FAQ
Questions about Aha Radio (PCM only)
What do I need to be able to use Aha Radio?
At present, Aha Radio is available on the iOS®
and Android® platforms. You need a compatible
smartphone (iOS® device with iOS® 5 or later,
Android® device with Android® 4.0 or later) and
the Aha Radio app from the respective market
(App Store from Apple® or Google Play® Store).
After the app has been installed on your
smartphone, you will need to set up a free
personal account so that your settings,
including your customised list of presets, can
be saved.
Why do I need to register for an account on
the Aha Radio server to use online services?
The use of online services is a personalised
experience where customers can listen to the
music that suits their own taste. User-specific
settings are stored on the Aha Radio server
and the user data are updated in the app when
a connection to the server is established
and services are accessed from PCM. No data
are disclosed to third parties.
There is a detailed functional overview of mobile phone models that have been compatibility-tested by Porsche, starting on page 47. An explanation of the terms used here can be found in the glossary starting on page 42.

How do I download the Aha Radio app to
my Android® phone? How do I keep the app
up-to-date?
Like any other app, the Aha Radio app can be
downloaded from the Google Play® Store. After
you have answered the security questions and
created an account, you will be able to use Aha
Radio straight away. App update notifications
are also displayed automatically by the Android®
system as with all other Android® apps.
With Android® devices, are there any
restrictions on the use of Aha Radio via
Bluetooth® connection?
Yes. To stream Aha Radio, Android® devices need
to be connected via the Handsfree Profile (HFP).
Where a connection is established via the SIM
Access Profile (SAP), the phone gives up its
network access rights to PCM and no longer
has the Internet connection of its own that
Aha Radio requires.

What do I need to know about how the Aha
Radio app starts on an Android® device?
The Aha Radio app starts automatically when
an A2DP connection is established ('AUX BT
connected') and then appears as a new
source under TUNER. Please note that it may
be necessary to start the app manually on
the mobile phone the first time it is used. At
subsequent system start-ups, the app will then
connect to PCM automatically. It should also
be noted that the AUX BT function on PCM
may have been deactivated. In this case, no
connection will be established successfully
between PCM and the Aha Radio app. Please
activate AUX BT on PCM under 'MEDIA/
OPTION/SET MEDIA/AUX'.
How do I download the Aha Radio app to my
iOS® device? How do I keep the app up-to-date?
Like any other app, the Aha Radio app can be
downloaded from the App Store. After you have
answered the security questions and created
an account, you will be able to use Aha Radio
CONTENTS
straight away. With iOS®, app update
notifications are also displayed automatically
via the App Store.
With iOS® devices, are there any restrictions
on the use of Aha Radio via Bluetooth®
connection?
Yes. Restrictions in the Apple operating system
unfortunately mean that the AUX BT function
needs to be deactivated where iOS® devices are
connected by cable. In this case, music from the
iPod® or Aha Radio is streamed exclusively over
cable.
