Porsche partners with Apple to integrate music streaming service in e-car
German carmaker Porsche said that it has partnered with Apple to integrate the streaming service Apple Music in the Porsche Taycan, the first electric Porsche vehicle, which will launch in September. 

Subscribers will be able to stream over 50 million songs ad-free, access playlists, and listen to the Beats 1 global live stream with three years of complimentary in-car internet data. The Taycan provides also a voice assistant to request songs, among other things. 

Drivers receive up to six months free of Apple Music. The car has a Burmester surround sound system in combination with Apple Digital Masters. The Apple CarPlay support enables users also to connect an iPhone and receive traffic directions, make calls, send and receive messages and listen to Apple Music.
