Mastering the Porsche Infotainment System for Enhanced Driving

The Porsche infotainment system comes with all new models, and some older vehicles can be upgraded to include the latest technology at your neighborhood Porsche Center without having to trade it in for something brand new.

Mastering the Porsche Infotainment System for Enhanced Driving: Tips From Your Porsche Center

Customizable Displays

The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system is delivered on a high-resolution touchscreen with crisp HD quality and can be customized with your favorite apps. Similar to the way you arrange apps on the home screen of your smartphone, you can select the apps you use most for easy access. The fully digital instrument cluster display, which is placed in the driver’s line of sight at the highest point of the dashboard, can also be customized via convenient steering wheel controls.

If you opt for the available head-up display, you can also control the information projected in your line of sight from your steering wheel. The head-up display features augmented reality that projects in color almost seamlessly into your surroundings to help you navigate. For example, when you’re following directions from the navigation system, the arrows will display in the correct turn lane so you don’t need to move your eyes from the road to double-check the directions.

Voice Assistant

Do you ever catch yourself asking questions out loud while you’re driving, even if no one else is in the car? Now your car can respond and provide you with valuable information. Just say “Hey Porsche” and the PCM’s voice assistant responds instantly in your choice of 23 available languages. Two microphones and a communication light system show you who the system is listening to if more than one person is talking and will focus on whoever spoke first.

You no longer have to rely on a passenger to help you navigate because you can ask the voice assistant to help you find parking options, control comfort functions, music, and more.

Charging Planner

For electric models, the PCM includes a Charging Planner that uses an algorithm to prioritize high-energy output charging stations on your route to efficiently plan your stops. You can sort and filter charging points by output, easily view all available options in your vicinity, and see whether they’re already in use.
