A data connection is required to use Porsche Connect
Services. The data connection can be established via
the integrated SIM card or an external WiFi hotspot,
depending on the country.

required to use the integrated SIM card in some
countries. The customer's identity must be verified

of a video call.

ment (PCM) and in the Device Manager.

Use while driving

driving, there is a risk distraction. You may not be
able to respond to dangerous situations in time. For
this reason, some functions are only available when
the vehicle is stationary.

If in doubt, stop when it is safe to do so. Only
perform extensive operations and adjustments
while the vehicle is at a standstill.
1. Only use the multifunction steering wheel, info-
tainment system, etc., while driving if the traffic
