Questions, answers and help for Porsche Connect

You can use the Porsche ID (personal e-mail address) to register for many Porsche services, websites, apps and log into certain vehicle models. If you have bought a vehicle equipped with Connect, you will automatically receive an invitation before your vehicle is delivered. In some countries, you can even create a Porsche ID yourself.

The e-mail with the registration link may have been flagged as spam. Check the spam folder of your mailbox. If you did not receive a registration mail, please contact your Porsche partner.

Porsche Connect services are purchased for a specific vehicle. When you sell a vehicle, the booked services are retained and can be used by the new owner during the remaining term of the service contract. It is not possible to transfer booked services to other vehicles.

You can pay for whatever you purchase in the Porsche Connect Store using a credit card. You will find an overview of all accepted credit cards for your country at the end of each page in the Porsche Connect Store.

We always send you the terms and conditions of your contract by e-mail after you submit your order.

Personal data must be recorded and processed for using some Porsche Connect services. It is very important to us that you know exactly and can even decide yourself which data will be collected and processed for which purpose and exactly how this will be done.

Services you have ordered will be displayed in the PCM the next time you restart your vehicle provided your vehicle is connected to the Internet.

There are different ways of doing this, depending on the model: In your Taycan, the data connection is established via the embedded SIM card. You can make and receive calls at the same time using a mobile phone connected via Bluetooth. A separate SIM card slot is no longer available in the Taycan. In all other models, there are several ways of establishing a data connection, depending on the country:

Data connection via the embedded SIM card (available in some countries): If you have established a data connection via the embedded SIM card, you can make and receive calls at the same time using a mobile phone connected via Bluetooth. It is not possible to have a data connection via the embedded SIM card and a telephone connection via an inserted SIM card in parallel.

Data connection via an inserted SIM card: If you have established a data connection via a separate data-enabled SIM card, you can make and receive calls at the same time using a mobile phone connected via Bluetooth. You can make and receive calls using the inserted SIM card in some countries. If you have an LTE connection, it is possible to make and receive calls in parallel with a data connection, depending on your provider. A data connection via the EDGE mobile phone network (GSM)/2G network is switched off automatically when you use the phone.

Data connection via the WiFi hotspot on your mobile phone: If you use the WiFi hotspot on your mobile phone in the vehicle, the data connection will also be used through this. You can also make and receive calls via Bluetooth. If you have an LTE connection, it is possible to make and receive calls in parallel with a data connection, depending on your provider. A data connection via the EDGE mobile phone network (GSM)/2G network is switched off automatically when you use the phone.
