224 Peter Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Today I'll try and get CarPlay to work. The car should have CarPlay, but it refuses to talk to my phone. Or my phone refuses to talk to it. Bluetooth works correctly...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I think there is some subtleties in the options that were spec’ed. connect and Connect plus come to mind. Connect gives you CarPlay , connect plus online services - but I may have that wrong - since my I C E is steam driven. There are 3rd party routes to “stuff” - see this post @Richard Hamilton anything on “can do CarPlay” vs “can be made to do CarPlay” ?

drgav2005 Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 So far I’ve bought an excellent set of winter wheels from Moonshine, and a set of Zunsport grilles… I haven’t even picked up my car yet 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Malcolm E Box was hinting at is that it isn't wireless Carplay. You need to connect the phone to the USB port in the armrest cubby. Or get a wireless adapter and plug it in there, like I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm E Box Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 And if there is no USB in the between seats cubby then it does not have carplay as standard. But there are ways to fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
224 Peter Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 There is no USB between the seats, just in the glove box, so I suspect that the car does not have CarPlay, I'll check with the dealer and see what they say. I was told that the car did, but this was by a salesperson. It also seems that despite the hand book states there does not seem to be a SIM Card slot under the flap, annoying. Last, the car will not download vehicle data to the App and an attempt to refresh data failed. The car sees my iPhone and works, but I see no way to update the navigation data. All in all there are some anomalies that need sorting, or explaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Option IV2 includes all those things (Connect+, CarPlay, SIM card slot, and the USB in the centre compartment). You would have to update the map data with an SD card. However, the free SD updates are restricted to (IIRC) 3 years from new. There is a way to 'hack' the system to update the maps and add CarPlay, but you need reasonable computer skills. PM me if you want details, but you can try the dealer route first, as CarPlay is retrofittable with an official Porsche kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC for example the led headlight with PDLS+ is about £2.5k a side new. There are some 2nd units on the Bay of E. These guys talk about offering a lens replacement service, there may be others out there... https://www.skippys-restore.co.uk/Headlight-Lens-Replacement.html Edited August 22, 2022 by iborguk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
