multi-touchscreen. Even before your hand
reaches the screen, the relevant menu
contents are displayed automatically, and
you can then operate these easily using
multi-touch gestures. With its high-quality
glass surface, PCM is the aesthetically
perfect addition to the centre console. A
navigation module including voice control
system is available as an option.
Sometimes great attachment can mean great freedom.

Online navigation.
A particular highlight of the Connect Plus
module is the real-time traffic information
feature. Depending on volume of traffic,
the roads are coloured green, yellow,
orange or red. Now you can find out even
before you set off which routes are best
avoided if you wish to arrive at your
destination sooner. Throughout the
journey, the optimum route is dynamically
recalculated based on regular updating of
traffic data.
The online navigation package also
includes the
GOOGLE® Street View and
GOOGLE
® Earth services. Their 360°
views and satellite imagery help you
to identify your surroundings at your
destination and along the way.
Apple® CarPlay.
With Apple® CarPlay – included in the
Connect module – you can access the
apps of your iPhone
® via PCM even when
you’re on the move. Using Siri
®, the
Apple
® voice control system, you can
therefore compose text messages, have
incoming SMS read out and send your
replies – or you can listen to music and
podcasts, all the while keeping your full
concentration on the road.

Connect Plus module.
In addition to all the functions of the
Connect module, the optional Connect
Plus module comes with a telephone
module, wireless Internet access and
online navigation.
Carfinder displays, for example, the
shortest route from your current position
to your car’s parked location. Thanks to
Remote Vehicle Status, you always have
fingertip access to important information
about your car, such as odometer
reading, fuel level or remaining range.
Particularly practical: using Porsche Car
Connect, you can make a breakdown call
at any time from any location.
Another feature is the Porsche Vehicle
Tracking System (PV TS), enabling remote
location of a stolen vehicle.
Connect module.
The optional Connect module makes the
optimum connection between your
smartphone and your Porsche. The centre
console contains a special smartphone
storage tray, which forwards the signal of
your mobile phone to the external aerial
of the car, sparing the mobile phone
bat tery and providing optimum reception.
At the same time, you can connect your
smartphone by USB cable for recharging
or to play its audio content.
Porsche Car Connect.
Porsche Car Connect is a feature included
with the Connect module. Using the
associated app, you can control certain
functions of your Porsche remotely via
your smartphone or Apple Watch
