Navigation & Infotainment Package

The "Navigation Plus" service enables you to use your Porsche App or your vehicle's mobile phone connection to 

In addition, you can also use the "Navigation" sub-function seamlessly across all output devices. 

For the "Navigation" sub-function, you can select, enter and save destinations and routes in the Porsche Connect App and in your vehicle's PCM. These destinations and routes are synchronised between your vehicle's PCM and the Porsche App when you pair your device. If the "Personal Routes" function is activated in your vehicle's PCM, your vehicle's PCM can save destinations and routes and anticipate possible future destinations based on previous destinations and routes in order to identify up-to-date navigation and traffic information for the anticipated route (Personal Routes). 

When you select the service in your vehicle, PCM (Porsche Communication Management, the central control unit for audio, navigation and communication services) initially registers with our system using the vehicle identification number. 

 If you select the service via the Porsche App, you register with your Porsche ID. 

We require this information in order to assign your vehicle to your user account and to allow us to check that you are entitled to use the service. The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you. 

After the connection has been established, to determine the information you requested, depending on the sub-function, the following data will be transferred from the PCM of your vehicle directly to the servers of the service providers: 

 The data transmitted is used to determine the information you have requested. The information is then assigned to your vehicle by our system and transferred to your vehicle's PCM. Your data will be stored for the duration of the query for this purpose and will then be deleted. The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you.  If you use the Porsche App for the request, the location of your device will be used instead of your vehicle location and the search results will be transferred to the Porsche App.  For the Online Map Update sub-function, the servers of the service providers establish the map version currently used by your navigation system and the region to be updated, and check whether any new map material is available. If new map material is available this is incrementally transmitted directly from the external service provider servers to your navigation system.  The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you.  In addition, the aforementioned information transmitted from your vehicle to service provider without any personal information can be used to improve the service or contribute to the services database. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in improving our service.  We use service providers commissioned by Porsche to provide the sub-functions of Navigation Plus. Please note that the servers of the service providers on which data is processed in the course of the service may also be located outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.  

You always have the option of deactivating the service in the system settings of your PCM. There is also the option of deactivating the service as part of the whole "Services with geolocation" service group. 

The functionality of the service may be limited or no longer available after performing general deactivation in the system settings.

With the "Finder" service, you can use My Porsche, your Porsche Connect app, as well as your vehicle, to determine special destinations in your area, along your route or at your navigation destination via wireless network connection. You can also get up-to-date information about points of interest such as occupancy (parking lots), available charging stations (e-gas stations), current reviews (hotels, restaurants, attractions) and fuel prices (petrol stations), current opening hours, payment options and other information available.

When calling up the service in your vehicle, the PCM (Porsche Communication Management = central control unit for audio, navigation and communication) of your vehicle first logs on to our system with the vehicle identification number. We need this information to be able to assign your vehicle to your user account and to check its authorization to use the service. As a database for creating anonymized usage statistics, we store the service call in connection with your vehicle identification number and a time stamp for a period of 12 months. When selecting the service via My Porsche or the Porsche Connect app, you will be logged in with your Porsche ID.

We use service providers commissioned by Porsche to carry out the search and create search results. Please note that servers of the service providers on which data is processed as part of the service may also be located outside the Republic of Albania. In order to establish a connection to the PCM of your vehicle, a temporary authorization key is exchanged between our systems and the PCM of your vehicle.

Following the connection, the respective search term, the current location of your vehicle and, if applicable, your navigation destination and route are transmitted through our system directly to the respective service providers. The service providers determine the corresponding search results based on the requested search term and the location, destination and route information. Subsequently, the information is assigned by our system to your vehicle and transmitted to the PCM of your vehicle.

In order to avoid repeated requests for information from the service provider if requests by several users are identical, the search queries and content exchanged with the service providers as part of your request will be stored centrally for a period of 30 days and used for the assignment of corresponding requests and contents.

Search terms entered in the PCM of your vehicle or in your Porsche Connect app are incorporated into the in-vehicle search statistics so that recurring search terms can be made available more quickly in a pre-selection. This search statistics can be deleted by resetting to factory settings.

By deactivating the PCM radio module in the system settings, you can deactivate the data exchange of your vehicle's PCM via the wireless network connection. As a result, the functionality of the service may be restricted or may no longer be available.

Further information on data protection at Porsche Connect can be found in our Privacy Policy.

The News service allows you to read your personally chosen news in the vehicle or to have the news read out by the Voice Pilot. During the setup process, you can search for news channels of your choice directly in PCM and subscribe to or link the service to your account in order to import channels already subscribed. It is also possible to search for articles or channels in the subscribed news feeds. If you use feeds, you have the option of saving articles for "Read later".   

When you select the service in your vehicle, the PCM initially logs into our system using the vehicle identification number.  

So that a connection can be established where necessary between your account with a third-party provider (e.g. Feedly) and your news services, PAG is given access to your third-party account and the accounts are linked with each other.   

A time-limited authentication key is generated so that a connection can be established between the servers of the service provider and the PCM (Porsche Communication Management) of your vehicle.  

We require this information you to check the rights for use of the service. The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you.  

In addition, we also use this information together with the time at which the service was accessed (timestamp) for the purpose of creating a database for anonymised usage statistics. We store the information for a period of 12 months for this purpose. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in improving our service offering.  

In order to display your news, stored articles and news are transmitted to us after login with the Porsche ID. The transmitted data is used to display your personalised news in the PCM where you can read it or listen to it. Your data is stored for this purpose until you delete it manually. The legal basis for this is the contract concluded with you.     

You always have the option of deactivating the service in the system settings of the PCM in your vehicle. There is also the option of deactivating the service as part of the whole service group.  

The functionality of the service may be limited or no longer available after performing general deactivation in the system settings.

Using the Weather service, it is possible to view the weather situation at the current location, the active destination or a stored favourite location. In order to use the weather favourites function, the customer must log into the service in the vehicle with their Porsche ID.   

When you select the service in the vehicle, the PCM (Porsche Communication Management) initially logs into our system using your vehicle identification number.Alternatively, it is possible to use the Weather Service without logging into your account (as a guest – favourites functionality is not available).  

To enable a connection to be established to your vehicle's PCM, a time-limited authentication key is exchanged between our systems and your vehicle's PCM. 

We require this information in order to assign your vehicle to your user account and to allow us to check that you are entitled to use the service. The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you.

We store the information for a period of 12 months for this purpose. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in improving our service offering.  

In order to access the weather at the current location, destination and favourites location, a list of cities and coordinates is transferred from your vehicle to the content provider after the connection has been established. Information about the weather at the above-mentioned locations is retrieved on the basis of the transmitted data. The list of favourites with city name and coordinates is then stored in our system under the Porsche ID. Your data will be stored in our system for this purpose and deleted when they are manually changed by you. The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you.  

In order to search for the weather at a location, the name of the respective city is transmitted from your vehicle via our system to the content provider. The city for which the search is to be performed and the GPS coordinates are transferred with the transmitted data. These results are then transferred to your vehicle in order to be displayed. Your data will not be stored or logged for this purpose. The legal basis for data processing is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you.
