PCM 3.1 Wireless Carplay & Android Auto Module for Porsche Panamera Cayenne Macan Cayman Boxster 911 718 Support Reverse Camera Parking Sensor Mirror Link Steering Wheel Control

I am so pleased with the ISUDAR Apple CarPlay kit I installed in my 2014 Porsche Cayenne (PCM 3.1). It comes on almost immediately after starting the car and performs flawlessly. And all of the OEM equipment capabilities are still easily accessible if I ever need them.I did experience some challenges/ learnings installing it so highly recommend watching all the videos and carefully reading through the installation instructions. Along the way I managed to damage one of the ribbon cables and one of the data cables. Thankfully, after reaching out to ISUDAR tech support, they promptly sent out replacements for both.Some key learnings & tips to pass along:1) Pay attention to the direction of the ribbon cables (blue band facing direction) if you need to detach both ends of a ribbon cable. It matters.2) Heed the instructions provided on proper ribbon cable seating3) Don’t detach the clips holding the ribbon cables, ever so gently pull them upwards until the cable releases. The clips can easily break.4) If you find yourself detaching the front display from its ribbon cables make sure when you reassemble you attach the ribbon cables to the display first and then the other end to the ISUDAR sister board. This will provide you ample hand room to achieve a proper seating. Note this, if you reassemble the unit and you get a black screen a poor ribbon cable seating is likely your issue.5) Inspect the wires coming into your OEM power connector to see if your vehicle is equipped with fiber optic sound system. If it is you will need to relocate those two fiber optic cables from the OEM power connector to the ISUDAR power connector. If your vehicle has fiber optic sound, they will be the two cables in the lower left-hand side as you look at the rear of the OEM connector. No sound and an inability to switch to other sources, e.g. FM, AM, SAT, AUX, should be your first clue that this is the issue.

I purchased this for my daughter’s 2013 Porsche Cayenne base so we could add CarPlay to this really nice vehicle. I installed following all the instructions and it worked for about a day. Then it started randomly switching the audio source from CarPlay to a random radio station. Some times this would happen a few times a day, sometimes it would happen every 5 minutes. Working with support is tough. They’re in china so they’re asleep when I’m awake and vice versa. We worked on this off and on for a couple months and their “fix” was to apply a new firmware version. This bricked the isudar device. Luckily it did not hurt the radio and after removing the isudar device I have the radio back to factory. This was an incredible waste of time and money. I suggest finding a device that has US based (or US time) support. Be aware, all of these devices seem to come with an extra wiring harness that you’ll have to try to fit into the small opening behind the radio, in addition to the factory wiring harness. It’s a very tight squeeze.

I just bought a 2017 Porsche Cayenne SE hybrid. The car is absolutely beautiful However the PCM is dated for 2024. With that being said I came to Amazon to look around to see if I could find something that could cover what I wanted. What I wanted was Android Auto because I'm an Android guy. I happen to land on this page after hours of searching to see if I could find something that would work in my car and do the things that I wanted to do. This is an absolute game changer. My superiorly beautiful car now has an absolutely superior head unit that goes with today times. From the 3D maps that'll update because of my phone to Spotify which I love and appreciate everything is now all the way up. I am very grateful for this item. It is almost $400 and I love cars but I sure as hell didn't install it myself so I had to pay for that However it is 100% worth it. It's a one-time expense and it will really allow you to bring up the level of enjoyment of your car. Also with that being said this does not stop you from using your PCM. Because I have a hybrid SE it is absolutely essential that I can still use my PCM to monitor my electric battery to make sure that it's producing the levels that I need it to produce. I am 100% able to use this brand new aesthetically pleasing piece of technological mastery and still use all of the necessary functions of my PCM. Don't go anywhere else just stop right here and get this. I guarantee you're satisfaction as long as either you install it right or you have someone install it right.

Pretty simple install. Basically the same as all of the PCM 3.1 CarPlay internal upgrades. In the end, it is a 90% solution, but it preserves the interior and all functions, however inconveniently. Perfect platform if you don’t already have a backup camera. Adding it does add a fair amount of complexity to the install. I have two 2011 Cayenne S vehicles. These upgrades do seem to have inconsistent Bluetooth reliability. Works fine for weeks, then it drops and has to be reconnected as specified in the manual. I use the USB interface since CarPlay is hard on the battery and it keeps my phone charged and it has been rock solid regardless of brand, so far.
