FAQ
Questions about Aha Radio (PCM only).
What do I need to know about how the
Aha Radio app starts on an iOS
®
device?
With the iOS
®
device connected to the USB
connection in the car, the Aha Radio app on
the iOS
®
device starts automatically and
appears as a new source under ‘TUNER’. It
should be noted that this requires the iOS
®
device to be in an unlocked state and showing
its main screen (home screen).
Which content can I use with Aha Radio?
In a Porsche, Aha Radio gives access to the
following functions:
Internet radio
Aha Radio shows up as an additional audio
source under ‘TUNER’. As soon as the
connections between the smartphone and
vehicle and with the Aha Radio server have
been established, you can select the source
‘Aha’ and then choose from the list of programs
stored as presets. These programs are web
radio stations, personalised radio (Slacker,
USA only), podcasts or location-based services
such as hotel, restaurant or café searches
(USA only in some cases). You can delete
presets from the list of presets or add new
ones of your own from an extensive selection
of programs. You can also link your Facebook
or Twitter account to your Aha Radio account
and have your feeds read aloud. This link has
to be set up on the smartphone itself. Note: it
is not possible to post to Facebook or Twitter
from the app.
Online weather
When your car is connected to Aha Radio,
you can obtain weather information for your
current location, your destination or any
location that you find with a free text search.
Please note, however, that only those locations
stored in the navigation database of PCM can
be selected. A three-day weather forecast is
also available. Information is accessible from
‘INFO/Online weather’.
Online search
When your car is connected to Aha Radio, you
have access to an advanced points of interest
search under ‘NAVI’. After you have entered
a name and the relevant search region, you
will be given a list of POIs from which you can
select the desired destination and then find
with route guidance. If PCM is connected to a
Bluetooth
®
phone, you will also be able to dial
directly any phone numbers that may be listed
for the POIs concerned.
Why is my Aha Radio reception lost in
some places?
Aha Radio receives audio data over the Internet
connection of the mobile phone. In areas
where Internet access is impossible or too
slow due to poor network connectivity,
the connection to Aha Radio might be lost.
There is a detailed functional overview of mobile phone models that have been compatibility-tested by Porsche, starting on page 43. An explanation of the terms used here can be found in the glossary starting on page 38.
