Porsche: Apple Carplay and Android Auto for young classics
COMMUNICATION Porsche Classic has expanded its range of services for classic cars. Porsche Classic Communication Management and Communication Management Plus are now also available for young Porsche classics.
For two years now, Porsche Classic has been offering two infotainment systems, Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) and Communication Management Plus (PCCM Plus), for numerous classic and youngtimers of the brand. Among other things, these retrofit devices enable Apple Carplay and Android Auto to be used for media playback, navigation, and telephony.
Networking for timeless classics
Effective immediately, a corresponding offer is also available for the sixth-generation 911 (997 series, 2005 to 2008), early Boxster and Cayman (987, 2005 to 2008), and the first-generation Cayenne (2003 to 2008).
Ulrike Lutz, Head of Porsche Classic: "There is a great demand for contemporary connectivity for our timeless classics. And soon after the successful sales launch of the first infotainment systems for retrofitting, we received corresponding inquiries from owners of early 911s of the 997 generation."
At the time, the models mentioned were already equipped with second-generation Porsche Communication Management (PCM) on request. The new PCCM Plus now replaces these original built-in devices with a perfect fit.
Seamless integration into the ambience
The feel and look are based on components already installed in the vehicle, such as the air conditioning control panel or pushbutton switches. The PCCM Plus thus integrates seamlessly into the ambience. The Porsche lettering indicates at first glance that the devices were developed by Porsche. Peripheral parts such as the amplifier, loudspeaker or antenna can continue to be used. The navigation displays in the instrument cluster also continue to be supported. The new PCCM Plus devices cost 1613 francs.
