Hi, I came across this option in the configurator and have selected it assuming this is for additional features in November. The sales guys had no idea but checking...anyone knows about this?

 

Fester, didnt you post the brochure on rennlist? It is the same option listed in there. I too picked it and gave strict instructions to the dealer to pull it if there is any chance of it delaying my build. Its a "nothing" option more of a toy that my wife wants to see operating and execution as she is in the automotive industry. A waste of $440 on my behalf.......

Also I believe its been available in the Cayenne for a while now.

 

Well, I wasn't entirely sure if this configurator option and Nov features were tied..thx for confirmation mate

 

This was the explanation on the Porsche UK site:

Integrated of Online-Functionality via the AHA-Radio - App into the PCM. Available for iPhone and Android devices. Comprises among other things: - Web-Radio and personalised web-music - News-Feeds, Podcasts and Audio-Magazine - Local based content and voice announce (e.g) petrol station price, parking garage situation report) - Weather information - Online Point of interest-search with take over as navigation travel destination - Facebook and much more The AHA-Radio-App is available free via iTunes and the Android marketplace

 

This is fantastic...

If all of these are available, it's going to take the experience to next level. I understand other car companies are doing this (Audi/BMW et al) but I guess this is the first time for Porsche to integrate web applications at this level?

 

Fester, true it's good to have it but what I found in my A7 and Q7 as both had it, was that I hardly ever used it and then to cap it all T-mobile (with whom Audi exclusively offer this service) wanted something like $40 a month to provide the cell based service. The Audi system does not allow for using your existing cellphone or wifi service to tether.

So whilst the possibilities are exciting, the provision via service providers is not. Porsche may of course have changed their offering to that by Audi.

Having stated the above, I'd probably get it but don't know if I'd subscribe to the $40.

 

That's a good point. If that's $40/month, I won't opt for it either. The sales guy was supposed to call Porsche tech services and explain what that is.. I'm traveling overseas but will call him tomorrow to verify ..
