Just got our Macan yesterday.
The guy in the showroom said it's only possible to have the PCC car connect on one IOS device. This seems bizarre in this day and age, with both me and my missus sharing driving.
Is it possible to add the app to two different devices with different phone numbers?

Thanks in advance.

You can add multiple phones to your PCC account. I'm not sure how many. Eg, you can add a PAYG Italian phone number when travelling. You need at least one though.

These are the phone numbers they use when they call you to say your car has been stolen (or more likely, you're sitting in it!).

I can't remember the phone number being relevant to the iOS app though. IIRC, I just installed it and lo! it found the car. Someone who's done this recently might be able chime in.

When I tried to add it to the second phone was asking for the 16 digit code that was text over when setting up car connect.
Can I just add this in to add the app to a second phone?

I would have thought so.

Although you could add the phone number of your second phone to your account and generate a code for that too.

Is there a limit on the amount of phones that can be added? Would need three adding ideally?
