has updated its Apple CarPlay support, integrating My Porsche features directly into the Apple software.
Users can now change features including sound profiles, climate control, and ambient lighting with the Porsche app while using Apple CarPlay., with plans to roll the changes out to other models soon. Apple CarPlay just got a little more useful for Porsche owners. Underscoring further just how much owners prefer third-party software like CarPlay over the native manufacturer systems, Porsche has updated its My Porsche app software, allowing for further support within Apple CarPlay. Users can now make changes to things that would otherwise only be controlled by the manufacturer software.
The new functions can also be added to new "wellness modes" like Relax, Warmup, and Refresh, all using CarPlay. Possibly the most exciting part of the update comes from the ability to use voice activation and Siri for things like changing climate control or radio settings.The added level of integration comes on the heels of a similar update Porsche launched in May. In that update, Porsche added support for finding EV chargers in the native Apple Maps software for the Taycan.
Owners can activate the new feature with a QR code in the PCM . The updated software is free and available now for the new Cayenne SUV. Porsche promises to roll the new version to more models in the future.
