Kev73 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 As above I haven't got a usb port just a 3mm jack plug, anyone had success trying to play mucic from a USB stick, I'm missing that and a hard drive facility from my bmws to play my music files, I'm not interested in Bluetoothing from my phone etc, too much of a faf,I just want something to fit and forget, there's not even a 6 disc cd changer either to plug a USB box in fooling the head unit like I had in an E46, anything out there?

Stuart21UK Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I cant remember when I ordered mine but there might be an upgrade option you could retrospectively get fitted to the PCM? on my spec sheet it shows as: Porsche Communication Management (PCM) including navigation module with universal audio interface I also have Bose I can't remember which option gave me the USB ports....call an OPC to ask if they can add the bit in the glovebox that gives USB?

Ninesomething Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Yeah I can do it. My car came with a doodah called a promote car play 6. It's really a bluetooth connecter that broadcasts to the radio. You can also plug a flash drive into it. I only used it once but it works OK.

Kev73 Posted December 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 /\Got a link or p/n to it, where can I get one from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 OK had to check. Turns out it's a promate carmate 6. Think it's outdated now because I couldn't find a new one. It's a bit of a clunky thing in fairness but if you google it you might find similar more modern bits of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I rarely listen to music in the car, so my iPod lives in the camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get apple things to communicate with my laptop, just wanted something as an interim as I might be getting a pioneer or kenwood satnav head unit in a few months, we'll see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev73 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 has anyone got something like this fitted to their cdr31 https://unique-ad.co.uk/product/wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-for-porsche-cdr-2011-2016-macan-boxster-cayenne-cayman-911/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelin Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Thats the 'Joyeauto' interface which involves taking the CDR31 apart. I've heard mixed reviews and given the money involved I'd rather just go for a decent bluetooth streamer. It's a real pain that the CDR31 doesn't have a USB connection in the glovebox! I bought a Griffin iTrip some years ago but recently its been dropping out. I've just acquired an iPhone 12 Pro so that may have something to do with it as when I disconnect from the factory phone kit it works fine 🙄 Constantly searching for the best solution to this............. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev73 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I might just go with a pioneer or kenwood double din head unit in the new year, won't look oem but what the hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinjim Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I purchased a Bluetooth to 3.5mm input adapter which can be charged from the 12v supply in the glove box. (It switches off after 15 minutes of not being used) I can then Bluetooth music from my phone (on the phone or via 4g stream) Phone is on a cradle on the dash so I can skip tracks etc. easy and it cost £10 for the adapter and £10 for the phone cradle Simples Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
