Hello/Bonjour

Anyone here had made a test of the "Porsche Tequipment" option called "Post-equipment real-time traffic information" ?

Comment:
It seems to be an alternative to Waze or iCoyotte App... but with integration of the information on the PCM screen....


Here is the description of the catalog
Post-equipment real-time traffic information
Real-time
traffic information allows you to view the current density of traffic
in color on the map display of the PCM and to obtain a better dynamic
route calculation compared to TMC / TMC Pro by using sources
Of real-time data. Real-time
traffic information is received via your iOS® or Android® smartphone
with the "Aha Radio" app (available for free on Apple iTunes® and
GOOGLE® Play).
Included updating of map data from your navigation system to the current version of data (model year 2016). Note: For Android® devices only in conjunction with the pre-device for mobile phone or phone module. Available for vehicles with PCM from 11/2012.

Note: Real-time traffic information is only available in some European countries. Right
of use for real-time information on valid traffic without additional
charges at least 36 months from validation of service in the vehicle.
Use of online services only with mobile phone contracts with data option and depending on coverage of mobile networks. The
use of the services may incur additional costs (subscription and
consumption depending on the contract of mobile phone subscribed, it is
recommended to subscribe a contract with flat rate data unlimited, due
to the large volume of data).
You can get more information from your Porsche Center.

Hi - real time traffic comes with Connect+ - this looks like a partial retrofit for those without Connect+.

Seems to me that Trafic information with Connect + comes from Google Maps

In that option it comes from another App called "Aha Radio"

Aha is just an app by Harman for getting data into their products (like PCM). As a non connect+ car doesn't have the data SIM I presume they are using this instead. Aha doesn't actually have the traffic data it is just the way to get data into the PCM.

I suspect that Porsche actually use Inrix for traffic data rather than Google.

I've got the answer...

It was an "old option" for PCM 3.0

No more available since 2016 models with PCM 3.1 or 2017 models with PCM 4.0

Traffic information in a "light version" exists by default in PCM 4.0 is saying my Porsche Center that i visit this afternoon
