As the owner (main user) of a Porsche, you can enable other persons – e.g., family members – as secondary users (additional drivers) for your car and its Connect services. Each secondary user then gets an own Porsche ID and can configure the services according to their personal preferences.
Secondary users are able to use and personalise all Connect Services activated by the main user, including Remote Services and Car Security, via My Porsche.
Please note that the availability of these services depends on the model, model year and country.
There are certain functionalities that are available only to main users, not secondary users. These are:
The main user can add up to five secondary users for one car. First name, last name, email address and a valid mobile phone number must be provided for a new secondary user. Before adding secondary users, you'll need to log in to the car as the main user.
You can add a new secondary user in My Porsche.
Alternatively, you can click this link to the Secondary User section in My Porsche. Then click Add secondary user for your car and follow the instructions.
For some models, you will need to define a security code for the car as a final step. Once you have completed this process, the main user will be informed by email and a notification in the My Porsche app about the final step.
Once the secondary user has activated their account, you will receive an email notification and a notification in the My Porsche app. Depending on your model, you may also need to activate the secondary user additionally. To do so, go to the section Secondary User in your My Porsche profile and click the link Activate secondary user.
Download the My Porsche app (Apple App Store/Google Play Store) and use it with your new credentials.
Log in to the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) infotainment system of the car to configure the Connect Services according to your preferences. For more details on how to log in, please refer to How can I link my Porsche ID with my car?.
As a main user you can remove previously added secondary users in My Porsche.
Alternatively, you can click this link to the Secondary User section in My Porsche. Then, click the rubbish bin icon next to the secondary user’s name to remove them and confirm your deletion.
No, this isn't possible. To become a main user, you need to add your car to your Porsche ID. Please refer to How can I add and manage my cars in My Porsche? for more details. Once your car has been added to your Porsche ID, you are the main owner. Please note that only one main user can be assigned per car.
A guest user is an anonymous user profile that can be activated when someone uses the car who is not registered as the main or secondary user – for example, when used by friends or family members, during test drives or with rental and fleet vehicles. A guest user can't be disabled.
A guest user has access to basic functions such as navigation, climate control, media playback, and limited access to Connect services (if activated by the main user). There is no permanent storage of settings or usage data; all data is deleted after leaving the car.
Guest users are available for the Macan Electric (from model year 2024), the Taycan (from model year 2020), and the 911, Panamera, and Cayenne (from model year 2022).
