STUTTGART: Porsche is improving the digital user experience for model year 2026 911, Taycan, Panamera and Cayenne model series starting in June.
The revised Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system features more performance and offers access to the Porsche App Center.
Other new features include Dolby Atmos for a truly immersive sound experience, the Amazon Alexa digital assistant and an expanded Porsche Connect package.
Thanks to new hardware, the PCM system is now more responsive.
As well as greater computing power, it offers additional capabilities, such as direct access to a large number of third-party apps for native use directly in the PCM.
The Porsche Connect package is included as standard on these models for 10 years starting from model year 2026.
Porsche presented the App Center for the first time with the introduction of the Macan Electric and is now extending the functionality to other model lines.
For the first time, in addition to the Porsche Voice Pilot, Amazon Alexa can also be used as a digital assistant while driving.
The service can be used, for example, to control smart home functions such as automatic garage doors or home lighting.
Other typical functions of Alexa include researching information, creating and editing to-do lists and shopping lists, or playing podcasts and music.
Also, for the first time, cars equipped with premium and high-end audio systems from Bose and Burmester feature the Dolby Atmos immersive sound technology.
The prerequisite for this experience is an audio source that supports Dolby Atmos – corresponding apps are available in the App Center.
