How to install Porsche Connect APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Porsche Connect APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.porsche.connect-v6.0.1-2211211454-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★App doesn't allow me to log in. I've called customer relations and they reset my password. However, I kept receiving the same error "cannot log in". They said to wait a day and try again to see if it sorts itself out because they have no way to troubleshoot the app I received the same error the following day. So the app is useless to me. After paying a premium price for a vehicle, you'd expect these little things to work. Note - I've never had any issues with my bmw apps. Best, Shaunt
1 ★Setup was straightforward, and things seem to work. A couple of minor niggles: unable to change units of temperature from Fahrenheit to Celcius. App keeps asking me to log in every time I start it. Overall, app is a bit slow/laggy. I am an Android user. My phone and play store are set to UK, so can't figure out why the Farenheit only option! I see Porsche have responded to my previous comment. Thanks. Unfortunately I have had to downgrade my review again, as the App is very unstable.
1 ★Really terrible. I'd give it 0 stars if I could. Pain to get connected in the first place but impossible to reconnect. Connecting via the pcm hotspot and inputting the password then requires login / authorisation from a webpage that cannot be reached. Audi app used to be the same but got good just before I sold it! Not that it really matters as it never found destinations or transferred them to the car anyway. Oh, a second app is required to see the car status, I kid you not. I've given up.
1 ★Would give 0 stars if it was possible. How can something apparently as simple as connecting two devices be messed up so badly. Porsche, what's this about. no QC?? UPDATE 23/02/19 Despite appearing to care with their comment below, it's just for show. I sent an email to which the developer didn't bother to respond. it's a big F O to me and other frustrated Android users. Shame on you!!
1 ★When I purchased my Macan, it worked fine, but at the same time as my 1st service in June, it stopped working. Had 4 visits to dealer, numerous calls to Porsche support, only to be told now that it's probs not compatible with my BlackBerry on Android 6.0, after their recent upgrades, usual excuse for something that hasn't been fully tested, very disappointed, thought Porsche would be much better this
3 ★Updated review from my previous one, I think the app does what it can do, but again, it offers far less functions than a smarter vehicle like Tesla does
2 ★Really disappointing. 1. Have to re-enter my credentials almost every time 2. Connection extremely slow, most of the times it tells me car control is not available. 3. Sending a nav target does never work And don't tell my, I have to connect to the car directly over WiFi, that cannot be the intended use for turning on the A/C or sending over a navigation target. Coming from a Tesla I didn't expect the app to be as good as theirs, but not as bad as it is either.
1 ★Absolutely AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. Please porsche, bring this experience up to your standards. Update 11/2/19 - after calling porsche connect, was told there was a system wide outage for the app. As of this morning, it appears to be working. Still VERY disappointed that a engine start / stop option is u available. That is what I use the most on my Mercedes and Ford Truck. I could care less about the other functions and I suspect most people out there feels the same.
2 ★After using it for a bit I am going to have to reduce my rating for it. - It is slow. This is mainly noted when connecting to the vehicle to get it's location and when performing remote lock and unlock. - The location transfer function down not work as far as I can tell. App states that location was transferred to vehicle but I certainly cannot find it there.
1 ★2019 cayenne owner here. Should've bought a Tesla if I wanted good and intuitive dashboard controls and easy pairing to phone. The Porsche app and in dash navigation are atrocious at best and non-functional at worst. Very clunky to input your navigation controls. There's so much red tape just to get everything connected up and running and once that's done it doesn't even work right. To thumbs down. My old VW was a friendlier setup than this. 🤣 Same Auto group too... ironically.
1 ★Awful App. Very rarely works when you want to do something remotely. Its now saying I have no car connected to it. However when I login on my laptop its there and useable. Absolutely rubbish and a huge let down compared to my old X5 which worked 100%. Hope they can sort this connection problem out in the future as its simply not good enough for an expensive car like this.
1 ★It's a completely shocking app. When you manage to log in, it keeps loosing connection to the car. I have unlimited data on my own sim, and online info and radio are perfect. I only need the app to use Amazon music in my pcm. Why can't that be a loaded app that you log into, then I wouldn't need this useless app.
