Porsche Car Connect APP

Can anyone tell me what remote services are available in the UK via the connect APP in the new Macan. I'm not 100% sure if on the Macan 1 you could lock/unlock the doors remotely? On the Macan 2 I'm struggling to find this function so presume it's not available. Also anyone seen the "climate" function button flash up on the Macan 2 PCM? Both myself and dealer witnessed this but the button disappears before you can press it!! Again not sure if it's just a glitch but would be interesting to know if anyone out there can infact control the heating from the PCM unit like in other models. I was also told the speed radar function is no longer available on the new Macan PCM. All very confusing when trying to get the information from the connected sites!! Thanks in advance for all your help.

On the Macan 1 you can lock, unlock, flash lights, sound the horn using the app. You can also check current locations and the trip details. You also enable live tracking by paying a subscription fee.

On my 991.2 I cannot remotely lock the doors as I don't have comfort entry (it was buried in the small print in the manual). Perhaps that is why the function isn't there on your app?

To enable this lot do you have to have the tracker enabled?

The vehicle models shown feature the equipment for the Federal Republic of Germany. They also include equipment options, for example, that are not part of the standard scope of delivery and are available only subject to extra charge. Due to country-specific regulations and requirements, some models and equipment may not be available in certain countries. Your Porsche Centre/dealership or importer will provide you with information on the exact equipment scope.
