718as Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hello, Has anyone subscribed to Porsche connect pls. I understand its free for 2 years and the subscription afterwards. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgav2005 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I wouldn’t personally bother after the free period. I tend to use Apple CarPlay (Google maps) for Navigation and traffic updates. I’ve had Porsche connect in the last few cars I’ve had and can’t say I ever really used any of the apps at all.

Happy Days Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Yep, I'd agree. Just use car play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Does the latest Porsche "system" not run Android as well as Apple Car Play? Poor if your are locked into Apple☹ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo_UK Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Does anyone ever renew these services? I know I didn't bother on both BMW or JLR. Apple/Android really killed this potential revenue stream from the OEMs that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's poor. I read that the latest Taycans are now running PCM6 which supports Android Auto, I wonder which system the MY 2023 BGTS will be running?

Live “hazard” notifications ( traffic , road works, accidents ) in dash outside if sat nav or CarPlay / android auto makes it worth it mind you the built in nav is pretty good - and the map updates are free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Daniel Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 PCM5 in the Macan only does Apple which is annoying as we both have Android phones. Also the built in Sat Nav is atrocious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
