Porsche enhances its in-car PCM system

The addition of new features to Porsche’s infotainment software make it more versatile, intuitive and intelligent

Version 6.0 of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) software boasts a raft of new functions. The most apparent alteration is a revised interface that makes use of coloured icons. Yet perhaps the most noteworthy change is in music streaming functionality.

Streaming service Spotify is now integrated into the PCM. Drivers can link their account to the vehicle using their Porsche ID and use Spotify without the need for a smartphone – all required data is included in Porsche Connect. Elsewhere, improved Voice Pilot assistance makes it easier to access several functions including news, the operating manual and in-car music, and there’s an option for wireless Android Auto connectivity.

The PCM’S new functions are standard as of now on every newly configured Porsche 911 model.
