Please note that there might be slight differences in how the buttons in the steps are described depending on the model or model year of your Porsche. However, in all models, Porsche Connect Services must be activated before remote access is possible.
How do I grant remote access authorization in my Porsche?
To control the remote services in your car using the My Porsche app, like locking and unlocking your car or viewing trip data, you will need to grant remote access authorization in the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) infotainment system.
If you want to temporarily prevent Connect services from being accessed via the app, you can use Privacy Mode to turn off Connect services. Also, if you remove your vehicle from the My Porsche app, all connections to the car, like remote access, are automatically removed.
