Porsche Car Connect Apple Watch app

Porsche drivers can now access Porsche Car Connect functions even more conveniently using Apple Watch. The iPhone still continues to manage communication with the vehicle and now integrates Apple Watch as an additional display and control element. Porsche Car Connect uses the mobile telephone network and thus permits communication with the car over any distance.

Apple Watch provides information on the vehicle status and allows certain vehicle functions to be monitored and controlled by tap and gesture input. The “remote” display, for instance, visualises whether windows, doors, boot lid and sunroof are closed; the vehicle can also be locked if necessary by pressure of the finger* (“Force Touch” function). The “Carfinder” function shows the location of the car, while the navigation function guides the driver to the position of the vehicle if required. As soon as drivers are in the vicinity of their Porsche, they can easily identify it in a full car park or in a multi-storey car park by sounding the horn and activating the lights.

The key comfort functions of the E-Hybrid models can also be monitored and controlled via Apple Watch. A brief glance at the wrist allows users to monitor charging status, range and residual charging time. In the “Climate” menu, drivers can activate the climate control functions* with one tap.
