Porsche brand came up with similar application to Apple Watch almost simultaneously with BMW. It is expected that other key car brands will release similar utilities in the coming days or weeks.
The more so because there are all the technical prerequisites. For example, a new generation of democratic Skoda Fabia have the technology SmartGate, which now allows the owner to receive on the smartphone detailed information on cars, up to statistical ‘speed up’ acceleration or the presence of failures in the motor. What prevents transfer it to Apple Watch? So, we wait for a new era of "communication with cars."
In April, Porsche was one of the last who dared to installe in their car Apple CarPlay multimedia system. The novelty will appear on future models of Porsche. Other brands, owned by Volkswagen, took a positive decision on this issue before.
Porsche’s representatives said that creating an application will be a new step in the development of the service under the name Porsche Car Connect and today there is a new version of the program for the new gadget. Now it becomes possible to start the car without key using Apple Watch clockwork will, and also to make a number of other procedures. For example, you can operate the central locking system, turn off the engine, open and close doors, turn on the alarm and dimensions, as well as to find the vehicle on the map with Find My Car application.
To call the watch into play, the user need to connect them to the iPhone via Bluetooth, but first Porsche Car Connect application must be installed, which will be available to users free of charge. To date, this app only works with Cayenne, Panamera, Macan and 918 Spyder vehicles. However, after some time, other models owners will be able to use the app as well.
