When you purchase a new Porsche and activate the Data Pass, the service is included free of charge for four years. The Data Pass is an add-on to your Porsche Connect package, offering a high-speed data connection to your vehicle. This data can be used for the App Centre with Porsche and third-party apps, Radio Plus and internet access via the in-car Wi-Fi hotspot – ideal for smooth audio and video streaming.
Visit the Connect Store to check the availability for your model and country, and to learn more about the Data Pass.
After four years, you have the option to extend the Data Pass by purchasing a monthly data plan directly from the provider’s website. If you choose not to do so, you can still use your Porsche Connect services as usual (such as Navigation Plus or Remote Services) and driver assistance features (such as Digital Voice Assistant), as long as you have an active Porsche Connect package.
