Set up your car’s eSIM hotspot by choosing a compatible mobile data plan from your preferred mobile network operator and installing the eSIM via the My Porsche app and the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) infotainment system. Once installed, your car provides internet access for extended entertainment services and creates a Wi-Fi hotspot for passengers and their devices – no mobile phone connection required.

The eSIM hotspot functionality is available in the following countries:
Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM in your Porsche that connects your car to the internet without inserting a physical SIM card. The eSIM enables the use of extended entertainment services in your Porsche, including the App Centre, third-party apps and, where available, the Wi‑Fi hotspot. Data usage is based on the mobile data plan you choose with a supported network operator.
Using the eSIM hotspot offers several advantages:
To install the eSIM, you need the following:
You can install multiple eSIM profiles and switch between them either directly in the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) or via the My Porsche app.
The selected profile is shown in the ‘Active eSIM’ section. Please note that only one profile can be active at a time.
If you change your mobile data plan or sell your car, you can delete an eSIM profile either in the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) or in the My Porsche app.
You only need a mobile phone for the initial setup and installation of the eSIM profile. After that, your car connects independently using the installed data plan.
You can choose any mobile network operator that supports eSIM. Some network providers also offer multi‑SIM contracts. Extending your existing phone contract to include a multi‑SIM option may offer a pricing advantage compared to taking out a separate contract.
It depends on how frequently you stream audio and video. For occasional audio streaming, around 2–5 GB per month is usually sufficient. If you also stream video, plan for approximately 5 GB per film in HD.
You can manage your connectivity profile both in your car via the PCM and in the My Porsche app. The PCM offers more advanced technical settings, while the app focuses on essential profile management.
Use the PCM in your car to access and adjust detailed settings of your connectivity profile:
Use the My Porsche app for quick and convenient profile management on your mobile phone:
Yes, you can install multiple eSIM profiles and switch between them. However, only one profile can be active at a time.
Yes, the eSIM hotspot provides in‑car Wi‑Fi, allowing passengers to connect their devices.
This makes it easy to stream content, browse the internet or work online directly from the car.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto generally use your mobile phone’s data connection, not the car’s eSIM. However, if you use wired Apple CarPlay and your phone is connected to the eSIM hotspot, data usage may be routed via the eSIM.
When you sell your car, delete the eSIM profile from your car. It’s also recommended to cancel your mobile data contract with your mobile network operator if you no longer need the eSIM. For instructions, see above ‘How do I delete an eSIM profile?’
