Your Voice Pilot switches automatically into offline mode if you haven’t activated the online voice control yet or if there’s no sufficient data connection. In this case, some functions will be limited. The offline mode will be indicated by the crossed-out grey globe.
Yes, in the settings (see above) you can choose to turn off the ‘Hey Porsche’ feature. Then the Voice Pilot is only listening when you manually activate it via the Voice Control button on the steering wheel. The setting you make will be stored in your account in the PCM.
In guest mode, the user must give his consent by explicitly setting ‘Hey Porsche’ on each start up, the setting will not be saved for guest users.
Yes, the voice pilot knows ‘Work' and ‘Home’ which you can use for navigation, e. g., ‘I want to go home’, ‘Let’s go to work’.
Recognition only takes place within the car. A special recogniser is used that can only recognise the word sequence ‘Hey Porsche’. The other recognisers (e.g., online recognisers) are only activated when this command is spoken. In this case, the user’s comment is sent anonymously to the cloud. If only the offline recogniser is used, no personal data is stored by Porsche Voice Pilot.
