- Dolby Atmos comes to Bose and Burmester Premium Porsche Systems
- Also on board: Alexa support and a new app center
- New Hardware delivers improved responsiveness
Porsche’s entertainment in the car will be even better in this year’s models thanks to a significant upgrade that brings Dolby Atmos to the 911, Taycan, Panamera and Cayenne.
It is also not the only new feature. There is also the Amazon Alexa plus an extended Porsche Connect package, and the system itself must be even smoother in everyday operation.
Porsche also introduces a new app center that we first saw in the allelectric Macan.
What is new in 2025 Model Porsches
Porsche calls its infotainment system Porsche Communication Management or PCM too short (yes, a little confusing for those of us for Hi-Res sound and pulse code modulation, but we press). The new model year brings upgraded hardware and it comes with ten years of Porsche Connect “to ensure a reliable digital user experience.”
One of the major changes is the App Center that works in about the same way as the well -known telephone and tablet app stores. Depending on the market (not all app manufacturers offer their products globally), you can add apps to the streaming of music and podcasts, apps for weather forecasts and news and even game and karaoke apps. Porsche says there will also be smart home apps that allow you to control your home when you’re on the go.
Another major upgrade is the addition of Alexa to the existing Porsche Voice Pilot. You can activate it with Alexa Trigger Word, with a button or with one of the PCM icons. Alexa will be available in the US, UK, Ireland, Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Canada.
And then there is Dolby Atmos. For the first time, cars with premium and advanced audio systems from Bose and Burmester will have Dolby Atmos and will be compatible with atmos-capable apps from the App Center. To be dropped right in the middle of an album when I run a Porsche? Yes please.
The upgraded PCM will be in vehicles distributed from June 2025 and these vehicles can be ordered now.
