into three groups in accordance with the services subscribed to.

Remote Services

The following content is available via the Remote Services:

Vehicle status
Trip mileage statistics
Comfort and safety

Safety Services

With this service, the app is able to automatically trigger a breakdown call or, or provide support if breakdown assistance is required.

Security Services

The functions of the Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (PVTS) are available via this service.

Information:

As the Porsche Car Connect app can be used to access vehicle-specific data and other functions, we recommend that you protect this data to prevent unauthorised access by third parties.
Use of the app may incur additional costs with your service provider since the data is transmitted via mobile phone communications networks.

Privacy

Communication between the vehicle and the Porsche Car Connect Appand My Porsche is suppressed when privacy mode is active. No vehicle-specific information is transmitted. This means that no vehicle settings can be configured using the app or My Porsche.

Information: Even when the function is activated, location information for your vehicle is transmitted if your vehicle breaks down, if you make an emergency call or if the vehicle is stolen. Please inform all individuals using the vehicle that communication can be disabled.

Activating Privacy: Navigate to [Vehicle] → [Settings] → [Car Connect] → [Privacy].
