Lonewolfgjp Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 I’ve got mine washed and clayed ready for a bit of paint correction. I even managed to start the masking which I hate 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringer250 Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Picked it up from OPC following the rear suspension carrier recall. Affected parts replaced. Full Geo check and adjust with print out before and after plus descriptive invoice ( no part numbers or prices) for record. Maintenance book was also updated showing the recall program number and date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it will be recorded electronically on the Porsche maintenance manegement system. At least I hope so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelin Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 22 hours ago, BrianJ said: Took my Agate 2013 981S (owned it for 8 years) to Porsche Centre Solihull yesterday and picked up a replacement 2016 981S in Guards Red. Amazing car in fantastic condition. In my researches I reckon the difference between a 2016 GTS and an S of the same age, spec and miles is at least £8k and often £10k or even £12k. That's a lot of money for a G & T! After a test drive in a GTS I couldn't find any discernible difference on the road vs my old S with PASM, Sport Chrono etc, so looked for another well-specified S instead. This one has everything I want, even the recently released MY 2021 PCM maps! What made you swap from a 2013 to 2016? Was it better and lower miles? 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it better and lower miles? 👍🏼 Just an update really. 2013 car had done nearly 40k miles which isn’t huge but steadily increasing. It had PDK, PASM, Sport Chrono, dual zone aircon, electric folding mirrors, heated seats, nav, phone, F&R park assist, etc so was decent spec and great for touring which is main usage. Idly started scanning the ads for a late 981 GTS but soon realised that a GTS was about £8-10k more than an S of equivalent age, miles and spec which is bonkers. I couldn’t tell the difference on a test drive. Found this 2016 S with 19k miles and all the features of my 2013 car plus PSE, PDLS (so much better than standard Bi-Xenon), DAB radio, Bose, reversing camera (almost essential for my home), TPM, auto dimming mirrors, etc plus 2.5 years Porsche warranty. And 6 cylinders, an absolute must. Immaculate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justchris Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Removed my Isudar board 😢 Driving today and PCM display went blank and sound cut out. Phone showed it was still connected to the board via Bluetooth and WiFi. Took out the PCM checked all connections just in case something had somehow worked its self loose after months use. All connections seemed OK, re installed with no change. Removed the PCM, open heart surgery to remove the board, closed up and reinstalled into car and all OK, even the integrated Bluetooth working again which hasn't worked since the board was installed. I do find it a little odd that it should fail after I applied yet another update a couple of days ago to fix another issue with the the sound and connection Really disappointed as I loved having Android Auto, but not sure it's worth the hassle anymore. Email sent to Kimi and will wait to find out what she suggests 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I wouldn't be refitting that either. Joyeauto seems far more reliable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob™ Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Very occasionally have a connection issue with the Joyeauto box (power off and back on always sorts it) - on the whole I'm very pleased with it. Use it wirelessly with an iPhone though, so I know that might not help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately i'm unable to confirm if the Joyeauto can support wireless Android Auto, and without that it's pretty pointless for my needs.

I have joyeauto and wirelessly connect to a Samsung S20 ultra. Although it doesn't connect automatically, it needs a button push on the screen.

It connects wirelessly for me on Android too, I'm pretty sure you see it working on my video. As above your phone comes up in the middle of the screen when you start up and you push and it connects. Nice to have the cable option for keeping it charged too. Edited February 25, 2022 by daz05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the fact I can just jump in the car with it in my pocket and it just connects. I can keep it topped up at work 😀 Maybe I'll have to are another look at the Joyeauto then 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
