Porsche Voice Pilot is an online enhancement to your in-car Voice Control feature, designed to improve your driving experience through voice-operated car control. It allows you to use the full range of Porsche Voice Control commands and manage most of your Connect functionalities.
Porsche Voice Pilot offers useful features by offering deep in-car integration with extensive car functions and navigation capabilities.
By utilising online voice recognition, the Voice Pilot delivers better results, especially for tasks such as entering a destination, media control or weather updates.

The Porsche Voice Pilot enables you to control a wide range of functionalities using natural speech. These include navigation, phone, climate, weather information, car settings, system settings, media and radio settings. If a function is not voice-controllable, your Porsche will inform you that the command cannot be executed.
Please note that the available voice control functions may vary depending on your model and model year and that for some voice pilot commands the online/speech recognition feature is necessary.
For cars that have the App Centre integrated, some installed (third-party) apps can also be controlled via Porsche Voice Pilot.
For the models listed below, the Voice Pilot uses advanced artificial intelligence based on large language models to enable even more natural and intuitive voice interaction in your car.
Some of the AI features include:
Spot On is a video series that explains different features of your Porsche. In this episode, learn how Voice Pilot lets you control temperature, music, navigation, and more—all with just your voice once activated.
You can pause your Voice Pilot after giving a command by saying ‘Pause’. Please note, you need to activate the Interrupt Voice Control setting (see above) to enable voice interruptions. Alternatively, you can stop it by tapping the microphone in your PCM.
Please go to your PCM and access Settings > Voice Control or Voice Pilot > Activate Activation with ‘Hey Porsche’ or activate Wake up Word. Menu labels may vary based on the car model and model year.
The Voice Pilot's online status is indicated by the globe icon on your PCM display during voice interactions. If the globe is blue, Voice Pilot is online.
Offline mode is indicated by a grey crossed-out globe. This means that the data connection is insufficient or that online voice recognition hasn't been activated yet.
To quickly check your Voice Pilot settings, tap the globe icon.
When an update is available, you’ll receive a notification in the notification centre of your PCM. You can then download and install it from the App Centre. For more information about updating apps, see How to manage apps from the App Centre.
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.
