runner Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hi all, Wonder if someone could come back and iron out a quick question I have. Had my car for over a year now ... I could have sworn that when streaming your Iphone music on the car ... that you could control what was played on the Porsche Console. But having not used the car for a while (SORN) ... my memories faded lol ... as now I used it the other day ... it only played what I said for it to play on the iphone music player ... but can't control the phones music or search the phones music remotely ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have only ever been able to skip tracks You may have more functionality than me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 are you playing via Bluetooth or hard wired into one of the USB ports ? I can certainly chose what to play from my ipod with it hard wired. Not yet played much with the Bluetooth music or jukebox stuff yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham W Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 If hard wired you can definitely control your music from your iPhone via the centre console. Like others not sure via BT. Never needed to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 External Bluetooth® audio source You can also connect an external audio source that is partially operated on the source itself rather than on the PCM via a Bluetooth® connection. For the connection and operation of the external Bluetooth® audio source, the PCM also supports the A2DP/AVRCP profile. The extent to which the external Bluetooth® audio source can be operated on the PCM depends on the functions supported by the audio source. Operation of the external Bluetooth® audio source on the PCM is therefore restricted in some cases. In other cases, operation on the PCM is not possible. The audio source is then operated on the connected device itself. Please refer to the operating manual for the relevant device. WARNING Accident hazard. Distraction could result in you losing control of the vehicle. Operate the external Bluetooth® audio source only when you are safely in control of your vehicle and traffic conditions permit. If in doubt, stop the vehicle and operate the external Bluetooth® audio source while the vehicle is parked. Calling up an external Bluetooth® audio source/starting playback Press the x button repeatedly until the “AUX BT” audio source is highlighted in the bottom line. Playback starts automatically if this is supported by the Bluetooth® device. It may be necessary to start playback manually on the Bluetooth® device. The “AUX BT” mode is only displayed if a corresponding device is connected to the interface. Activating the interface To use an external Bluetooth® audio source, the AUX Bluetooth function must be activated in the “SET MEDIA / AUX” menu. Press the x button. Press the i button or touch the tab of the same name in the header. Select “SET MEDIA / AUX”. You will only be able to access the “SET MEDIA / AUX” menu if there is at least one CD/DVD inserted or at least one audio source activated (b) in the menu. Select “AUX Bluetooth” to activate (b) or deactivate (a) the function. When you deactivate “AUX Bluetooth”, the Bluetooth® devices are deleted from the list if necessary. With some devices, it may be necessary to set the volume on the device. Recommendation: Set the required volume on the external Bluetooth® audio source. Then set the volume you want on the PCM. The functions and displays depend on the active Bluetooth® device. Skipping a track If you want to skip to the next track, briefly press the o button. If you want to skip back to the start of the track/to the previous track, briefly press the p button. Fast forward/reverse Press the o button or p button in AUX BT mode until the position you want is reached. Switching the shuffle function on/off When you activate this function, the current track is played to the end. All tracks are then played in random order. Press the x button repeatedly until the “AUX BT” audio source is highlighted in the bottom line. Select “Track order”. Select “Shuffle” in Bluetooth® AUX mode to activate (b) or deactivate (a) the function. Repeating a track Activating this function repeats the current track. Press the x button repeatedly until the “AUX BT” audio source is highlighted in the bottom line. Select “Track order”. Select “Repeat” in Bluetooth® AUX mode to activate (b) or deactivate (a) the function. - or to switch it off - Press the p or o button. Starting/stopping scanning When this function is activated, each track from the external audio source is played for approx. 10 seconds. Press the x button repeatedly until the “AUX BT” audio source is highlighted in the bottom line. Select “Track order”. Select “Start scan” to activate the function. Select “Stop scan” to deactivate the function. The track from the external audio source that has started playing will continue to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have a iphone 6 - I'll try and test it tonight using Bluetooth (with and without my ipod plugged in.) I'll also try and remember to see what version my PCM is at - allegedly it's been upgraded to the latest version, but I never actually checked.

I can see the music that's being played, but I can't use the PCM to circumvent the Iphone 6S at all ... just track order can be selected, so if all my songs were open on itunes then I could push play on the iphone and listen to all my music on a journey ... but can't pick a song at all on the PCM ...

Stuart21UK Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I've had the girls when in the rear streaming Spotify (over 4G, via BT) via BT on the Cayenne many a time, certainly can see the track info and skip but not sure about anything else..

Patt Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Nope, narda friggin nothing, ! PCM says the phone is connected for voice and music, yet "AUX" is only available via plug in lead. Oh and version was 4.52 Am I doing something wrong as I couldn't find anything obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have tried to connect via BT then just so you know the Cayenne PCM has had moments (in the past but not recently!) when it simply would not offer the option for BT Aux connection for the Audio when it was already connected via BT as a phone...

Patt Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Well that makes me feel a tad less noob - thanks Stuart. I'll grab the manuals and have a quick read as I recall it wasn't very intuitive when I was testing on Ian's car. Might do a full "forget" and "find" too, as I know the phone part works and the PCM states three channels are open (I'll take a pic next time too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird for us that at least with the wife's iPhone 7plus, its fine pretty much all the time now... The youngest can all sorts of 'teeny' cr*p from the rear seats through the stereo with no issues now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickverwood Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Mine works on a 6s. However from time to time the BT Aux does disappear on the PCM and I have to fiddle around unpairing and re pairing - no specific method just pot luck. It’s really strange as the BT phone functionality works fine all the time so it can’t be just that BT has dropped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 mine definitely worked when I test drove the car. So either the PCM update or the numerous Apple updates have upset the harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I didn't think you could, so I googled and this pinged up: http://www.discountcarstereo.com/A2D-CDR30.html And I did notice today my BT AUX has suddenly reappeared in my PCM source list - I rebooted the phone last week ! I'll have another play this weekend and report in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Ok so my PCM lost my ipod this weekend and yet found the Bluetooth (again) So if I hit the left or right buttons on the PCM it will skip to another track on the phone, but it is completely randon. ie if it's playing track 2 of an album it does not skip to track 3. In fact it doesn't even stick to the same friggin album ! And then my ipod suddenly on Saturday evening - it's the same with that it just random skips - even if you use the scan feature it's completely random. So yes I can skip tracks on either ipod or BT phone - however I can not chose what comes next unless I scan and wait for 1000's of intros to play until it picks the one I wanted to search for. I have "random" de-selected yet it will not even play an album it always random picks the next track from which ever album - just pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
